Why on earth can educated & otherwise-intelligent people in the U.S. not see DT for his horribleness who & what he is? I’m in northern Calif. For many of us it’s impossible not to see and hear it daily. Yet many of my old white educated affluent successful neighbors still heartily support him. (Yes I’m old & white too.) What will it take for them to ever(?) see it? Ever? I’m beginning to think there’s no low bar. It’s distressing and I’m one of the fortunate ones. Every day my husband and I bemoan this continued unbelievable horror wondering when it will ever stop. Yes we donate, vote, protest.

"The best way to think about Donald is that he is both a terrified little boy and a black hole of need. That void exists because nobody ever really loved him." I'm really tired of reading these words. You've written them, Mary, as explanation for his outrageous behavior, many times. They invoke no sympathy from me. I frankly do not care. He's not the only one on this earth who had deficient parents. He had a bottomless source of financial rescuing by his father, something that solved all problems that he created. Now we are left to hold the bag as he makes the kind of dumbass decisions that have marked his life.

Thank you for the conversation, with Ruth Ben-Ghiat, she is certainly one of the smartest ladies about authoritarianism. Everyday someone is dying in ice custody and four farmers here have taken their lives because of being denied help from our government. It’s been sad in this town, I live in people had more hopeful looks on their faces when Biden was , President business have began to close. All this money from taxpayers is being spent inappropriately. If you like honesty and integrity in media please subscribe to @Mary Trump Media.

It must have been live at some point

Please don't call it live when it's not live. I often lack the time to read, but I can listen to actual live substacks while doing other things. It's disappointing to open something billed as live when I already know I don't have time to read it.

Vicki, you can find Mary on youtube. Her programs may not be live but you can still enjoy them.
