The Trump Department of Justice’s new indictment against one of his political foes revealed the “real story” behind the dark “message” the president is trying to send, according to his niece.
Mary Trump, a psychologist and author, argued in a new Substack essay on Thursday that President Donald Trump’s efforts to indict former FBI Director James Comey are an example of “what happens when a thin-skinned baby is allowed to consolidate power.” On Tuesday, the DOJ returned a two-count felony indictment alleging that Comey had threatened to kill Trump when he posted a picture of seashells arranged to read “86 47” on his Instagram page, and interstate communication violations.
“Donald has spent years demanding that the Justice Department go after his perceived enemies,” Mary Trump wrote. “He has publicly called for investigations into individuals he has labeled as disloyal or hostile. He has fired officials who failed to meet those demands and replaced them with people more willing to do so.”
“The Comey indictment sends a message. No matter how implausible the case, no matter how many times a case fails, the Trump regime will continue to use the United States government to pursue the people Donald has decided are his enemies,” she noted.
Mary Trump also warned that the damage caused by the Trump administration’s efforts could be long-lasting.
“That is the real story here. Not the shells. Not the number. Not the post. It is about the justice system and what it is becoming under the weight of Donald’s need for retribution,” she wrote.
