Mary Trump TACO factor of war in Iran

Mary Trump suggested that her uncle, President Donald Trump, ordered a missile attack on Iran in part because he was still smarting from being called “TACO” by critics.

The acronym for “Trump Always Chickens Out” had been applied by opponents over his brinkmanship on tariff threats. But the president’s niece, a psychologist who’s one of his fiercest critics, said he hasn’t gotten over it.


She wrote Sunday in her “The Good in Us” newsletter that her uncle’s attention-starved “fragile ego” was devastated by the name-calling ; enough so to pull the trigger on a military operation that could plunge the United States into war.

Accusing him of illegally ordering the assault on Iran’s nuclear sites, Mary Trump wrote:

It is long past time that we stop imputing some deeper or reasonable motives to Donald Trump. Despite being depraved and cruel, much like his cohort Benjamin Netanyahu, he is driven by the most primitive impulses that center almost solely around protecting his fragile ego from humiliation (about which he has a pathological terror) and himself from the reality that he is a complete fraud.

Donald is still no doubt stinging from the acronym recently coined to mock his inability to follow through on anything—TACO: Trump Always Chickens Out. In the wake of Israeli strikes against Iran, Donald spent a few days saber-rattling only to back off (chicken out, if you will) in the wake of searing criticism by some of the most reliably sycophantic members of his cult—e.g. Rep. Marjorie Green (R-GA), Alex Jones, and Steve Bannon. He announced at a bizarre press conference that his decision to address the ostensibly urgent crisis regarding Iran would be put off for two weeks.

Only two days later, he ordered the attack on Iran. His allies would have us believe that Donald, a brilliant strategist, was faking us out. Sure. An infinitely more plausible explanation is that, on the one hand, he hates being challenged or contradicted, especially from those who almost always fall in line; therefore, he felt the need to double-down on his threats by carrying them out. On the other hand, Donald is a desperate black hole of need—by changing the narrative, he could make sure the spotlight turned back on him.
