Mary Trump has issued another stark warning about her uncle Donald Trump, saying Americans should pay close attention to what he may try to do when his current term reaches its end.<\/p>\n
The comments come amid renewed discussion about presidential term limits in the United States and whether Trump could attempt to remain in power beyond the two terms allowed under the Constitution.<\/p>\n
Mary, the daughter of Donald Trump\u2019s late older brother Fred Trump Jr., has been one of the most visible critics within the Trump family. She previously wrote about the family in her memoir Too Much and Never Enough<\/em> and has continued to speak publicly about her concerns over her uncle\u2019s political influence.<\/p>\n After Donald Trump returned to the Oval Office, Mary Trump described the moment as \u201cuniquely dangerous times,\u201d according to Newsweek. She also said the country would need to \u201cstart showing up in different ways from what we might be used to.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In a separate interview with The Telegraph<\/em>, she went further, arguing that the question is not simply whether Trump would run again, but whether he would willingly leave power.<\/p>\n Speaking about the possibility of a third term, she said: \u201cThat\u2019s what Donald certainly has in mind. It\u2019s not about whether or not he\u2019ll run. It\u2019s about whether or not he\u2019ll leave. It\u2019s more likely that he\u2019ll just say, \u2018I\u2019m president for life and I\u2019m not going anywhere\u2019. And he\u2019ll challenge people to get rid of him.\u201d<\/p>\n Mary Trump added: \u201cWhat 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\u2019t know, because we\u2019ve never had this problem. I think he\u2019s willing to challenge that.\u201d<\/p>\n She also said: \u201cAmerica 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.\u201d<\/p>\n The 22nd Amendment limits a U.S. president to being elected to the office twice. That rule has long been treated as a firm boundary in modern American politics, making any suggestion of a third term immediately controversial.<\/p>\n Trump has previously referred to \u201cloopholes\u201d when asked about staying in office, though he also said: \u201cI don\u2019t believe in loopholes. I don\u2019t believe in using loopholes.\u201d<\/p>\n Any serious attempt to challenge or work around presidential term limits would almost certainly create major legal, political, and institutional conflict. It would also raise urgent questions for Congress, the courts, election officials, and voters about how constitutional rules are enforced.<\/p>\n Mary Trump\u2019s warning stands out because it comes from inside the former president\u2019s own family, but it is also part of a wider national conversation about democratic norms, election law, and the peaceful transfer of power.<\/p>\n For voters, the issue is not just about one political figure. It is about whether constitutional limits remain clear and enforceable when tested by a president with strong political support.<\/p>\n As the debate continues, the central question is likely to remain the same: how far can presidential power be pushed before America\u2019s institutions are forced to respond?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mary Trump has issued another stark warning about her uncle Donald Trump, saying Americans should pay close attention to what…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":11317,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11318","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-story"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/divaxo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11318","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/divaxo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/divaxo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/divaxo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/divaxo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11318"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/divaxo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11318\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/divaxo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11317"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/divaxo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11318"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/divaxo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11318"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tbdig.com\/divaxo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11318"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}What Mary Trump Said<\/h2>\n
