Trump’s niece slams White House’s ‘wannabe mafia boss’ message on President’s Day

President Donald Trump’s niece slammed the White House’s message on President’s Day, calling it something that a “wannabe mafia boss” would say.

On Monday, the White House posted a picture on X that features Trump on a fake cover of Time Magazine under the title “Trump’s World.” The photo also includes a caption that reads, “I was the hunted, and now I am the hunter.”

Mary Trump, an author and psychologist, argued in a new Substack essay that the message is unbecoming of someone serving as President of the United States.

“Let’s leave aside the fact that by being ‘the hunted,’ Donald is referring to his having been legitimately investigated, indicted, and convicted for crimes he actually committed; and by referring to himself as ‘the hunter’ he is acknowledging that, because he is an aggrieved child not satisfied with having gotten away with all of those crimes, he is currently misusing the power of the presidency and the agencies he controls to go after those who investigated and prosecuted his crimes,” Mary Trump wrote.

“This is the message of a thug, a wannabe mafia boss,” she added. “That is what it now sounds like to be ‘presidential.’ And it’s another reason to consider what it is we’re supposed to be celebrating today. I’ve often wondered why we have Presidents’ Day at all because we’ve had more terrible presidents than good ones, and we’ve had more mediocre ones than either of those.”
