President Donald Trump’s lesbian niece, Mary Trump, recently noted that his most loyal and sycophantic high-profile supporters — like Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Candace Owens, and Megyn Kelly — are starting to question his fitness to lead the country.

But while Mary Trump hopes that their opposition to Donald Trump signals the tipping point toward ending his presidency, she also believes his supporters shouldn’t have their bigoted views pardoned just because they oppose him now — especially since his leadership has literally helped kill hundreds of thousands of people.

Donald Trump isn’t obsessed with trans issues. He’s obsessed with applause.

In a recent newsletter, Mary Trump noted that several massively popular MAGA broadcasters have recently begun criticizing the president’s “increasing instability and lack of judgment,” which suggests to her that “they haven’t been paying very close attention over the last several decades.”

Homophobic former Fox News host Tucker Carlson recently said, “People who are in direct contact with the president need to say, ‘No, I’ll resign. I’ll do whatever I can do legally to stop this because this is insane. And if given the order, I’m not carrying it out,’” when discussing the president’s genocidal threats against Iran.

White supremacist Nick Fuentes recently said, “The antichrist is president. The red heifer has been born. We are at war with Iran. The Strait of Hormuz is closed,” referring to the Iranian waterway that has been choked off since the start of Donald Trump’s illegal war in Iran, sending food and fuel costs skyrocketing.

Racist former Fox News broadcaster Megyn Kelly recently said, “I don’t know about you, but I am sick of this s**t. I’m sick of it. Can’t he just behave like a normal human?” after he issued unhinged tweets threatening genocide.

Transphobic conspiracy theorist Candace Owens said, “The 25^th Amendment needs to be invoked. He is a genocidal lunatic. Our Congress and military need to intervene. We are beyond madness.” The 25th Amendment allows the vice president, a majority of the president’s Cabinet, and Congress to forcibly remove the president by declaring him disabled

Mary Trump noted that each of these broadcasters have “enormous followings,” writing, “Tens of millions of people are still influenced by the likes of [podcaster Joe] Rogan and Carlson and Owens; if they can open some eyes, that’s a good thing.”

“[It] may embolden other Republicans who’ve been questioning Donald’s judgment behind the scenes for years now… [and chip] away at the myth that Donald is forever impervious to negative publicity, invulnerable to criticism, and incapable of being held accountable,” she added.

However, she continued, “We cannot allow any of [Trump’s MAGA critics] to be rehabilitated or given credit for saying the right thing. They are the worst of us — racists, Christian Nationalists, fascists — most of whom have been spreading hatred, bigotry, and propaganda long before Donald won the 2016 election.”

Mary Trump says this is especially important considering that plenty of the president’s “evil and mad” actions have killed hundreds of thousands since his first term, including his mismanagement of the COVID epidemic, his illegal dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), his illegal extrajudicial military attacks on boats in the Caribbean Sea, and his extrajudicial killing of U.S. citizens and migrants under the pretense of immigration control.

“The high-profile loyalists who cheered Donald on while he was committing all of those horrors can spare me their outrage,” she wrote. In the past, she has called the president “deeply unhealthy” and said he has a pathetic need for others’ approval.
