On Friday more secretly recorded audio from Donald Trump's niece. Mary Trump was released on MSNBC. The audio feature, Donald Trump's sister Maryanne Trump Barry talking disparagingly about Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump. And once she said in the audio was a, was absolutely fantastic. First and foremost, she said that Eric Trump was the moron. Now she said a quote, she's singled him out. As the moron saying Eric's become the moron publicly. So publicly the public perception of Eric is that he's a moron to Eric's own aunt a hundred percent accurate, by the way. Yes. According to the media, the way he is portrayed, he is a moron. And the reason he is portrayed as such is because that is the image that he gives off. It's not just the media trying to say, Hey, we're getting back like this guys. Ain't no, he does a lot of stupid things, says a lot of stupid things, uh, does a lot of, you know, shiesty kind of things like the whole stealing money from the kids cancer charity thing.

So, you know, yeah, I'd say it's a fair, uh, depiction by the media, but that wasn't even the harshest of the criticisms that Marianne Trump leveled against the Trump children, harshest criticism was saved for Ivanka, who she referred to as Mini Donald. And yes, that is worse than being called the moron, a mini Donald. That is exactly what Ivanka Trump wanted to avoid. That is the perception that she does not want the public to have. Let's think back. Let's think back to December 26, 16 and January of 2017 prior to January 20, what were the reports? The reports coming out with that Ivanka might actually be the voice of reason. Ivanka might be the bridge to the liberals. She might push the president left on LGBTQ issues. She might push the president to do something about climate change. Remember all the meetings that were taking place in Trump tower with all those liberals started showing up there and having these meetings and Ivanka was going to be the one to push him left on all these issues.

And then she didn't do a dang thing. Like not once that all, except of course get all of those, uh, you know, patents from China that I'm sure helped her. Um, she didn't do anything else though. She got things that are gonna make her money in the long run, uh, gave us the impression she was going to do something to help average Americans, but really only, uh, did stuff for herself now, who does that sound like? Sounds a lot like Donald Trump, right? Because that is exactly what she is. You know, a lot of us actually called that out at the time. Some of us didn't believe for a second that she was going to be the voice of reason or that she was going to bring this bastion of liberalism to the Trump administration. We knew that wasn't going to happen. It took some media outlets all say a year or two before they finally came around to that before she finally admitted in interviews that, yeah, I really have no control over what my dad says or does, but these outlets continued up to that point of painting her as some kind of voice of reason at the same time.

And this was when this audio was recorded with Maryanne Trump. She knew, she knew what Ivanka was all about. Ivanka is all about Ivanka and that's what she goes on to always say to not, excuse me. That's what she goes on to say in that clip that was played on MSNBC.
