Maryanne Trump Barry was serving as a federal judge when she heard her brother, President Trump, suggest on Fox News, “maybe I’ll have to put her at the border” amid a wave of refugees entering the United States. At the time, children were being separated from their parents and put in cramped quarters while court hearings dragged on.
“All he wants to do is appeal to his base,” Barry said in a conversation secretly recorded by her niece, Mary L. Trump. “He has no principles. None. None. And his base, I mean my God, if you were a religious person, you want to help people. Not do this.”
Barry, 83, was aghast at how her 74-year-old brother operated as president. “His goddamned tweet and lying, oh my God,” she said. “I’m talking too freely, but you know. The change of stories. The lack of preparation. The lying. Holy ****.”
Lamenting “what they’re doing with kids at the border,” she guessed her brother “hasn’t read my immigration opinions” in court cases. In one case, she berated a judge for failing to treat an asylum applicant respectfully.
“No. He doesn’t read,” Barry responded
In response to a question from The Washington Post about how she knew the president paid someone to take the SATs, Mary Trump revealed that she had surreptitiously taped 15 hours of face-to-face conversations with Barry in 2018 and 2019. She provided The Post with previously unreleased transcripts and audio excerpts, which include exchanges that are not in her book.
At one point Barry said to her niece, “It’s the phoniness of it all. It’s the phoniness and this cruelty. Donald is cruel.”
Well yeah..This should surprise exactly no one. But Trump fanatics will deny it, despite its obvious truth.
Duh.
The type of recording is perfectly legal in New YorkI don't know if I agree with secretly recording someone like this.
What she says is exactly what so many others who have worked with him have said.
Trump has to be the biggest con man this country has ever seen.

The whole Trump family is damaged.
Who secretly records their aunt?
"Unnamed sources! Wait, that's not it....umm....Disgruntled Employee. No, not that.....Trump never met this person! There ee go"
Politicians are experts at insulating themselves from any negative implications of their actions or their lack of action. In this instance, the Republican federal congressmen and congresswomen have been careful to look the other way as more and more information on the ability and stability of President of the United States of America Donald Trump surfaces.
It will be interesting to see whether they [the GOP congresspeople] will pay any price whatever for their position.
Regards, stay safe 'n well. Remember the Big 3: masks, hand washing and physical distancing.
The Democrats cannot win on a smear campaign. Therein lies the problem. It doesn't matter how many recordings there are, or what a sister said or what a fired employee alleges. None of this matters in the voting booth. People who don't want Republicans in office have already made up their minds. All of this "tell all" is simply more than gossip within the clique. However, it doesn't convince the swing voters of anything. It simply reaffirms how awful Trump is to people who already think he's awful. If the Democrats want to win, they need to stop the pettiness and come up with a platform that is both appealing and sensible. Letting riots continue and placating criminals is neither sensible nor appealing. Across the board higher taxation is not sensible or appealing. And trying to narrow the parameters of freedom in this nation is a big red flag. If the Democrats want to win, they need to promote their platform in a positive light - whatever that may be - or at least DEFINE it. Thanks!!

But there are Republicans who only voted for Trump due to party loyalty. The DNC had traditional Republicans speak at their event to lure these loyal traditionalists away from Trump.
