Mary Trump, the estranged niece of former President Donald Trump, outlined in a Substack blog the series of “huge mistakes” that her uncle made in a span of 48 hours. These mistakes included Trump’s team sending a subpoena to the wrong person in relation to his hush money trial in New York, his call to kill the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) bill, and his attacks on Judge Merchan’s daughter. Additionally, John Eastman, accused of trying to overturn the 2020 election results on Trump’s behalf, was rebuked by California bar investigators for submitting letters from GOP representatives in an attempt to keep his law license. Mary Trump also criticized Trump for endorsing a political candidate who failed to file income taxes for five consecutive years, and for failing to delay his hush money trial despite several attempts.
The filing from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office revealed that lawyers for Trump had mistakenly sent a subpoena to the wrong individual, leading to a humorous response. Trump’s call to kill the FISA bill aimed at reauthorizing a surveillance program led to confusion, as experts pointed out that his claims were inaccurate. Trump’s attacks on Judge Merchan’s daughter and his support for a candidate with tax issues were also highlighted as mistakes.
John Eastman, who faces disciplinary charges for his involvement in Trump’s election fraud claims, faced criticism for submitting letters from GOP representatives in a bid to keep his law license. Trump’s endorsement of a gubernatorial candidate with past financial challenges was deemed a mistake by Mary Trump, who pointed out the hypocrisy in his choice of political allies. Despite multiple attempts to delay his hush money trial, Trump’s lawyers were unsuccessful in their endeavors, with a court dismissing their latest motion to postpone the trial.
The seventh mistake highlighted by Mary Trump was Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene’s posts on social media about a solar eclipse. Greene faced ridicule and a community note for her claims that the eclipse was a sign from God to repent. During an interview, she defended her beliefs and stated that she was focused on telling the truth despite criticism. These incidents collectively showcased a pattern of errors made by Trump and his allies, highlighting a series of missteps and controversies that have surrounded them in recent days. Despite these setbacks, Trump and his supporters remain unwavering in their beliefs and continue to defend their actions in the face of criticism.
