BREAKING: Mary Trump exposes her Uncle Donald as a TOTAL FRAUD, reveals that he "didn't create anything" as a businessman and owes all of his supposed success to his father.
This truth bomb has MAGA pulling their hair out...
"Donald didn't create anything on his own. Before he went to Atlantic City, any project he did in Manhattan was funded by my grandfather's money, power, and political connections," said Mary Trump. "So Donald did nothing on his own."
"In fact, for the first few years of his so-called career, he was completely funded. He wasn't rich on his own merits. His chauffeur-driven limousine was paid for by my grandfather," she added. "His fancy apartment was paid for by my grandfather. So it is just laughable that anybody has ever believed that Donald was self-made or a brilliant businessman or anything."
Trump owes his entire political career to the carefully cultivated myth that he's some kind of genius businessman. Republican voters fell for his invented persona — ignoring the fact that he's actually a lifelong conman who had to repeatedly declare bankruptcy when his endeavors crashed and burned — and foisted this fool into the White House.
Meanwhile, a New York Times investigation discovered that Trump's claim that he built his fortune on the foundation of a "small loan" was a bald-faced lie. In reality, his father used a series of shady tax schemes, gifts, and loans to shovel more than $413 million into his pocket. With that kind of wealth just handed to him, Trump never had to work a real day in his life. He was able to fail upward, growing more arrogant and more arrogant while never growing more competent.
Some will ask if the truth matters at this point. Who cares if Trump was a business fraud since he's the President now? We need to care because the truth matters for future generations. When historians look back on this dark era and try to puzzle out how this stupid, pedophiliac monster seized control of the Oval Office, the myths that he constructed for himself will be crucial to that understanding.
If we're going to avoid repeating the Trump mistakes, we must have a full accounting of how it happened.

BREAKING: Republicans hold Dr. Fauci in contempt for invoking his 5th Amendment Rights.
In other words, Republicans are against our Constitutional rights.
A federal pardon does not eliminate exposure to state prosecutions. The Fifth Amendment protects against self-incrimination under any American government, not just the federal government.
If the DOJ prosecutes him, they will lose miserably.
I have had numerous constructive meetings with Mr. Blanche and he comes across as decent and capable. I appreciate the trip he made to learn more about Alaska, including our rural areas, and as Acting Attorney General he has made several noteworthy decisions that will benefit our state and the nation.
Ultimately, however, I will oppose his nomination.
The politicization—even weaponization—of the Department did not start with this administration but has accelerated during it. I take issue with the handling of the release of the Epstein files; the sweeping immunity protections granted to the President, his family, and their businesses; the statements that have been made to anti-abortion groups; and the repeated targeting of individuals ranging from former administration staff to sitting U.S. Senators.
I am also keenly aware that the Department’s nearly $2-billion dollar slush fund—which likely would have rewarded January 6 protesters—is only off the table because this nomination is pending and the Senate has leverage. Once we vote, that will end, and there is no telling what the future holds.
The country needs an Attorney General who will check the worst impulses of this administration. I hope Mr. Blanche is able to achieve that, if confirmed, but I simply do not have confidence that will be the case.
It is a sad day indeed when leaders use their authority in ways that cause harm, feed ego, or damage individuals who have spent their lives in service to others.
Dr. Fauci deserves better.
It was an embarrassment to watch my Republican colleagues berate and belittle Dr. Fauci for nearly three hours last week.
If they had genuine concern for America’s public health, they would turn their attention instead to the destruction wrought by the Trump Administration’s anti-science agenda.
Republicans SCREAMED their stupid fucking heads off for weeks about how the ALLEGATIONS against Platner disqualified him, but now they’ve got a guy accused by his Republican Senator ex-father in law of ABUSING his wife and toddler daughter and suddenly they’re silent???
When you realize that the number two guy involved in the largest child sex trafficking ring in human history remains President of the United States with ZERO fucking consequences, it’s no surprise the Capital One money laundering story has all but vanished from the news cycle.
61 years ago today, the Voting Rights Act became law, and 61 years later, they're still playing games with our right to vote.
From gutting Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, to Trump's voter suppression bill, to the racist gerrymandering across the South — they're hellbent on taking us back to the days of Jim Crow.
Well, we're not playing.
We owe it to those who marched, bled, and sacrificed for our right to vote — and to the next generation — to keep fighting, keep organizing, and pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
The fight is far from over.
🚨BREAKING: Federal Court REJECTS Department of Justice lawsuit seeking to compel Washington, D.C. to provide the DOJ with access to its complete voter registration database.
DOJ is now 0-21 in these cases. Elias Law Group remains undefeated. https://t.co/5AEGSB0kpM
They just voted to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt. Translation: they really don’t want voters to focus on THEIR CONTINUED COVERING UP OF THE EPSTEIN CRIMES leading up to the election.
Ok so when trump pardons his family or members of his administration, Democrats can call them to testify and when they plead the fifth Democrats can hold them in contempt.
Good to know.
Sen. WELCH: Is there no line that the Senate won’t allow Donald Trump to cross? It confirmed Bondi, Hegseth, Patel, Noem. And it’s about to confirm Blanche. The President is abusing his authority every day and that’s shame on him. But the Senate is failing to use its power.
Republicans have the majority in the Senate and House and they're telling you they cannot rein Trump in, so stop giving them power. They're telling you they refuse to use it.
Should Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, pay the same amount of taxes into Social Security as a fireman or nurse? Of course not.
The answer isn't complicated. Let's lift the cap and make the wealthiest people in America pay their fair share to strengthen Social Security.
NEW: Mitch McConnell says he has been discharged from rehabilitation and is now recovering at home.
But nearly two months after he was last seen publicly, McConnell still has not appeared on camera or directly addressed Kentuckians; despite Gov. Andy Beshear calling on him to demonstrate that he remains capable of serving.
