This is so powerful, so well thought out, you should have a TV show on one of the major networks. Everyone needs to hear what you know and comprehend about this man.

I am so grateful I learned about you. You make sense of all the crap that’s going on. It’s breath taking to understand the gall of his actions.

What can we do?

Yes, I thank Mary every day! But, at the same time, I am so worried about her. I hope she has security watching her every day!

In another post, I mentioned, that we the people should have another protest. This one is very different from the last one. How about we all refuse to pay income tax! Because, really, what are our taxes being used for. It's not for the American people, who work hard for every dollar they earn. No, it's for demolishing the East Wing, Private Jets, money to Argentina when our own cattle ranchers are suffering. He has made himself rich off our backs! I, myself, am sick and tired of his grifting! We not to stop it, before it gets so much worse!

You are absolutely right. You left out the stunt he is pulling with the Quatar airplane bombers he’s letting build an airport and school, I think it’s Utah. That is the horror of horrors. He didn’t learn from the school in Florida whose students flew planes into the Empire State Building plus a whole lot of other damage.

I am for relieving of their responsibilities every single Republican man in Congress for their stupidity and gross negligence in letting him get this far. They sat on their fat asses and approved all his appointments who in turn pledged alliance to him. Women would not have done that. Women would not be afraid of his criticisms.

I love men yet they mostly cower down to him.

My opinion.

It seems there is no hope - I am so surprised that Mary has not had an all-out attack on her as he does to others. Is it because she is family? A part of the blood-line? Perhaps that is it. Yet, I am amazed. There is so much anger and hatred generated - I worry about anyone who criticizes his actions publically.

Yes. There is hope. Mary probably has security. I think she ha already had troubles. Like a true patriot she keeps going and we are all so blessed with her insights and understandings.

Our hope is that one morning we will wake up and learn he is gone in the meantime we just need to call all the Senators, Representatives, optically SCOTUS We need to beg them to impeach him. He is a man drunk with his own power and wants more. Most of SCOTUS needs to go. John Roberts is a poor misguided soul.

Our Knight in Shining Armor will show up and we will be able to worry about something else. Be so relieved when this is over.

Paraphrasing Don Corleone in The Godfather, ""I am doing you a favor today. Someday in the future, I may ask you to do a favor for me which you WILL do for me, Copeche? " (Or else.) THAT is how one does business with Don Donnie, our mob-boss-in-chief-these days. Salut!

Donald J. Trump has no balls. Ipso facto, he doesn't need a ballroom.

Or he does need it, because someone told him you can find balls in ballrooms, and he believed them.

Also, this ballroom is another way to distract us from insisting he release the Epstein files.

BTW, when Hitler realized he was losing the war, what did he do? Moved into his bunker in Berlin. That was his last move. And we know Donald is a fan.

Hitler also built an arc and put his name on it. Project 2025 is following Hitlers playbook.

He’s planning on killing more Americans than Hitler killed Jews. He will kill us through diseases so get caught up now with vaccines. He also is planning to create a famine, that has begun. His number 1 goal is to become a trillionaire by stealing all our money. Nazi republicans won’t do or say a damn thing to stop this monster. We must vote the whole party out! 💙🔷💙🔷💙🔷

He and RFK Jr. don’t care if many of us are uninsured and unable to afford medications which keep our illnesses in check. They have decided to oppose vaccines for the public (they will of course get vaccines themselves, and they don’t care about essential medical research NIH does to find better treatments for disease. The cruelty to ordinary people in depriving them of SNAP, Medicare, Medicaid and Social security along with the medical neglect and the open desire of Trump to impose racist policies on the nation are among the things which irk me the most. There are a lot of us who don’t want to see Juan Crow and Jim Crow even though it may not personally affect us.

Yes. Hitler had a 12-point plan for winning an election & taking over a country. Donald has hit every one. Now he's approaching the only suggestion he didn't follow--yet--which is found in Mein Kampf.

I appreciate the attitude that virtually glares in your remarks, like the red eyes on my Joe Biden mug when it’s heated.

I think I instinctively disliked and distrusted your (pauses to spit on the floor) uncle from the first time I heard or read his name. My growing up was not blighted by him as was yours, but my senior years don’t seem very promising, even if we can get rid of him and his miserable sycophants and gather back enough of what they have been destroying, to keep limping forward.

I got so involved in typing that on my phone with one finger that I can’t remember what I might have been going to say next. Blame the cats that insist I sit/lie in the recliner as much as possible so they can be on their favorite bed. There are four of them. Guess who usually wins.

Keep up the good work and especially the attitude! On behalf of J.D.’s infamous Childless Cat Ladies everywhere, we appreciate it and you.

Shame on all of them. We need a functional Congress. He shouldn't be getting away with this. Hope everyone with a moral compass wakes up and we win the next four or five elections. Force the Republicans to reform and stop with this extremism. We need to force them be a proper opposition party open to compromise and working with Democrats.

VOTE! The Democrats and RESPESCTABLE Republicans (of which there are still a few) far outnumber the maggots. We need to have a vote turnout that will truly show our numbers. If gerrymandering makes it more difficult for some to vote, organize ride-share and volunteer shuttle services to get people to the polls. Make the vote results show the true feeling of the country - 75% D, 20% r, sounds about right.

Thank you, Mary Trump, for speaking out against the atrocities Donald Trump is committing day after day! We can only hope that disillusioned people will listen and resist catering to his lunacy and grandiosity!

Keep it up - more people need to awaken!

California’s strong reaction and Trump’s reversal just proves that he’s like any other bully. More people need to stand their ground with him and stop pussyfooting around him. That is exactly how to stop his infantile actions. Take advantage of his cowardice; it’s a front. But only California has done this.

Mary, I learned long ago all bullies are cowards once confronted. I was married in the 80’s to a violent, control freak bully who beat me. When I was packing my belongings he was trying again to bully me in front of my male friends I stood up got into his face and he cowered in the fetal position. I should’ve done that years earlier. I know what a coward your uncle is. He’s scared of his own shadow. A symptom of Alzheimer’s is paranoia.

Mary, do you think his AI revenge fantasy of literally shitting on the New York No Kings protest is connected at all with the trauma of having your father pour mashed potato over him when he was seven? (He hasn't grown emotionally since.)

One of the fantasies that helps keep me from screaming every day, after I've said, "What fresh hell is this," is me....somehow sneaking up behind him and dumping a bowl of mashed potatoes on his head. I'd probably be shot, but I'm old and dying anyway, so I think it would be worth it. Not injurious, but totally humiliating.

The personal behavior of D.Trump should be of no interest to anyone other than his immediate family and Doctors.

The Heritage Foundation, 2025 and PNAC are intent on promoting predatory capitalism.

This is what to take note of :

who gets what , how do they do it and how to stop them...

His personal behaviour absolutely should be of great interest to everyone affected by it, namely everyone.

Destroying the East Wing, murdering Caribbean fishermen, sucking up to Putin, fantasising about shitting on the American people, are all indicative of how he proposes to carry on his presidency.

I beg to differ. His behavior is relevant to his fitness for office which strongly indicate he is unfit.

Before he was president he tried to do the same thing to the Historic Landmark Boardwalk at Jones Beach State Park. He destroyed the golf course there by digging a big hole before anybody realized he was going to build a casino-like structure in a public park where he would charge $400/plate at the restaurant. There was corruption at all levels. He never got the required permits or public hearings, got special deal tax breaks, etc. but the people found out and kicked him out, and Hurricane Sandy sealed the deal.
