Mary Trump On Donald Trump's Criminal Intent - The Last Word - MSNBC



Mary Trump joins MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell to discuss Donald’s mindset after he realized that someone “as weak and sycophantic as Mike Pence” was not going overturn the 2020 election, how his rhetoric endangered Pence and why he encouraged violence on Jan. 6: Donald knew “the only way for him to get what he wanted was for the worst possible events to unfold.” Aired on 06/16/2022.

And I have both of Mary Trump's books, she knows TFG and his history better than anyone. And she's also a clinical psychologist.

So, Pence doesn't go along? No problem, have the mob kill him. Pelosi and other Dems are similarly murdered, but collateral. Once the counting process is stopped, declare martial law. Send in the Army to clear the Capitol. Important detail: Kill some of the mob so it looks like TFG is leading the calvary. Ruling by decree and gunpoint allows far more than ten days for states to "reassess" their elector slates. But remember, it's good people on both sides!

Would you be surprised if those grotesque, imaginary details surfaced at the next hearing? Sadly, even thought I made it all up, I wouldn't.

There's not much I wouldn't believe. I also did quite well in history, but TFG is a complete anomaly - kinda like "Which one doesn't belong?" And he had no concept of history, laws or just "normal" behavior," so I would put absolutely nothing past him.

We've seen, again and again, that once anyone disagrees with him, they're "dead" to him. Others only exist for him to use to further his wishes and aims. And despite his belief that the U.S. military is comprised of "suckers and losers," he's not above using them, too.

But would anyone step in? So many who opposed his "plan" are speaking out now, but why didn't they take action or speak out at the time??
