In an interview with the Washington Post, President Donald Trump’s niece, Mary Trump, took aim at first daughter Ivanka Trump, calling her an “enabler” of his father’s disturbing behavior.
Ivanka Trump has long tried to depict herself as a “moderating” influence on President Donald Trump, but the president’s niece is now calling B.S. on that narrative, shooting down the notion that the president’s daughter works behind the scenes to smooth out her father’s rough edges, and instead says that Ivanka is more of an enabler than anything else.
“She doesn’t do anything,” Mary Trump told The Post. “She spouts bromides on social media, but either she tries to have an impact and fails, or just isn’t interested in having an impact.”
The president’s niece added that, “I can’t think of one thing she’s done to show that she’s moderate or a moderating influence.”
Mary Trump also said that Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, have taken over the roles of the president’s chief enablers that were filled by his father, Fred Trump, during his childhood.
Other Trump enablers, in Mary Trump’s eyes, include “chiefs of staff who went along thinking that they could have some kind of influence, only to find that they didn’t,” and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), whom she said is “perfectly willing to put up with all sorts of egregious behavior to get his own agenda through.”
