Trump's Niece Slams GOP For Turning Blind Eye To Ex-President's Attack On Democracy, Nexus With Dictators: 'We Need To Make It Stop'

Donald Trump’s niece Mary Trump on Monday reflected on the current political scenario in a post she wrote in connection with the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.

We have lost sight of the promise that arose in the wake of that dark day, said Mary Trump in a substack post.

“In the intervening years, starting with the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, we squandered the global goodwill that sprang up in the atrocity's aftermath, missing opportunities and, instead, creating new horrors,” she said.

The psychologist wondered what the people who stayed at home during World War II, yet sacrificing in their own way and witnessing battles from afar, felt watching the “rise of American fascism, the alarming spread of anti-Semitism, and the normalization of scapegoating and hatred as a political strategy.”

Mary Trump said the experience of those who survived and lost and suffered on the fateful day of 2001 could be similar.

“How brutal the betrayal when the leader of one of our two political parties has been indicted for attacking American democracy after already having embraced the autocrats and dictators of Russia and Saudi Arabia and yet continues to have the full support of almost every other elected official in his party?” the host of the “Mary Trump Show” podcast said.

Recalling the horrors of the day, Mary Trump said the atrocities that occurred planted a seed of destruction in our midst.

“Since then, in large part because of the mistakes we continue to make, it has taken root like an invasive species designed to choke the life out of everything worth living and fighting for,” she said.

“And we need to make it stop.”
