Mary Trump: My Uncle 'Enjoyed Every Second' Of Capitol Riot

HuffPost
Lee Moran

There is “no question” in Mary Trump’s mind that her uncle President Donald Trump wanted his mob of supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol last week.

“One, he enjoyed every second of it,” Mary Trump told Sirius XM Radio host Dean Obeidallah on Friday. “He is a physical coward but he’s perfectly happy when other people commit violence on his behalf.”

“Secondly, again, he really thought that that was a way to change the results of the legitimate election,” added Mary Trump, a psychologist who last year penned a damning memoir about the president and has been one of his harshest critics ever since.

Mary Trump’s take on her uncle’s state of mind during the violence that left five people dead squares with that of Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) who has cited White House aides describing Trump as “delighted” when the Capitol was overrun.

Reports are that the insurrectionists intended to kill both VP Pence and Speaker Pelosi, those next in line for the presidency. And they only failed because of brave Capitol police going above and beyond for their jobs. Is there evidence that this was part of Trump's plan? If so, add these charges to the list when he's indicted. These are unbelievable times.

If they had gotten into an ultimate position to harm either one, there would have been MAGAT bodies piled five deep as the Secret Service, Speaker Pelosi’s detail and Capitol Police guarding those last access points cut them down. Plus there were something like 3 FBI SWAT teams, several Virginia State SWAT teams and some from Maryland rushing to the Capitol, not to mention DC Police teams that were working their way into the Capitol building and DC National Guard troops that got pulled off traffic detail and were given body armor and their assault weapons and dispatched toward the Capitol complex.

I am not saying that if given enough time, they would have not gotten their hands on congresspeople that don’t have details and harmed some of those people, that to me is the scariest part of what happened.

i know he says that. but when does he ever tell the truth? i've seen numerous pics of him w a glass of wine in his hand.

his old 2nd in command, barbara rez, dates his brain damage to the days he was hanging at studio 54. she doesnt say it, but those were his coke days. plus 'diet pills' from those same days. and jeffy's parties.
now adderall.

so, is there a drug he passes on? a drug frequently passed out for free? not a chance.

He has no conscience. He wanted high government officials murdered. That was the plan. Pence's death would have the same emotional impact on him as the death of a fly. He wanted mayhem and murder so he could prevent Biden's election confirmation and so he could declare martial law.

The bigger the pain the bigger the rush he gets out of watching it. He has no sense of shame about this and expects other people to suffer as entertainment for his pleasure. I have no doubt he was disappointed that none of his political enemies was injured or died.

He's the kind who lights a bonfire and then throws on gasoline to see how high the flames will go.

About losing power in a few days and not being able to bully and buy off those who could have prevented it all anymore. Once his power and the government checkbook is gone, tRUMP just becomes a worthless and useless piece of shit to everyone... And he has pissed off a lot of people, not to mention what will be coming out about his Presidential performance and crimes to screw even his fan club.

He will no long be able to control and bully his protection to keep quiet and do his bidding. I'm not sure if he is impeached, since he would lose ex-Presidential perks, if that means his physical protection will be taken away from him. Nonetheless, he know he will have to be extremely careful from now on and look over his shoulder for the rest of his existence like a Banana Republic dictator always would. Aside from the financial ruin and criminal charges barreling at him, no wonder he tried to pull a Benito Mussolini leading up to the election and on January 6th.

to the time of the attack held the strongest indicator of his psychological make-up in my opinion - his paran-square containing the lights (natal Sun and Moon - he wants the Full Moon to focus on him) and his natal Mars {the most angular planet in his natal chart - the favorite tone of his make-up) at the time of the attack.

I believe he was in his glory watching the attack on the Capitol building with the possibility of injury or death of Pence and Democratic party leaders.

point to one of the dates of one of the hardest aspects he will face this year - the transit of Saturn to the opposition of either his natal or progressed Pluto. There will be 8 such dates this year.

Events for him on any of those dates may be legal, lethal, or both.

In it, Kimberley Guilfoyle was seen dancing around and mugging for the camera(s). I don't know where it took place, but a guess is it was done at in the WH residence. The old troll wasn't captured, but I'm sure he was close by, because wherever a television is turned on, there he'll be, basking in every utterance of his name by someone in the media. He is a narcissistic sadist, and as such, he enjoys watching other people in peril or dying as a result of whatever mayhem he's stochastically provoked in his acolytes.

It would be like watching it with a 5-year old. "Who's that?" "What's that guy doing?" "What do you think's going to happen next?" "What did he say?"

The SS detail would probably have to really concentrate and lean hard on their training, just to not join the strangling.
