Mary Trump - It's Not a Threat, It's a Promise

Over the last few days, we’ve been treated to some of Donald’s most bizarre behavior—including a ten-minute disquisition on Arnold Palmer and his anatomy; a twenty-minute ramble after the sound cut out at one of his rallies; and the spectacle of him in an apron pretending to work at McDonald’s. As you know, I think it’s important to shine a bright light on all of this, in part because mockery is an effective tool, and in part because we need to inform people just how unfit Donald is and how swiftly he seems to be deteriorating.

But Donald poses other, serious threats beyond his cognitive and psychological impairment that can’t get lost in the shuffle. His agenda for a second term, which is founded on grievance and a desire to do real harm to the American people—at least those of us who oppose him—should have us all sitting up and taking notice.

Over the last couple of weeks, my uncle has been saying the quiet part out loud, claiming he will use the military against the “enemy within.” Initially, he kept this vague, and the implication seemed to be that he was referring to undocumented workers—which would have been bad enough.

But during a “town hall” with Fox hack, Harrison Faulkner, he got more specific: he targeted Democratic politicians like Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi, and Democrats in general, whom he said are “sick” and “evil,” simply because we do not support him and are not going to vote for him.

Obviously not a direct quote! I adapted it to suit the occasion. It is nonetheless appropriate.
