I am watching the Mary Trump interview with Cuomo, first time I have seen any extended interview

Sorry, was busy the last couple of days.

That being said, I read many posts about her on DU, often very critical.

She comes across as knowledgeable, introspective, intelligent, along with many other positive attributes.

So that being said, for those critiquing her, .... I will assume you are a troll or the biggest fucking chicken little in the world. For the former, you are pathetic, for the latter, quit fucking listening to rw talking points and fucking stand up to those ignorant people tearing her down.

And yes I AM FUCKING PISSED OFF!!! But had I formed my opinion based upon DU posts, I would have figured she was deeply flawed person.

So they complain about how people come across. They want drama, they want to be entertained.

She doesn’t dodge the motive questions. She acknowledges that “I am a Trump,” so of course money is at the root of all controversy.

Above average in honesty. Who can be 100 per cent honest when assessing self and family?

Ever notice how women in general get their "credibility" questioned more than men?

Focused on he style rather than what she was saying.

in a very difficult personal situation. It’s not intended as a blockbuster or an act of revenge. The book helps Americans think about how our current national catastrophe came about.

When the DNA dice were rolled, she somehow managed to avoid the "bad seed" material that is manifest in most of the Trump clan.

succinct and rightly concerned about the county, in the hands of her idiot uncle.

Saw her on Rachel then today with Cuomo. She comes across as knowledgeable, smart, and determined to stop her insane tyrant Uncle from doing more, maybe long standing damage.

The only weird thing is she looked totally different tonight from the night before. I mean like a different woman. Her mannerisms and speech were the same though.

Makeup and better lighting perhaps? She also seemed more relaxed. I agree, she is very smart and is totally credible.
