Mary Trump - The Racist Protector of Rapists
I didnt make a mistake. Sound like anybody you know? Thats what Donald said when pressed by reporters about his posting an AI-generated video that depicted former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle as apes. Any sentient human in America should know that that racist trope hearkens back to the days of the slave trade.
I didnt make a mistake.
About eight years ago, I was visiting my Aunt Maryanne, Donalds oldest sister, at her apartment on the Upper East Side and she told me something about my grandfather, Fred Trump, I hadnt known. Apparently, he never took responsibility for his mistakes. Whenever anything went wrong, he found somebody else to blame. This is something he passed on to Donald.
Weve seen this pattern time and again. Donald does something outrageous or ill-advised, then he refuses to admit he was wrong, refuses to course-correct, refuses to take responsibility. When he gets called out, he looks for a scapegoat to throw under the bus to deflect blame. When his underlings come out in full force to defend him, no matter how egregious his behavior, he doubles down.
