Donald Trump’s niece said her uncle is guilty of sedition
Mary Trump, a popular critic of the Donald Trump administration is joining the board of LPAC, an organization that supports LGBTQ+ female candidates running for office. And she’s doing so, she says, partially driven by the belief that her uncle nearly destroyed America’s democratic system of governance.

“We came really close to losing our democracy — and I may sound melodramatic but it happens to be true,” Mary Trump said in an interview on Thursday.
“I feel it’s the beginning of the fight because we came so close to losing and we’re also faced with a situation in which there’s this fight over the filibuster, and it’s important we understand this is about representation across the board.”

Moreso, she said, she hopes to use her name and platform to “move away from what has been one of the worst administrations in this country’s history on almost every level.”
Mary Trump, who worked with LPAC before the election, was asked to join the group as it works to recruit candidates for office and raise funds ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.
“If it’s only men making decisions about womens’ issues or straight people making decisions about LGBTQ issues, then that’s where we run into problems and we’ve seen this,” she said.
However, her feelings toward her family haven’t improved recently.
She accused her uncle of committing “sedition” and doing “everything in his power to steal this election.”
A trained clinical psychologist, Mary Trump is currently finishing her second book “The Reckoning,” which will examine “America’s national trauma, rooted in our history but dramatically exacerbated by the impact of current events and the Trump administration’s corrupt and immoral policies.”
