Mary Trump, a clinical psychologist and the niece of President Donald Trump, has painted a grim image of what she believes is going on in her uncles head as he trails in the polls ahead of the election.
My theory about the way Donald has run his campaign is that he knows hes in desperate shape, so hes going to burn it all down, sow more chaos and division because thats where he succeeds, she told The Guardian in an interview published over the weekend.
He knows that hes losing hell deny it mightily and at some level, he understands whats at stake. If he loses, hes probably going to prison. So, if hes going down, hes going to take us all down with him.
Mary Trump, the daughter of the presidents late older brother Fred Trump Jr., published a critical tell-all book about the president earlier this year. In routine media appearances since the publication of Too Much And Never Enough: How My Family Created The Worlds Most Dangerous Man, Mary Trump has warned that America would be a dark place under a second Trump term.

(490 posts)He is in terrible shape statewide in many he HAS to win...but then their voter suppression kicks in - not enough votes end up arriving late / get rejected to save Trump, but whittling the margins down and thereby swinging some house seats? Thats not out of the question.
For what its worth, I think the chances of them winning the house are minimal, but would I rule out a bizarre election night on which they lose the presidency and the senate yet actually make a net gain in the house? No, and Ill know exactly why it happened.
