Mary Trump, niece of President Donald Trump, understands and knows her famous uncle much better than almost anyone on the planet. She has taken a refreshingly honest outlook on him. Not surprisingly, she has been highly critical of him, one of his most vocal opponents. The fact that her last name is Trump frankly feels like it adds considerable clout and validity.
Mary Trump feels like her infamous uncle launched "Operation Fury" for only one reason really.
What is that reason?
Not surprisingly, it's not liberating the people. Mary Trump made clear that King Con Don has no real interest in the Iranian people, or even in the regime change which he now champions.
She says:
"The Iranian people have suffered long and horribly under the cruel and repressive authoritarian theocracy currently in power. They deserve to be free, and they deserve the ability to determine their own system of governance.
"But the man who is bombing their country has no interest in them, and he has no plan to create the conditions in which they can become free, or support the efforts to create an alternative to the current regime."
Mary Trump says that this strategy to save himself and serve his own narrow interests has worked brilliantly to this point. After all, he has never had to pay any real consequences for his actions, no matter how illegal or immoral they were. And no matter how many people were hurt by those actions of his. It seems like this has become a pattern of behavior for him.
Yes, it's as simple as that. Trump has launched an illegal war - he calls it a war, as does his head of the Department of Defense Pete Hegseth, Not for America's safety or because Iran was about to attack the United States - a claim that feels like it has about as much validity as George W. Bush's claims tat Saddam Hussein's Iraq was about to launch attacks on the United States prior to the 2003 American-led invasion. It's not even about regime change.
Simply stated, it's about distraction from bad news domestically. Or, to put it in other words, a "Wag the Dog" strategy. Trump himself showed familiarity with this concept when he claimed (inaccurately) that then President Obama was about to launch a war against Iran.
Again, she explained:
"For Donald, there is one reason and one reason alone. He's in trouble, and he knows it. This isn't simply about changing the subject. That, of course, would be bad enough. This is to keep himself and the world from knowing what an inept, depraved, compromised fraud he is.
"This is about his unfathomable desperation to avoid being humiliated. Donald Trump has taken us to war at the behest of Saudi Arabia and Israel. But that wouldn't have been enough of a reason if doing so didn't also coincide with his own self-interest."
Look, Trump's first year of his second term has been anything but smooth sailing. His popularity has generally gone downward ever since he assumed office again. He never followed up on his promise to quickly improve the situation with inflation, and what he claims were triumphs regarding lowering the price of gas - which never were anywhere near as significant as he claimed - are being unraveled by this war, which of course he started. His ICE secret police force is quite unpopular, and has also compromised his popularity. And of course, let's not forget the Epstein List, which he promised to release as a candidate, but has done everything possible not to release (certainly not fully) since he once again assumed the Oval Office. That, plus his overreach of power both domestically (ignoring Congress with this was, and ignoring court rulings - including the Supreme Court - against him.
Indeed, he looks increasingly like what his critics worst feared: an out of control tyrant. Apparently, most Americans do not approve of that. And so his poll numbers began to tank, pressure on him keeps building.
In short, fertile grounds for him to do something extreme - like start a very risky war which could very quickly escalate - in order to distract everyone from all of the bad news which he himself cannot seem to get under control.
Indeed, it does feel like Mary Trump has called out her famous uncle with quite a degree of accuracy and reason yet again.
