Donald Trump's niece, Mary Trump, weighed in on the recent developments in the political arena and issued a dire warning to the people of America.
Deck Stacked Against Us: With the “bizarre spectacle” created by the media and law enforcement during Donald Trump's arrest and booking, the mass murder of black Americans in Florida by a racist Nazi, and the rhetoric of the Republican candidates during the debate, the extent to which the “deck seems to be stacked against us” has come into focus, said Mary Trump in a substack post on Sunday.
She said the Florida mass shooting was an offshoot of the racist policies pursued by the state of Florida.
Florida, under Governor Ron DeSantis has come off as anti-immigrant and anti-LGBTQ, and the state recently courted controversy by tinkering with the school curriculum to suggest some Blacks benefited from slavery due to the new skills they learned in the process.
Time Running Out: Mary Trump wondered why many whites believe that helping less fortunate people or people different from them threatens the majority. The trend, the psychologist said, can be traced back through the history of white supremacy in America.
“But as an empathetic human being somethings I just don't get it,” she said.
Mary Trump, who is also a podcaster, suggested America could be running thin on time.
“We have fourteen months to make sure that we snatch democracy from the jaws of fascism; fourteen months to drive the fascists back under the rock from which the modern Republican Party rescued them,” she said.
The Republican party is now comprised almost wholly of fascists, the ex-president's niece said.
“It would be extraordinarily helpful if the media, and more Democrats, treated them that way,” she added.
