Mary Trump, Donald Trump’s estranged niece and longtime critic, said the 2024 Republican candidates were too scared of their uncle’s staunch supporters to take on him head-on — but urged them to do so anyway.
“If they were serious people, they would understand that they have a great opportunity to take down Donald without having to disagree with him politically,” she told MSNBC’s Katie Phang. “Just call him what he is: he’s a loser. He keeps losing. He has never legally won anything in his life. He’s a thin-skinned baby with nothing to offer but white grudges.”
She even offered a trick a candidate could perform at a debate: show up with a bowl of mashed potatoes.
“That was his very first experience of humiliation when he acted like a total brat before my grandmother put dinner on the table,” she said. “To shut him up and stop him from tormenting his little brother Robert, my dad took a bowl of mashed potatoes and threw them on Donald’s head.”
She added, “He hates this story.”
