Donald Trump’s niece, Mary Trump, has openly criticized her uncle throughout his presidency. On her YouTube channel, she is now warning people about one trait she believes could have serious consequences.
Mary Trump, the daughter of Trump’s older brother, Fred Trump Jr., who died in 1981, has been an outspoken critic of her uncle for years. She even published a memoir about Donald and the rest of the Trump family titled Too Much and Never Enough.
Mary, who is a psychologist, recently spoke on her YouTube channel about Donald Trump’s personality and issued a warning about the problems she believes it may cause for the rest of the world.
“Nobody’s stopping him. But what he’s doing is what weak people do. It’s also what Donald has always done. He pushes the envelope to see what he can get away with,” she said, according to Tyla.
“When nobody stops him, he pushes the envelope further and gets away with more. When somebody finally does stop him, he doesn’t course‑correct like a mature human being. He doesn’t come up with a different strategy.”
“It’s extremely dangerous”
Mary described Trump’s tendency to “double down” as extremely “dangerous.”
“No, he doubles down. He quadruples down. It’s extremely dangerous behavior, especially when we’re talking about somebody who has the power to bring this world to the brink of economic chaos and a war nobody but him wants.
“But it’s a pattern we’ve seen again and again throughout his life and throughout his political career. The person who initially stands up to him eventually backs down. That gives him more room, more power, more oxygen.”
She added that whenever someone backs down from Trump, it “emboldens” him even further.
“To be fair, though, those moments are rare. Rarely has somebody stood up and said no in a way that sticks. But things may finally be shifting.”
