Showing Original Post only (View all)Mary Trump stark warning re: political ambitions of Ivanka & Don Jr - & possibility of Trump Dynasty [View all]
Uggh... British interview with Mary Trump is enligtening, disturbing, and compelling.... I tried to snip the best parts, but you lose some context by not reading it allMary Trump has a stark warning about the political ambitions of Ivanka and Don Jr and the possibility of a Trump dynasty

--snip--
According to his niece, Mary Trump, the question of her cousins potential dynastic ambitions is a relevant one, albeit one that makes [her] head hurt. --snip--
The fact that the Republican Party is in such a state that either one of these people could be considered is quite astonishing, says Dr Trump, who adds that of her two eldest cousins, it is more likely that Donald Trump Jr who she calls Donny will follow his father into the political arena.
Hes tied into the base in a more fundamental way because hes so abrasive and so vicious from what I can see online, he has no boundaries he wont cross, and theres nothing he wouldnt do to advance Donalds agenda, so I assume the same thing would be true for his own, she explains. But I dont see Ivanka having the same kind of appeal to them [the GOP base] in brute force terms. --snip--
If Joe Biden wins, his margin has to be enormous. It has to be so big that practically nobody other than the 22 per cent to 28 per cent of people who wont question anything Donald does and even somebody like Mitch McConnell isnt going to be able to claim that it wasnt a clean victory, she explains, adding that a huge and crushing loss will cause the president to be so narcissistically injured that hell have to get away from it just to protect himself from acknowledging it. --snip--
When asked if Donald Trump would flee to one of his international properties to avoid prosecution, she says such a possibility would be freaky because her uncle is so provincial.
But on the other hand, he almost never goes outside, so what difference does it make where he lives?

If Trump loses decisively, I agree. I JUST CAN'T entertain the alternative, but she does...

I'm more worried about rich people in general deciding to be President as a vanity project.
