Trump’s niece, Mary Trump, has been very vocal in her criticisms of her uncle. In 2020, she published a memoir about him and their family titled ‘Too Much and Never Enough’.
Mary is the daughter of Trump’s late elder brother, Fred Trump Jr, who died from a heart attack in 1981.
Following the businessman’s return to The White House for his second term, Mary described the event on her social media as ‘uniquely dangerous times’, adding that the US needed to ‘start showing up in different ways from what we might be used to’ (via Newsweek).
She also revealed that her fears in the run-up to the 2020 election, which saw Trump lose against Joe Biden, were: “What happens if Donald gets a second shot at the presidency?”
Now that such an event has happened, she argued in a recent interview with The Telegraph that people need to be wary of his intentions as President as the psychologist shared her belief that not only will Trump opt for another term in the White House, but that he will do so ‘for life’.
Trump has previously teased the idea of staying in power for a third term despite this would go against what it says in the 22nd Amendment, which staunchly prohibits a president from running for more than two terms in office.
Earlier this year, he remarked that there were ‘loopholes’ that could see him stay in office, and when further asked about this by reporters, he said: “I’d rather not discuss that now, but as you know, there are some loopholes that have been discussed that are well known.
“But I don’t believe in loopholes. I don’t believe in using loopholes.”
Speaking on the possibility of her uncle running for a third term, Mary said: “That’s what Donald certainly has in mind. It’s not about whether or not he’ll run. It’s about whether or not he’ll leave. It’s more likely that he’ll just say, ‘I’m president for life and I’m not going anywhere’. And he’ll challenge people to get rid of him.
