Mary Trump, a vocal critic of her uncle, former President Donald Trump, expressed her astonishment at recent polling data indicating a tight race between her uncle and President Joe Biden. Describing her disbelief at the closely contested numbers, she highlighted the disturbing implications of this close competition, especially considering the controversial nature of her uncle’s actions and character.
In a podcast appearance on the I’ve Had It podcast, hosted by Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan, Mary Trump underscored her frustration with the polling results, emphasizing the gravity of the situation. In response to a question about what she’s had enough of, she expressed her exasperation with the unsettling proximity of the poll numbers between the two contenders.
She drew attention to the stark contrast between the concerns about Biden’s age and her uncle’s deeply problematic actions and ideologies. Trump unapologetically labeled her uncle as a “racist, homophobic, anti-American traitor who tried to steal the election,” highlighting his advanced age as just one of the many problematic aspects. The discussion delved further into the disturbing aspects of her uncle’s character, with reference to the astonishing number of felonies he’s been charged with, which, according to her, didn’t even make the comprehensive list of his transgressions.
The hosts of the podcast, Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan, shared Mary Trump’s concerns, highlighting the subtle prevalence of pro-Trump sentiments in certain regions. They painted a picture of a nuanced political landscape, acknowledging the contrasting dynamics between urban and suburban areas, where the influence of Trump’s ideology appears to hold sway in some segments.
JENNIFER WELCH: Mary, we want to ask you today, what have you had it with.
MARY TRUMP: Where to start? I think my answer changes every time I look at the news. But today I read a poll or I read an article about a poll showing the Donald and Biden are neck and neck. And I know it’s early days. I know that that doesn’t necessarily mean anything.
But to me, that is a sign of how far we’ve fallen. Right. You know, you hear about Biden’s age. Well, Biden’s old. Okay, well, Donald Trump is a racist, homophobic, anti-American traitor who tried to steal the election and, by the way is also old!
JENNIFER WELCH: Right. And charged with 91 felonies, right?
MARY TRUMP: Yeah, I know. I see? That didn’t even make my list!
ANGIE “PUMPS” SULLIVAN: Right?
JENNIFER WELCH: . I mean. I agree with you. It’s really alarming. We live in a red state. We live in Oklahoma City. But in the city it’s purple. So I don’t really see like this overt Trumpism. But if you get a little bit outside and into the suburbs, I’m like, Oh shit, there they are in there for real.
Mary Trump’s candid expression of concern about the political climate serves as a stark reminder of the complex sociopolitical landscape in the United States, where polarizing figures can continue to command substantial support despite contentious actions and ideologies.
