Mary Trump just hit her crazy uncle Donald where it hurts the most
Mary Trump just hit her crazy Uncle Donald where it hurts the most: crowd size.The one-term, twice-impeached, quadruply-indicted ex-president won the New Hampshire primary this week with 176,392 votes, or 54% of the electorate.
Meanwhile, is last remaining opponent, Nikki Haley, won 140,288 votes, or 43% of the electorate.Though technically the victor, a mere 11-point/36,104 vote difference is really not that impressive, especially for someone with as much name recognition, money, and institutional support as Trump.Subscribe to our daily newsletter for a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.(We should also note that Haley won 60% of independent voters, compared to Trump’s 38%, which could spell doom for him should be advance to the general election.)Also not impressive was how many people actually turned out to hear his victory speech in the Granite State.
As usual, Trump bragged about how many supporters were there, but reports from people on the ground told a much different story.A Department of Defense Inspector General report details rampant prescription drug abuse in the Trump Administration.
According to MSNBC contributor John Heilemann, the venue could hold up to 10,000 spectators, but there were “empty seats all over the place.” He estimated the it was “less than half filled” and that even on the ground level, closest to the stage, “you could see just seat after seat after seat, with no one in it.”In the latest installment of her Substack newsletter, Mary talks at length about about her crazy uncle’s shrinking crowd sizes and the “embarrassing number of empty seats” at Tuesday night’s rally.Correction: She doesn’t just talk about it.
