In secretly recorded audio, President Trump’s sister says he has ‘no principles’ and ‘you can’t trust him’
Michael Kranish
Maryanne Trump Barry was serving as a federal judge when she heard her brother, President Trump, suggest on Fox News, “maybe I'll have to put her at the border” amid a wave of refugees entering the United States. At the time, children were being separated from their parents and put in cramped quarters while court hearings dragged on.
“All he wants to do is appeal to his base,” Barry said in a conversation secretly recorded by her niece, Mary L. Trump. “He has no principles. None. None. And his base, I mean my God, if you were a religious person, you want to help people. Not do this.”
Barry, 83, was aghast at how her 74-year-old brother operated as president. “His goddamned tweet and lying, oh my God,” she said. “I’m talking too freely, but you know. The change of stories. The lack of preparation. The lying. Holy s***.”
Lamenting “what they’re doing with kids at the border,” she guessed her brother “hasn’t read my immigration opinions” in court cases. In one case, she berated a judge for failing to treat an asylum applicant respectfully.
“What has he read?” Mary Trump asked her aunt.
“No. He doesn’t read,” Barry responded.

'He has no principles of his own, he just adopts those of his base'
isn't that a good outcome as far as representative democracy goes -

from OP
if he's just doing what his voters want with no will of his own, isn't that a GOOD example for representative democracy? his voters are actually being representedThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2020-08-23 at 10:22 AM UTCHe has done absolutely nothing to reach out to new voters. His divisive rhetoric is the same as it was on day one. For some reason he thinks his 35-39% base will win it for him.
So no, he is not a good democratic leader when he only appeals to one group of people that aren’t even the majority. -
2020-08-23 at 10:24 AM UTCA vote for Donald Trump is a vote for world peace.
Who knows what Biden will do. -

2020-08-23 at 10:39 AM UTCYou're right - why risk it? Trump proved he isn't a war monger, by breaking the 40 year old tradition of invading a new sovereign nation during his first term. Biden helped out Obama with his Libyan invasion, which threw the country into chaos and sparked two civil wars.
Don't you like peace, Technologist? -

That’s absolutely no proof that it won’t, or will happen. You don’t know, and you will never know......till you read about it on the news. -
2020-08-23 at 10:44 AM UTCBut looking at things objectively - which president is more likely to lead to war?

2020-08-23 at 10:56 AM UTCTrump hasn't been training to be a high level politician for decades of his life. He is an unpolished, non-politician who is openly hated by the media.
The status quo is this:

2020-08-23 at 11:55 AM UTCJournalists accusing a politician of having no principles.

2020-08-23 at 11:58 AM UTCThat wasn’t a journalist that said that. It was his judge sister who said it😂The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!
