While most of former President Donald Trump's family members have used their last name to cash in on his influence and defend his actions, Trump's niece—Mary Trump—has used it to further legitimize critiques of his character.

Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man, Mary Trump's tell-all of Trump's formative moments and the family's role in them, lobbed a host of new allegations against Trump upon its 2020 debut, including claims that he cheated on his SAT's and suffered under a poisonous family dynamic.

In addition to her intimate knowledge of the family, Mary Trump is a clinical psychologist specializing in trauma.

This past weekend, Mary Trump appeared on MSNBC to provide insight into Trump's continuing hold on the Republican party, despite losing the 2020 election, being twice impeached, and inciting a deadly insurrection on the United States Capitol.

Trump appeared as the keynote speaker at the Conservative Political Action Conference this weekend, where he was greeted with chants of "We love you!" and his name was likely even more ubiquitous at the conference than the American flag. Trump also overwhelmingly won the conference's annual straw poll of potential GOP presidential nominees.

Mary Trump shot down any claims that the Republican party's embrace of Trump is out of fear.

Watch below.

Acknowledging that Trump gives his followers "permission to be their worst selves," she said:

"I hear people say that the Republicans are afraid of Donald. No they're not. They are him. He is them. He represents them. And they also know that if they stick with him and they keep the base riled up and motivated to go out and vote, all they need to do is continue to engage in the counter-majoritarian tactics that have actually kept them relevant as a party."

People agreed with her analysis.






For this reason, many believe Trump would win again in 2024.



Trump will be 78 on the next presidential election day.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
