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

Mary Trump told her anti-Trump fanbase in a New Year’s Day Q&A not to overreact ahead of President-elect Donald Trump coming back into office. 

The niece who is not on good terms with her famous uncle has authored three books about him, including the widely popular Too Much and Never Enough released in 2020.

During a one-hour session on X, she confessed to being overly involved in the past year and expressed the need to find a better way to prevent potential distressing situations.

Reflecting on her experiences, she mentioned, “I internalized a lot of what transpired this year, and it had a negative impact on me. How can we stay attentive without becoming overwhelmed?” pondered the psychologist.

She encouraged other anti-Trumpers not to spiral.

‘I don’t know if this is going to work for everybody but definitely 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 not – because otherwise it’s brutal … when everything feels like a blow.’ 

‘I don’t have to know everything all the time,’ she noted, advising Americans ‘don’t make all of this your life.’ 

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

‘So just as an example, this had been going on for years: Donald would post something on Twitter or Truth Social or wherever that was absolutely insane. And people – the response would be: “Finally, he’s losing his mind and it’s over because he’s crazy.” And you know, that happened for eight years,’ she said. 

‘I’m not saying he’s not losing his mind, but he kept getting propped up so it didn’t end up mattering,’ she said as an aside. 

‘Or he would say or do something legitimately horrible and we would overreact and we would think it’s the end of the world,’ she continued. ‘So let’s take a breathe,’ the psychologist advised. 

During the Q&A she still had plenty of terrible things to say about Trump and his allies. 

She talked about how her uncle ‘failed up so spectacularly’ and mocked him for being ‘unemployed for the last four years.’ 

‘Unless you count running for office as a job,’ she chuckled. ‘He hasn’t done anything for four years.’ 

‘You could argue that he didn’t do anything when he was in the White House the first time around except f*** everything up,’ she added.  

She predicted that he would spend most of his second term based in Mar-a-Lago, where he’s been living since leaving the White House in 2021.

‘He’s literally going to spend the next four years raiding the treasury,’ Mary said. 

He would do this, she suggested, by charging everyone from the Secret Service to Cabinet members to stay on the Mar-a-Lago property where they’ll have to ‘pay for the probably subpar country club food.’  

‘He’ll make obscene amounts of money off the backs of the American people,’ she claimed. 

Currently Elon Musk is renting the $2,000 a night cottage on the Palm Beach property. 

She suggested Musk is paying to stay at the Florida beachfront club in order to be the most important person in the president-elect’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 of Musk. 

When asked which Cabinet member Trump would fire first, the niece first guessed Marco Rubio, the incoming secretary of State, before backtracking because the Florida senator, she said, was just as much of a ‘sycophant’ as everyone else. 

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

‘He’s shown himself to be completely pliant,’ Mary said. ‘He’s one of those guys like Lindsey Graham, there’s gotta be some dirt on him, there’s just gotta be,’ she said. 

Graham is also a previously critical 2016 primary rival-turned-ally. 

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

She called Tom Homan, Trump’s choice for ‘border czar,’ a ‘vicious, vicious thug.’

‘I can’t understand the depths of these people’s depravity,’ she commented more widely on the MAGA faithful’s anti-immigrant sentiment. 

Trump’s niece also chimed in on the president-elect pushing that the U.S. should buy Greenland and take back the Panama Canal zone – insulting his base in the process.

She said the expansionist talk is to ‘normalize the concept for the idiots who follow him – sorry if that seems rude – but I kind of 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 that’s what I think is happening,’ she guessed.

Trump has said he wants a prompt end to the war on Ukraine – which suggests some of Russia’s territorial gains could stick. 

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

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

Mary pushed that the Carter family should uninvite him. 

‘I sincrely hope that they tell him not to come. That’s the game that we need to be playing in this country right now, as Democrats,’ she said. ‘Tell him he’s a disgrace, we don’t want him there.’
