Donald Trump scheint bereit zu sein, im Showdown mit Nichte Mary Trump die weiße Flagge zu schwenken, nachdem die Umkehrung der Entdeckung das Spiel völlig verändert hat

So Donald will throw his dad Fred’s highly debatable legacy as a person under a bus to avoid Mary finding out things about how Donald and his sons construct their tax shelter. Is that it?

**The Mashed Potato Incident:**

Donald Trump doesn’t like when this story is told.

According to Mary Trump, this is a legendary Trump family story that she describes as an important moment when the president received a scarring taste of humiliation while at the same time discovering his appetite for humiliating others.

It happened when Donald was seven (keep this in mind). Donald had been tormenting his brother Robert at dinner, as he apparently did often. He refused to listen to his mother’s pleas to stop.

Desperate to bring the fighting to an end, a14-year-old Freddy, who is Mary’s father and Donald’s older brother, took matters into his own hands and dumped a bowl of mashed potatoes on Donald’s head. Everyone in the room, except Donald, burst into laughter.

> „It was the first time Donald had been humiliated by someone he even then believed to be beneath him. He hadn’t understood that humiliation was a weapon that could be wielded by only one person in a fight“, Mary Trump wrote.

> „From then on, he would never allow himself to feel that feeling again. From them on, he would wield the weapon, never be at the sharp end of it“, he never forgot the incident, Mary said.

Donald Trump held an intense grudge towards his brother and treated him poorly for the rest of his life.

When Trump’s older sister Maryanne brought up the mashed potato incident at a gathering at the White House in 2017, the president „listened with his arms tightly crossed and a scowl on his face“… „He clearly still felt the sting of that long-ago humiliation.“

There’s one particular quote from Trump that really brings it all together.

Around the time when Trump first received the Republican frontrunner nom, he was interviewed by a famous biographer, and during a rare moment of self reflection, Trump admitted to this biographer:

> „When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same. The temperament is not that different“.

Coincidentally, first graders are usually around the age of *seven* years old.

With such a candid remark, Trump may have revealed that the mashed potato incident is a source of trauma for him and perhaps even the beginning of a life long pattern of behavior.

That same reporter also managed to get some insight into Donald’s behavior from his ex wives:

> „The little boy that still wants attention,“ explained Marla Maples, Trump’s second wife. She wasn’t the only one who thought so.

> „He wants to be noticed,“ said Ivana Trump, wife No. 1, who recalled sending Trump into a fit of rage by skiing past him on a hill in Aspen, Colorado. Mr. Trump stopped, took off his skis and walked off the trail

> „He could not take it, that I could do something better than he did,“ she recalled

Trump has the mental and emotional intelligence of a child. He cannot cope with feelings of humiliation, failure, embarrassment, or loss. These are his greatest fears.

He is a petty, vindictive, malignant narcissist who seeks out constant attention, approval and applause from those willing to give it, sincerely or not. This helps him internalize these fears and validate the delusions he has about himself.

To Trump, life is a zero sum game—no matter the circumstances.

In his mind, Trump is *always* the winner, even in the face of irrefutable loss. His ego cannot tolerate any other narrative.

His compulsive need to be the winner and the constant center of attention is a product of his own deep seated insecurities. A pathology that was no doubt cultivated by his role model, Roy Cohn, who taught him to deny every allegation and always claim victory, regardless of the outcome.

This is why he so often uses pretentious and grandiose language to describe himself.

It’s why Trump is so obsessed with his ratings. Why even when confronted with facts and data that expose his waning popularity, he has no other choice but to instinctively deny it.

It’s why he cries „fake news“ when encountering any criticism. Why he lashes out like a child bully when a reporter asks a legitimate or fair question that tries to hold him accountable or challenge one of his many inconsistencies, errors, lies…

Perhaps more importantly, it’s why every election or competition that he’s ever lost was conveniently „rigged“ against him. It’s why he never concedes defeat, and his only recourse is to accuse his opponents of „cheating.“

It’s why he is incapable of accepting responsibility for his own failures and mistakes. Why every investigation is a „witch hunt.“ Why every conviction is an act of „persecution.“ Why every journalist that does not shower him with praise is „nasty,“ „cruel,“ and „bad at their job.“

It’s why he mocks, belittles and taunts his political opponents, and why he so often resorts to slander and insults.

It’s why every judge or person in a position of authority who presents an obstacle to Trump’s unconstitutional agenda is an „activist,“ a „radical leftist,“ even a „traitor“ who must be removed from power.

It’s why he is weaponizing the justice department and every power of the federal government to seek retribution against all those who previously wronged him.

It’s also why he threatens the careers of talk show hosts who tell jokes at his expense.

Let’s also not forget that Trump is a notorious „cheater“ himself. He is a habitual adulterer, a corrupt conman, a tax fraud, a financial pariah, a grifter, a pathological liar and demagogue who preaches faux-populist rhetoric despite being a kleptocratic thief who picks the American people’s pockets while he shamelessly monetizes his presidency to the tune of billions.

He lies about his wealth, he lies about his accomplishments, he lies about his opponents, he lies about his crimes, he lies about his intentions, he lies about his popularity, he lies about himself, he lies about everything, and of course, he lies about elections.

While Donald Trump was accusing his opponents of „rigging“ the 2020 election, he was scheming to overturn the results of that same free and fair election; which subsequently led to the events of January 6th.

Trump even lies about his golf game.

It’s no secret that Donald Trump cheats at golf. He’s been caught many times, even by professional athletes.

He brags about fabricated and inflated numbers of tournament wins. He lies about his scores, he sabotages his opponents and he’s been accused of defrauding the sport entirely.

Donald Trump must protect his fragile ego by surrounding himself with flatterers, sycophants and loyalists, by constructing a safe space where he is free from humiliation, shame, embarrassment, failure… Mashed potatoes.

His pathology is rooted in a lifetime of lies, enablement, narcissistic delusions, unanswerable fraud, and compulsive cheating—all behaviors that stem from deep, lingering fears.

To Trump, losing an election or being humiliated by his opponents and critics amounts to a vivid and chilling reliving of *The Mashed Potato Incident.* His „Rose Spud“ if you will.

We need to get the Obamas to take a family photo at the dinner table with a huge bowl of mashed potatoes.

I’ve heard about the mashed potatoes thing a few times and I’m actually surprised it hasn’t been brought up more by Trump’s rivals. The only thing is, Trump is always in a naturally unhinged state and so the average person may not even notice he’d act any differently.

President Potato doesn’t want to get mashed.

Most of Trump’s lawsuits tend to fizzle out around the discovery phase, because he is lying and has no evidence to support or refute claims being made in the court room. Seriously this guy cannot even remember how many times discovery has burnt his ass in court.

Time to fire up The Wiggles at every Trump public event.

Mashed Potato, mashed potato, potato, potato!

Donald Trump is a loser who keeps losing to everyone- to Hillary, to Biden, to Mueller, to Epstein, to the Justice Department, and most recently, to Iran. It’s all he knows

So like his current with the lawsuit. They are always afraid of discovery.

Our executive branch consist of a couch fucker, a mr. Mashed potato head, and an army of boot licking cucks…

Dude is in SO many lawsuits. A real POS. it looks exhausting. He’s a lizard.

There is going to be an FBI and DOJ investigation of Mary Trump. I guarantee it.
