Even estranged niece Mary Trump is changing her tune on her famous uncle

Mary Trump told her anti-Trump fan base in a question-and-answer session on New Year’s Day not to overreact before President-elect Donald Trump returns to power.

The former and future president’s estranged niece has written three books about her famous uncle, including the 2020 bestseller Too much and never enough.

She admitted during the hour-long session on

“I took so much of what happened this year to heart and it had an impact on me – it wasn’t a good one,” she said. “How can we pay attention in a way that isn’t debilitating?” the psychologist mused.

She encouraged other anti-Trumpers not to spiral.

“I don’t know if this is going to work for everyone, but the way I’ve been thinking about this is I can’t take everything so personally,” she said. “I think we need to be more objective about what’s going on and what’s not going on, because otherwise it’s cruel… when everything feels like a blow.”

“I don’t need to know everything all the time,” she noted, advising Americans “don’t make all this your life.”

She talked about the cycle of outrage about Trump that she and other anti-Trumpers often found themselves in.

“So to give an example, this has been happening for years: Donald posted something on Twitter or Truth Social or wherever that was absolutely insane. And people – the answer would be, “Finally he goes crazy and it’s over because he’s crazy.” And you know, that happened for eight years,” she said.

“I’m not saying he doesn’t go crazy, but he was supported all the time so that in the end it didn’t matter anymore,” she said as an aside.

“Or he would say or do something terrible and we would overreact and we would think it’s the end of the world,” she continued. “So let’s take a breath,” the psychologist advised.

During the question-and-answer session, she still had a lot of terrible things to say about Trump and his allies.

She talked about how her uncle “went so spectacularly bankrupt” and mocked him for “being unemployed for the last four years.”

“Unless you consider running for office as a job,” she chuckled. “He hasn’t done anything in four years.”

“You could say he didn’t do anything the first time he was in the White House except ruin everything,” she added.

She predicted he would spend most of his second term at Mar-a-Lago, where he has lived since leaving the White House in 2021.

“He’s literally going to loot the treasury for the next four years,” Mary said.

He would do this, she suggested, by having everyone from the Secret Service to Cabinet members stay on the grounds of Mar-a-Lago, where they “will have to pay for the country club’s likely substandard food.”

“He will make obscene amounts of money off the backs of the American people,” she claimed.

Currently, Elon Musk rents the $2,000-per-night cottage on the Palm Beach property.

She suggested that Musk pays to stay at the Florida beach club to be the most important person in the newly elected president’s orbit.

“The last person who has Donald’s ear is the most influential person – and he is determined to remain the most influential person,” Mary surmised about Musk.

When asked which Cabinet member Trump would fire first, the niece first suspected Marco Rubio, the new secretary of state, before backtracking because the Florida senator, she said, was as much of a “sycophant” as anyone else.

Rubio and Trump were main rivals in 2016 but have mended their relationship, with the Florida senator even making the nominee’s shortlist for vice presidential picks.

“He has shown himself to be completely compliant,” Mary said. “He’s one of those guys like Lindsey Graham, there’s got to be some dirt on him, there just has to be,” she said.

Graham is also a previously crucial 2016 rival turned ally.

Mary was asked if she thought Trump would go ahead with his mass deportation plan and she suggested that logistical and economic realities could get in the way.

She called Tom Homan, Trump’s choice for “border czar,” a “cruel, cruel criminal.”

“I cannot understand the depth of depravity of these people,” she commented more broadly on the anti-immigrant sentiment of the MAGA faithful.

Trump’s niece also agreed to the president-elect’s request to have the US buy Greenland and take back the Panama Canal zone, insulting his base.

She said the expansionist talk is intended to “normalize the concept for the idiots who follow him – sorry if that seems rude – but I don’t care at this point” to “soften the ground for Russian expansionism in Western Europe .’

“Not that he knows he’s doing that, but I think this is happening,” she guessed.

Trump has said he wants to quickly end the war against Ukraine — suggesting some of Russia’s territorial gains could continue.

Mary was also asked if Trump planned to attend Democratic President Jimmy Carter’s funeral.

Trump told reporters on New Year’s Eve that he planned to travel to DC next week to attend Carter’s services.

Mary insisted that the Carter family stop inviting him.

‘I sincerely hope they tell him not to come. That’s the game we have to play right now as Democrats in this country,” she said. “Tell him he’s a disgrace, we don’t want him there.”
