The Trump Organization and its longtime CFO Alan Weisselberg were charged yesterday with more than a dozen charges related to an alleged tax evasion scheme. Many believe this is just the tip of the iceberg and that more charges are coming, including those against Donald Trump and his three grown children, Don Jr., Ivanka and Eric.
Now the ex-president’s lesbian niece, Mary Trump, is weighing in on the matter and she says her uncle should be very, very, very worried that his children will turn on him to save their own buttocks. Betrayal in the DNA of the family, after all.
“Her relationship with them, and their relationship with him, is entirely transactional and conditional,” she told Rachel Maddow last night. “They’re not going to risk anything for him, just like he wouldn’t risk anything for them.”
Mary, who until now has never been wrong in her predictions about her family, may be on to something. Because according to several sources who spoke to CNN last week, Ivanka has already started to distance herself from her father.
In addition to skipping her 75th birthday party and not publicly wishing her a Happy Father’s Day last month, the former first daughter has reportedly cut back on family visits. Meanwhile, her husband, Jared Kushner, who was once Trump’s top adviser, has become an “increasingly rare” presence in her life in recent weeks.
Mary Trump explained that Donald’s kids are probably feeling “pretty anxious” right now, as they should be, and she expects them to end up throwing their dad under the bus.
“Donald, on the other hand, will expect the same kind of loyalty from them that he expects from Allan,” she explained. “As for Donald, they got what they got for him and they should be prepared to take any hit they take.”
But she thinks he’s going to have a very rude awakening because “I don’t think my cousins would exercise that kind of loyalty to him.”
LOL Mary Trump, who knows the full cast, says Trump’s kids are more likely to turn on Trump than Weisselberg. https://t.co/BEDsDX5RyV

Lawyers and representatives of the Trump organization called yesterday’s indictment “overbreadth of prosecution,” and the company and Weisselberg have pleaded not guilty to all 15 counts.
As for Trump’s children, Ivanka has basically gone into hiding as Don Jr. and Eric hit the media circuit yesterday to declare their innocence and claim their family is the victim of a politically motivated “witch hunt” and blah, BLA bla.
Here’s what folx says on Twitter …
Mary Trump speculates that none of her cousins will remain loyal and loyal to Dad Trump if they face serious charges. (Business intern)
I say we test this theory!

Mary Trump is probably the only asset that slept last night. ?

Ivanka’s silence increases the chances of her making a deal and testifying against Daddio. Fredo and Gums are too dense to make the move.

Mary Trump is the only Trump I will listen to and respect.

I believe Mary Trump when she says Donald Trump will do nothing to protect his kids from being sued to save his ass. What a loving father.
