ABC News Exclusive: Mary Trump Interview with Stephanopoulos ABC News

[markpkessinger]

Extraordinary, hour-long interview with Trump's niece! She is, unlike her uncle and cousins, very well-spoken and articulate, and what she says rings very true.

I particularly appreciated her reference to her family's embrace of the "toxic positivity" of the Rev. Norman Vincent Peale!

1. I believe her

without any doubt.

9. I want to know what her brother thinks

You know, the brother who's sick child was dumped off the family insurance policy.

He has been oddly silent.

[llashram]

10. I hadn't known

that silence is telling then.

[markpkessinger]

11. Actually, he hasn't been silent

You can read the article about the statement he released at https://people.com/politics/mary-trump-brother-blasts-her-tell-all-book/ .

He says:

“My wife, children and I have a strong relationship with our extended family. We had no involvement with the preparation of this book, which is a breach of trust and a violation of our privacy," Trump III said in a statement sent to PEOPLE by the Trump Organization.

"We consider our family matters to be private," he continued, "and will not be commenting further.”

Note that he does not say her allegations are untrue, just that he objects to what he sees as the violation of his privacy.

12. Interesting

One wonders if the deal covered by the NDA might have been a little lopsided.

Then again, I've always been a suspicious old bag.

6. Why should we not buy it?

I don't mind supporting Mary Trump one bit by paying for her book!

[Hamlette]

7. I agree, I'd never pay for Bolton's book but I bought Mary's book, no prob.

8. My feelings exactly! n/t
