Mary L. Trump, whose best-selling book calls her uncle President Trump “the world’s most dangerous man,” said in an interview with The Washington Post that she plans to do “everything in my power” to elect Democrat Joe Biden as president, but hasn’t yet talked to his campaign.

Speaking Monday on The Post Live program with reporter Robert Costa, the president’s niece acknowledged that she had not obtained permission to use a series of incendiary quotes from her aunt Maryanne Trump Barry. In the book, Mary Trump quotes Maryanne as saying that Donald Trump was a “clown” who would never get elected.

Asked whether Maryanne knew her quotes would be in the book, Mary Trump said that they came from conversations that took place before she planned to write a book. She said that she hadn’t talked to Maryanne since the book was published and said she would not be surprised “if she never contacted me, and I think that’s fair. I understand why she would not want to.”

Maryanne Trump Barry could not immediately be reached for comment.

1. Maryanne comes across as a serious witch in the book.

Donald is more of a spoiled clown. Maryanne is more purely evil.

2. Please don't insult witches, practitioners of earth-based religions, by including

Maryanne.

3. She's definitely not a "good" witch.

I assume there’s a distinction.

4. If I were to call Ms. Laurie Cabot up in Salem ...

she might tell me she would prefer that the formerly mentioned trump sister was called a horned pagan or something else not related to the good witches in Laurie's coven.

5. Fair. n/t

6. The witches I know, and know of, have one major tenet, a variant of the "Golden Rule" found

in many spiritual practices, "An it harm none, do as thou wilt". Seen by some outsiders as the ultimate license, but seen by those adhering to it as ultimate responsibility. Very much like certain Indigenous groups, wherein every action has to be considered for its effect on the next seven generations.

7. Maryanne definitely harmed her niece and her nephew.

I guess that means she’s not a witch. Or does it mean that she’s a BAD witch—one that doesn’t follow the code?

8. Unless she has identified herself as such, she is not a witch. She is, however,

A very harmful person, as are most members of that misbegotten family.
