When it comes to politics in the United States, it seems as if everybody has an opinion. What is more, they often aren’t afraid to voice their opinion for the world to hear.
This includes some that are close to President Donald Trump, including his niece, Mary Trump. Over the years, she has been an outspoken critic of ‘Uncle Donald’ and has even written a memoir about him and the rest of the family.
Mary is the oldest daughter of Donald Trump’s brother, Fred. He passed away in 1981, but his daughter is still out there wreaking havoc for the POTUS. She recently said that having him return to the Oval Office meant we were living in ‘uniquely dangerous times’.
She also said that the United States would have to ‘start showing up in different ways from what we might be used to’. Essentially, she was saying that there may be trouble on the horizon.
When you look at how many changes Donald Trump has made since he took office, it’s easy to see that he has created a lot of frustration for many. Some love it, others don’t.
One thing that he has been trying to change is how often a person can remain president. Per the Constitution, a sitting president can only serve a maximum of two 4-year terms.
Trump, on the other hand, has been strongly hinting that he is going to try to get reelected at the end of the current term. Some people find this to be terrifying.
In referring to certain loopholes that would allow him to stay in office, he said: “I’d rather not discuss that now, but as you know, there are some loopholes that have been discussed that are well known.
“But I don’t believe in loopholes. I don’t believe in using loopholes.”
If he were able to attempt this, it would require a lot of backing from the American public and from Congress. He essentially would be going against the 22nd amendment, and that may not go well for him.
In speaking about him possibly running for a third term, Mary said: “That’s what Donald certainly has in mind. It’s not about whether or not he’ll run. It’s about whether or not he’ll leave. It’s more likely that he’ll just say, ‘I’m president for life and I’m not going anywhere’. And he’ll challenge people to get rid of him.
“What enforcement mechanism is there to drag the guy who just lost the election but is in the Oval Office? How do you get rid of him? We don’t know, because we’ve never had this problem. I think he’s willing to challenge that.
“America is a deeply broken country and it has been for a long time. Donald is not an anomaly. He is, I think, the logical conclusion to the last 40 years of Republican degradation.”
