During a signing ceremony on Thursday in Davos, Switzerland, involving the newly created Board of Peace, President Trump revealed a bruise on his left hand, which the White House later told Fox News, was due to his hitting his hand on the table.
Later, Trump himself further attributed the bruise to the daily aspirins he's been taking. This whole non-story served as another excuse for the left wing media to go after Trump's health, and for that task, CNN's Erin Burnett turned to the President's niece Mary Trump on OutFront.
After showing the bruise, and playing a clip of the President's explanation, and quoting Dr. Jonathan Reiner, who advised the White House Medical Unit under President George H.W. Bush -- saying the public has a right to know about Trump's health -- Burnett introduced her Trump hitwoman -- the president's bitter niece Mary, a clinical psychologist who has declared him unfit for years, seemingly hour on the hour.
BURNETT:.. Trump's estranged niece, Mary Trump, is writing about Trump's mental fitness. She writes, 'We do not need any more proof that Donald is a deeply psychiatrically, disordered man, but if we did, more evidence can be found every day in his outbursts, his hypersomnia, his alarming lack of impulse control, and his increasingly obvious deviance and corruption..".
How did Burnett she find someone so impartial? So would she press her guest on her accusations? Ha!
BURNETT: .. So you grew up with him and now you happen to be a clinical psychologist. And I know, you know, you're not here diagnosing, I'm just mentioning that you have that background as well. So what are you noticing now that makes you feel that something has changed?
MARY TRUMP: It's not so much that things have changed qualitatively, it's just that they seem to be rapidly getting worse. I think that Donald has had undiagnosed, untreated psychiatric disorders for many, many years, predating his first administration. But given his advancing age, clearly there seems to be some indications that he has some cognitive issues. Hence all of the cognitive tests he's taking, and the MRI's we've heard about, but I have no specific information about. And just his behavior, the way he speaks, his inability to rein himself in, his inability to stay on topic. And oftentimes it seems that he's not exactly aware of where he is or the audience he's speaking to.
Wait, I thought she wasn't diagnosing. I thought this was about the bruise on Trump's hand. It did present another opportunity for Burnett to follow-up and ask, can you be more specific in your accusations? Instead she asked her about his wanting to win the Nobel Prize, and his bringing up running for another term. Mary Trump pooh-poohed that and continued with the real purpose of this interview.
MARY TRUMP: The fact of the matter is, as I said, he's a lame duck president, and he is causing untold harm to this country. And I think at this point, we need to start focusing on our attention, on the people who are allowing that to happen, the enablers. And I think this is one of the biggest problems we're seeing on the world stage. We look at Donald and we we talk about his unfitness, his psychological issues, his perhaps neurological decline, his cognitive decline.
But other world leaders look at the United States as the problem. We have almost 78 million people put him back into office. We have an entire party dedicated to keeping him in power and enabling him, as well as a corrupt, illegitimate supermajority of the Supreme Court that is giving him imperial power. That is what the world sees.
This interview was nothing more than a platform for Mary Trump to bash her uncle, while both host and guest used the bruise on President Trump's hand as a means to an end.
PS: Erin Burnett did not focus on Biden's mental decline when she interviewed him in May of 2024. It was a "tongue bath." Her show could have boasted the titled OutFawned.
