Trump's Niece Says 'Donald And His Sons' Allowed To Lie About Pretty Much Everything: 'Feel Like The Deck Is Increasingly Stacked In His Favor'

Donald Trump’s niece Mary Trump, in a new Substack post published on Friday, weighed on the DC Circuit Court of Appeals’ stay of the limited gag order Judge Tanya Chutkan placed on her uncle. The stay will remain in place until a hearing on the matter takes place on Nov. 20.

What Happened: Donald Trump now gets 17 days during which he can “mock, insult and otherwise threaten potential witnesses and jurors,” Mary Trump said in the post.

“I know this is standard operating procedure in such matters, but given everything else that's been happening in Donald's other trials, it continues to feel like the deck is increasingly stacked in his favor,” the former president’s niece, who is also a psychologist, said.

Delving into the limited gag order that was also imposed by New York State Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron, who is presiding over Donald Trump’s civil fraud trial, Mary Trump said so far the judge has imposed two fines, totaling $15,000. Engoron has now expanded the limited gag order to include Donald Trump’s lawyers, she noted.

“Donald and his sons, however, are still allowed to lie to reporters about pretty much everything, as long as they stop short of launching personal attacks against court officers or those testifying,” Mary Trump said.

On the other hand, Donald Trump’s “personal pocket judge,” Judge Aileen Cannon of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, continues to protect her “favorite” defendant, the psychologist alleged. The judge has shown a willingness to “push back the trial as much as possible so Donald can run for re-elected as possible,” she added.

Accepting The Unacceptable: “We continue to follow norms and traditions not because they aid in the running of a healthy, democratic, system but because, even when they are unhealthy and undemocratic, that's just the way it's always been so what are we going to do about it,” Mary Trump said.

“No matter how corrupt the Supreme Court might be, apparently there is just no way to institute any kind of ethics reform,” Mary Trump said.

She also said politicians are unwilling to make the system “more fair, more functional and more equitable.” To make her case, she noted that Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) had placed a hold on all military promotions because he disagrees with the Pentagon policy that allows service women to travel in order to receive healthcare if they are stationed in states that deny abortion services.

Tuberville is abusing the “Senate hold,” an arcane parliamentary procedure, she alleged.

“This one unworthy man has been allowed to undermine American national security at a time when two wars—between Ukraine and Russia and Israel and Hamas—are being fought with great consequence to democracy in general and American foreign policy in particular,” Mary Trump said.
