Mary Trump, who is the niece of former President Donald Trump and often criticizes him, appeared on the Michael Steele Podcast. During their conversation, they discussed different aspects of America and the upcoming elections. One interesting moment occurred when Mary chose to type something instead of saying it out loud, which made Michael Steele laugh. However, the audience was not informed about the content of her message.
Michael Steele asked Mary if she thought her uncle would quietly leave the political stage or if he would make noise and cause disruptions. Mary responded by saying that there was only one way for him to leave quietly but chose not to reveal what that way was. This made Michael Steele find it amusing and continue the conversation without sharing the exact details of Mary’s typed message.
They went on to discuss Trumpism, which refers to the ideas and supporters of Donald Trump, and how it attracted millions of additional voters in the previous election. They also talked about how voters perceive the challenges and tensions in a democratic system.
Mary, who has a background in clinical psychology, explained that some people argue that America is not a true democracy but a constitutional republic. However, she disagreed with this perspective, stating that constitutional republics are a type of democracy. She pointed out that throughout history, certain groups, like Black people and women, faced obstacles in exercising their right to vote. Today, issues like gerrymandering, voter suppression, and voter subversion continue to limit the democratic potential of the country.
The podcast episode ended without revealing the exact message Mary typed, leaving it as a mysterious moment for the listeners.
