6. That's really not what she's doing. At all.

Ever since he got elected the first time, she's been sounding the alarm about how dangerous he is. During this term, she's talked about how he's deteriorating and how his untreated personality disorders are getting worse (because that's what untreated mental disorders do) and how his dementia is complicating things, because that's part of the picture right now. Lots of other people are talking about those things these days as well, because his cognitive decline has been accelerating at an alarming rate at the same time that his physical health is going downhill. But that has never been Mary's main thrust.

The video I linked to in the O.P. is an interview she did while visiting the U.K. recently, and she's quite articulate in it about what her aims and concerns are. If you haven't watched it, I encourage you do so. I think you'd come away with a better understanding of what she's about and what she's trying to do.

Your accusation that she is just grifting is appalling to me. The less I say about that, the better, because I wouldn't be able to be very polite. I'm going to assume you haven't read any of her books, which is a shame, because I learned more about what makes the Orange Hellbeast tick from her first book (Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man) than I've learned from any other single source. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Or check out her YouTube channel, Mary Trump Media (https://www.youtube.com/@MaryTrumpMedia). You might be surprised at what you find there.
