Trump Rants About 'Fake News' In Grotesque Post About His Dead Sister

Donald Trump's older sister, Judge Maryanne Trump Barry, passed away this week of suspected cardiac arrest, and the former President once again made it all about him. It took more than 24 hours for Trump to publicly acknowledge that his sister had died, and when he finally did, he ranted about the "fake news" apparently making her life a living hell. That never actually happened, as the media really hasn't pursued the branches of the Trump family tree in the way that they probably should have. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what happened.

Donald Trump's sister, Maryanne Trump. Barry passed away this week. She was actually found, uh, deceased in her home of a suspected cardiac arrest that happened on Monday. It was more than 24 hours later that Donald Trump finally decided to publicly acknowledge the fact that his somewhat estranged sister had actually passed away. And rather than, of course, simply praising her and, you know, remembering how much he loved his sister, Donald Trump did what Donald Trump usually does, and he made his sister's death, not only all about him, but he also turned it into an, an attack on the media. Here is what Donald Trump posted on Truth Social. My great sister Maryanne, passed away yesterday at the age of 86, a truly beautiful woman, tall and elegant with a presence like no other. She was also a tremendous student, intellect and judge in charge of the United States Court of Appeals for the third circuit just below the US Supreme Court.

Her life was largely problem free, perfect until I made it difficult for her. When I decided to run for president, the fake news and others went after her mercilessly, and because of the fact that she felt it inappropriate due to her position to defend herself, it never, it just never stopped. While tough and strong, she was made to suffer in those years, from 2016 until her retirement. I will never forget the many times people would come up to me and say, your sister was the smartest person on the court. I was always honored by that, but understood exactly what they meant. They were right. She was a great judge and a great sister. She will be truly missed. Now, I gotta tell you, as somebody that has pretty much talked crap about Donald Trump, rightfully so, every single day since 2015, um, I genuinely forgot you even had a sister.

Most of us that do this every day forgot you had a sister. And we, we didn't really spend any time at all, uh, going after her n neither did the other media outlets, like the corporate media outlets too. I mean, I, I, I read that stuff every day. There were not just hit piece after hit piece after hit piece after hit piece on Maryanne Trump, Barry. That's simply not a thing that happened. Yes, when you first burst into politics, it was a thing that people talked about very briefly because it was relevant, right? But nobody was going after her. Nobody was attacking her character. Nobody was talking about what a horrible human being she is. That simply didn't happen. But again, Donald Trump cannot pass up an opportunity to attack the press. Even. It's while pretending to mourn his recently Dece, uh, deceased sister can't even bring himself to act like a normal human being for one post on social media, and always has to turn it not only into a, an attack on somebody, but he also has to make it all about himself.
