has no principles

Trump’s Sister Says He Has ‘No Principles’ on Secret Audio
August 22, 2020 at 8:15 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 84 Comments

Mary Trump revealed to the Washington Post that she had surreptitiously taped 15 hours of face-to-face conversations with President Trump’s sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, in 2018 and 2019.

She gave them to the newspaper.

One exchange was recorded after Barry heard her her brother talk about separating migrant children from their parents at the border.

Said Barry: “All he wants to do is appeal to his base. He has no principles. None. None. And his base, I mean my God, if you were a religious person, you want to help people. Not do this.”


She continued: “His goddamned tweet and lying, oh my God. I’m talking too freely, but you know. The change of stories. The lack of preparation. The lying. Holy shit.”

What a cluster that family is.

I'm glad for Mary speaking out, though. She saw the effects on her family & now he is trying the same thing with our country!

She's traumatized and has really done some work on her own mind/mental state to try to get things straightened out.

Barr could try to go after Maryanne, but it would drag Donald into it, too.

Plus, if you piss off Maryanne, she's liable to reveal much more on Donald that the NY State prosecutors would just love.

That family's loyalty is not born out of love for one another, but for their self-preservation and greed only.

but I believe she got her Federal Judgeship at the behest of Roy Cohn, who had monstrous ties to Donny (until Cohn was diagnosed with AIDS and dying, then Donny forgot he ever knew him). If it was Donny who asked Cohn to get her the judgeship........ but why else would Cohn do it?
