Mary Trump Explains Why Jared And Ivanka Are Distancing From The Donald

Even though he announced in November that he plans to seek the 2024 GOP presidential nomination yet again, two of ex-president Donald Trump’s closest advisers and confidants, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, made it clear they won’t be part of the next campaign.

What exactly changed for Jared and Ivanka? Their cousin, Mary Trump, thinks she knows exactly why the two are backing away from the failed, one-term, twice-impeached former president.

Speaking with Ali Velshi of MSNBC, Mary Trump noted that the two can sense that Donald is “losing value.”

“Donald is definitely losing value in terms of the party and in terms of politics generally, and Ivanka and Jared are legitimately wealthy people apart from whatever Donald’s doing, so they don’t need him to the same degree they might have.”

She added, “It’s the same with most of Donald’s inner circle — there is always a transactional calculation being made and a lot of people are making the calculation that it just isn’t worth it for them anymore.”

In other words, it has always been a sort of quid pro quo. Jared and Ivanka wanted to enrich themselves, so they took jobs in the Trump administration because they knew it would give them the perfect opportunity to make a mint. If you doubt that, consider the massive deal Jared made with Saudi Arabia after his father-in-law lost the 2020 election.

PBS reported on the Kushner deal with the Saudis back in April.

A $2 billion investment that President Trump — former President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner secured last summer from a fund led by the crown prince of Saudi Arabia has raised questions about the ethics of post-White House business dealings.

Kushner’s private equity firm secured the investment after Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman overruled a host of objections from the sovereign wealth fund’s advisers. The New York Times reported some of the group’s concerns. The private equity firm was found to be — quote — “unsatisfactory in all aspects.” The kingdom would be taking on the bulk of the investment and the risk.

Ivanka, on the other hand, got new trademark approvals from China while her old man was still president, CNBC noted in 2018.

President Donald Trump’s daughter and senior advisor, Ivanka Trump, last month won initial approval from the Chinese government for 16 new trademarks, covering a wide range of products that include “voting machines.”

The approval for Ivanka Trump’s trademarks — which comes three months after she said her personal clothing brand was shutting down — occurred “while her father continues to wage a trade war with China,” noted the public interest group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, which first reported the approval.

Jared and Ivanka have lined their nest and now they’re kicking Donald to the curb.

Mary Trump Calls Her Uncle A ‘Mass Murderer Criminal’ For The Deaths He Caused While POTUS

Mary Trump is a psychologist and podcaster who also happens to be the niece of failed, one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump, and on the most recent edition of The Mary Trump Show, she accused her uncle of being a “mass murderer criminal” who belongs behind bars for the thousands of Americans he helped send to an early grave.

Speaking with Law Professor Jennifer Taub of Western New England University and Brian Karem, the White House correspondent for Playboy, Trump said she was disgusted that her uncle had not yet been charged for the way he mishandled the COVID pandemic in the United States, which caused the death toll to be much higher than it had to be:

“The Trump, the soon-to-be deceased Trump Organization charged the Secret Service like five times the government limit to stay at his sh*tty hotels, we’re learning. We’ve learned that – and this, this to me. I will never cease to understand why this wasn’t made a bigger deal – that he politicized it, not just politicized the CDC. I mean, that happened eventually. But before he got that far, he essentially hamstrung the CDC and prevented it prevented them from doing what it was designed to do, which was to protect the American people from things like COVID-19, which resulted in the unnecessary deaths, and therefore purposeful deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans. That alone – that alone should have landed this, the former, whatever the f*ck we want to call him, the mass murderer criminal Donald Trump — in prison.”

She also mentioned that recent testimony from the January 6 House Select Committee suggests that the U.S. Secret Service knew about threats that had been made against Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and then-vice president Mike Pence, which could have potentially led to a massacre on that fateful day:

“People continue to pretend that [President] Joe Biden just waltzed into office as if everything was just fine. And he’s being measured against this completely irrelevant standard. Like, this is not normal. None of it’s normal. And he had so much on his plate to deal with because of the last administration. And and, you know, he had to like, dig us out of like, the Marianas Trench,” Trump said. “So now we’re finding out that, as we learned last week from the January 6th [Committee], the FBI and the Secret Service knew. They knew! What was heading our way. Maybe not down to the last detail, maybe not to the exact size of the crowd, but they knew that there were threats against Nancy Pelosi. They didn’t act on that until after the insurrection had already started. They knew that people were coming. They did nothing. In fact, they stood down! Right?”

There’s an almost endless list of crimes Donald Trump could be charged with. If he’s indicted on even 1/100th of them, he’ll spend the rest of his life behind bars, which is where he damn well belongs.

Mary Trump: Donald ‘Will Turn On Everybody’ If He’s Indicted

We are now closer to seeing disgraced, one-term former president Donald Trump indicted than at any time since he first decided to run for the White House back in 2015.

From investigations in Georgia, New York and from the January 6 House Select Committee, along with the Justice Department, Trump is under the microscope wherever he looks, leaving many legal experts to predict that the bar of justice is about to catch up with the ex-president.

But what happens if indeed Trump is hit with one or more criminal indictments? That was the question posed to his niece, Mary Trump, by talk show host Thom Hartmann:

“What in your opinion? I mean, you know, your uncle probably better than anybody else. And you have the added advantage of a study in psychology, which I believe provides you with a lot of insights into human nature that many of the rest of us may lack. What should we expect if Donald Trump is indicted?”

She responded:

“We should expect a full court press, by him and everybody in his orbit, to change the subject, muddy the waters, deflect, project, cast blame on everybody from the the lowliest of White House aides on up. He will not take it lying down and he will engage everybody who continues to be a hanger-on to do his bidding. And that’s partially why we’re here, right? I mean, Donald didn’t do this by himself. He was enabled at every turn from people in his inner circle, everybody in the executive branch, and almost the entirety of the Republican Party.”

That led Hartmann to ask this follow-up:

“So do you think he’s going to be spraying his fire, as it were, at his enemies, or what he views as the people who might have thwarted his efforts? I mean, even within his own circle, like Pat Cipollone, who is not on his side on this thing, apparently. Or is he going to, is he going to turn on the people who were with him, you know, the Jim Jordans and Marjorie Taylor Green’s and whatnot, the people who essentially failed in pulling this thing off.”

The former president’s niece replied:

 “I think he’s going to turn on everybody. I think he’s, as we’ve seen, his circle is getting smaller and smaller by the controversy. So I think there will be very few people left standing.”

No one will be safe. Donald will even toss his beloved Ivanka right under the bus to save his own ass. How ironic would it be if Donald Trump winds up causing the complete destruction of his own family?
