The Mary Trump Podcast

Mary is joined by historian and authoritarianism expert Ruth Ben-Ghiat to examine Donald Trump's increasingly violent rhetoric, the use of political spectacle, and the normalization of cruelty in American politics. Together, they discuss how authoritarian leaders exploit fear, turn violence into entertainment, and use intimidation to consolidate power.
Ruth Ben-Ghiat, professor of history at New York University and author of Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present, brings historical perspective to the warning signs of authoritarianism, the dangers of political violence, and what Americans can do to defend democratic institutions.

Donald promised lower energy prices and an end to endless wars. Instead, Americans are facing soaring costs, an ongoing war with Iran, and a White House that insists everything is going according to plan.
J.D. Vance promises a deal, Tim Scott declares Donald's love for America, and Donald gives himself an A++++ for his economic performance. Meanwhile, the president struggles to stay awake, lectures the country about criminals, and asks voters to pretend he's on the ballot in November.
With the midterms approaching, it's time to give credit where credit is due.
It's Trump Trolls Trump, Week 91.

Mary exposes the psychology behind Donald's relentless projection, election denial, and obsession with playing the victim. From accusing others of his own behavior to refusing responsibility for his failures, Donald's attacks reveal a pattern of insecurity, fear, and psychological defensiveness.
As his accusations grow louder, the question becomes what Donald's own words reveal about the truths he cannot bring himself to confront.
