Mary Trump 'Blown Away' By NYT Report Exposing Family Tax Schemes | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
Cheating seems to be a way of life for some people.
@Andre van Kammen… thanks – Ariki Royal = Russian bot
@Ariki Royal Let’s pretend it’s true. So what? Now it’s okay? Door’s wide open now so no one has to be held accountable? Is that what you tell your kids? Hey, if your friend did it, that makes it okay for you to do it. Is that what you tell them? Or did you just post it to voice your opinion about Hillary and Joe?
Yes. Rich people.
Especially Trump!
Fake it 2 they make it!!🤷♀️💯😂🤞😂
Russian pee tape.
Russian-bank loans.
Russian money laundering.
And you wonder why t’rump can’t say a single bad word against Putin. 🤔😆😅😂🤣
@Eleanor Dixon trump is afraid of putin. He gives him a very gentle handshake , bows his head and never says anything bad about russia.
I am dumbfounded that the American political and legal system is so weak to allow such a Buffon to prevail over their country and he will most likely walk away with the whole cookie jar under melanias arms.
Incest tapes….
Dictatorboy Trump can’t get a 1m dollar loan in the US. He’s that toxic. Where’s does his money come from? 🇺🇸🇨🇳🇷🇺
I am Valerie Putin! and I endorse Ro G s statement
Trump in Diapers, playing Water sports, of the Golden Kind, with 15 year olds from Gorky Park !! MSNBC could not have even made it up !!
No smoke without Fire,,,, Wonder what my FSB peeps paid those Gorky Park kids ??
Wow, what a surprise. She looks trumpish, but talks intelligently!
fusion fan I have to agree with you, I think she really believes she is trying to save her country and not herself which is very untrump like behaviour.
A C i see Barron in a way…
She has a PhD, of course she’s brilliant compare to donald duck
Rense Lange She is not stuffed with plastic like Trump’s wives and children. Educated and real.
@jacqui brookes my first thought when I saw Mary was the resemblance between Mary and Baron is striking…
The tRump family would steal Christ off the cross then come back for the nails.
DEADSET EVIL,,,THE TRUMP CARTEL,,,BIGGEST CRIMINAL FAMILY IN THE WORLD
Trumps would be jealous of Jesus and his followers
And borrow money from Russia to do it. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@Abe Lincoln proof?
@Moniqu Marshall Do you have a salient point here, or you just running off at the mouth ???
Just when you think Trump couldn’t get any lower, he shows he has no lower limits. Yesterday’s low is “never enough” to a dangerous sociopath.
Project and reflect
@Reichert Zetopan yes just ask Mary and madcow.. where is pyso joe
@zerushddai oh, because she says something you like hearing she gets a pass? I smell a hack and it’s coming from you.
Are you here refering to child molester communist democrats Burning, Looting and Murdering?
💯💯🗣
Donald Trump, the most corrupt politician in American history.
MAGA – MOSCOW AGENTS GOVERNING AMERICA .
@Pedophile Democrats deplatform spanish imigrants Wow!… You still haven’t caught on, utterly clueless.
@tom hefner Democrats let out hard core criminals from prison and arrest christians to replace them instead.
But democrats are NOT Stalinists.
@james That is so kind. I am doing just fine. In 3 months, this will all be just a bad memory and the Trumpanzees will go back under their rocks.
@james, Typical Q. I hope someday you’ll have a chance to flee from the cult!
Pascal Flamme, you’re stuck on stupid. Tin foil hat getting too tight! Q
I’m not voting for anyone that suggest injecting disinfectant, a 5 year old knows better.
I’m not voting for anyone who supports lgbtq propaganda eugenics science that children are born LGT, thereby placing them in danger all in the name of politics.
Not what he said but what you heard.
Release The Karen “And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs.” Please show me where I heard it wrong.
@0 1 did you take your meds today or maybe you doubled up on accident. You didn’t inject bleach did you? you need help im just not sure what kind.
Thats not what he said, you should not comment
Let’s crush this “grifter” before, during or after the election.. He should not be allowed to profit from his time in government!.. It’s so distasteful!..
@Damir Kuzmicich tRump and his GOP + his administration sycophants
Let’s see the perp walk down Pennsylvania Avenue
Somebody has got to have audio of Trump saying the N word. Michael Cohen should review his tapes.
TOO LATE! He has already LOOTED our Treasury for his Golf trips, putting foreigners up in his hotels and the PPP he gave to himself, his family, and his Cronies!!! I said the day he was elected he would Rob Us Blind – and I was RIGHT!
@Damir Kuzmicich we were warned by Hillary.
She is way smarter than Trump!!!
@David Simpson TRUE 😉👍…it would never be DULL!!!🎉🎇🎆🎊🍻🎈🎂🎶💞😘
my doorknob is smarter than Trump !
@Abby Gayle

We’ll have to wait till 2024, it’s weird to even say those numbers, dang, I’m still kicking!!
😷🇺🇲🥁🎆🧨👀 You and I could sure do a lot better than somebody else that’s been in there for close to four years.🤮😂🤣😇
Besides, this is America and we can do it if we want to, we can. 🇺🇸🙏😊

That’s right 🤞💯😂😂
the trump family is what they would call a cartel in mexico

Current leaders of BLM have admitted that they are *_Trained marxists._*
But BLM is *_NOT_* a communist organization.
More like the Misfits in Gem and the Holograms!
Even his family is turning against him. FOX should interview her; they have begun to turn against him, too. This is gonna be fun.
Watching this EVIL man go down is exactly what he deserves; he should take his children & wife with him.
Fox is barely dipping in their toe…. they don’t have the stones to question anything Mein Fücküp does. Interviewing Mary, they would be admitting her validity. I thought Fox was pretty bad when Obama was in office, them sticking up for and excusing everything Trump does is sickening. 😩
Not the entire family, just her cause Donnie was horrible to her father.
@jaymtl79 She is explaining why he was horrible to her father. She said her aunt was dismissed from the bench because of tax related issues and how it affected her. She spoke a lot about the grandfather. She says her grandmother had very little to do with her sons upbringing. She spoke of her own experience as well.
I wish, too, but it isn’t going to happen. That’s Fox News! People, STOP watching Fox News!!!
Michael Cohen said, in 2016, that Trump was “a racist, a cheat, and a conman”. It was quite clear at the time if you looked.
He will change, lol or even better, “I can change him.”
@Nothing At all Who else besides Jared Kushner?
@Cubs MLB Perfect Inning Gaming don’t forget that he also wrote a article on the New York Times that he also wanted the death penalty on black and Latino teens for a crime they didn’t commit
@Trebor Mapp Yes indeed! You got that right! How anyone could forget that one I never know. Good comment!
@Natty Bumppo ok traitor
Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton said, “When they go low, we go high”. We just were unaware how low the Trump family could go. Now we see.
What a bunch of crooks!
Speaking for myself, I think they are a bunch of crooks.
The only ones that care about this story are democrats And never trumpers. 😂😂😂 You think Republican that support him don’t know the Dude is a con?!!!! Of course they do. But he gives them what they want in terms of policy. What do you expect him Republicans to do, elect someone with better financials like Joe but don’t expect to support their policies?!!! Yeah right 😂😂😂😂😂!!!!
Nobody was prepared for how super low trump can go. We are people of a certain standard of moral values not aware how criminals think and act. Now when it’s on display we are gobsmacked and up to a certain point helpless. Hard to believe that a person is so without empathy having such a lack of social responsibility like trump. And this man shall be a leader whom we trust??? No way!!!
Well said!!!🤞❤💯
Donald tRump is using the Government for personal benefit. Mary Trump is THE ONLY trump I respect.
He will spend the rest of his life in courts
From you mouth to God’s ear!
I want to see Donald Trump homeless, and struggling to survive in the gutter. That’s what he deserves.

“A friend of mine was in Scotland recently. He got very, very sick. They took him by ambulance and he was there for four days.

I mean we could have a great system in this country.”

I like her.”

@earthwings9 I would point out that trump’s “foundation” was forced to be closed by the govt after levying a 2 million fine for misusing the “foundation” https://apnews.com/7b8d0f5ce9cb4cadad948c2c414afd57
@earthwings9 Does that include Trump?????
Fantastic
I would like to make one additional fact to your list.
When Grandfather tried to move the family back to Germany. He was denied enter into the country.
Trump was the first guy in the history of organized crime to get the Justice Department to work for him. So he has that going for him.
@Ginger Nightmare Yes, I have heard that and I certainly hope that is the case. But you never know in politics We shall have to wait and see. As James Carville has pointed out, he thinks Chump will resign after Nov/20 and let Dense take over and engineer pardons for Chump, his family, and many political cronies. If such happens we may well get into an extended legal and political free for all that will last for a considerable time. Noted legal scholar and retired prosecutor, Glen Kirschner, has opined that presidential pardons can be voided and nullified because such is not mentioned or prohibited in the constitution. And as such pardon nullification may well be done for the first time in history and litigated to the Supreme Court to establish new legal and constitutional precedent. I personally expect a very very nasty and prolonged legal and political fight somewhat along these lines after Nov/20. Chump will stop at nothing to attempt to protect himself and his cronies, so I do expect the worst from him. But the real question is whether or not Biden has the courage and political will to follow through and stay the course against Chump in the future. Only time will tell, but I certainly hope that he does. I am just not that confident that he actually will. But the saving grace may well be the SDNY and their criminal investigation of Chump. They will proceed against Chump with their state investigation and potential criminal charges regardless of what happens with Biden, pardons, or anything else at the national/federal level. Chump is in grave danger with SDNY and so may many of his cronies as well.
@Ginger NightmareReally? Thanks for clearing up who Don Corleone was. Al Capone had a few corrupt judges working for him. Trump has the whole Justice Department. Let’s not tarnish Capone’s name by comparing him to Trump.
@Corey HamCool. I want to trust Biden on this, even though.. back in Feb. Everyone was wondering why Trump attacked Biden so. The reason is Biden can get rich Republicans to vote for him. Taxes for the rich will not go up. there will be no college debt forgiveness.. and still not a proper Medicare for all. Biden has committed to appointing young progressives. So you are saying Trump will resign, right before the election, and set up Pence. It is interesting. Trump is too much of a sociopath to even consider stepping down. I think the Trump criminal family will be the first ever to not attend.. The Inauguration. Like the Bin Laden’s .. off to Saudi Arabia. Already got the Trump hotel built there.
@hvymettle Trump was the first guy in the history of organized crime to get the Justice Department to work for him. You do remember Bill Barr shooting off the hip for Reagan in the Iran/Contra.
@Ginger Nightmare It is all speculation as to how this will play out after Biden gets elected. I just read a lot about it and report and comment on what i hear and read. Nobody really knows how this will all play out, and certainly not me. But I am pretty confident that Chump will use any means he can to cause chaos and attempt to protect himself and his cronies. He has done that his whole life and his whole term in office, so I doubt he will change now. And secondly, the democrats have always appointed professional and competent people when they were in office. And I would expect they would do the same again. What is very uncertain is whether or not they will actually be able to make any substantive change. Personally I doubt it, since i do not see them proposing “visionary” changes that deal with the major structural issues facing the country. Rather they are nibbling around the edges with minor proposals. But that is the political system in modern politics due to many factors … primarily big money and vested interests. I want a FDR type visionary who will tackle visionary and major structural issues. Unfortunately there is no politician I am aware of anywhere close to that. So Biden or anyone else for that matter will be a huge improvement over Chump and at least a step in the right direction.
*For everything Trump has done to our nation as President, most definitely he should be prosecuted, and lose everything he has from decades of wrong doing, and made an example, so that We can restore the rule of Law, and go forward as a Nation, and end all this criminality on both sides of the aisle, and have a Just nation for the People !*
Donald will have a lot to answer for once he’s not playing president.
He going to go to prison for something.
I hope it will happen and prosecutors relentlessly pursue and indict Trump.
