Mary Trump Says Sycophantic Cabinet Will Get ‘Retribution’ Without Trump Needing To Ask

Mary Trump, the niece of President-elect Donald Trump, told MSNBC on Sunday morning that her uncle’s cabinet picks will be so loyal to him he will never have to ask them to seek “retribution” on his behalf as they will do so by default.

Trump himself told NBC’s Kristen Welker on Sunday’s Meet the Press that his inaugural message and presidency will be one of “unity.”

After that interview aired, MSNBC guest host Charles Coleman Jr. noted on Velshi Trump had stated he would not use his second term to target his political opponents.

After turning to Mary Trump, he said, “We have seen Donald Trump invoke this consistent theme of loyalty, particularly with respect to the DOJ.” Coleman continued:

And that is also a huge theme in the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025. This sort of loyal, weaponized DOJ. And to that point, Mary, I want to bring you into the conversation. Donald Trump says that he will not direct his administration or the DOJ to investigate the January 6th committee. But at the same time, he also is looking to push Kash Patel as his pick to lead the FBI and do what he thinks is right. How do you square those two things, particularly for someone who ran on a theme of revenge and retribution?

Mary Trump responded, “Well, it’s very cynical of him. He knows that in a way he’s actually telling the truth there.” The niece of the incoming president concluded Trump would keep a promise by surrounding himself with sycophants:

He probably won’t have to direct whomever heads the DOJ because that person will be completely in line with him, as you say. The currency here is loyalty to Donald Trump. We’ve been dealing with this since he fired James Comey after James Comey pointed out to him that individuals don’t do that. They they are loyal to the Constitution of the United States of America, not one individual project 2025 and Donald Trump are going to end that. And I also, by the way, of course, though, there will be open lines of communication between Donald Trump and whomever he puts at the head of the DOJ. Hopefully, it is not Kash Patel.
