Mary Trump: Meghan McCain Has No Courage



Mary Trump Calls Out Meghan McCain Live on The View for Ducking Her Segment: ‘A Shame’ She ‘Didn’t Have the Courage’

Mary Trump appeared on The View to promote her new book Reckoning, which explains the national trauma suffered by her uncle, former President Donald Trump and suggests a way to heal. During her appearance, however, she took a clear shot at co-host Meghan McCain who did not participate in either of the two segments in which she was interviewed.


“This is an incredibly powerful platform,” Trump continued, “and I think the more we talk openly about these things — it’s a shame that your colleague didn’t have the courage to come on and have this conversation with me — but I appreciate that you were all willing to take up these very difficult subjects because racism in my view is at the heart of everything that’s wrong in 21st century America.”

And she was flustered, I could tell producers were talking in her ear telling her to say nothing. They were probably told interview Mary and say nothing about Meghan, lots of interviews have one or more of the ladies missing, although many have all of them.

She thanked her for coming and went to break.

I seem to recall that the discourse between Mary and Meghan was a bit 'uncomfortable' for Meghan.

and she literally mopped the floor with Meghan.

I guess it's still vivid in Meghan's mind.

Until I found out producers are constantly talking in their ears. I know a few times both Whoopi and Joy have spoken back to them on air.

NOTHING and NOBODY seemed to be able to stifle her disrespectful and nonsensical screeching.

The profession of 'editor', in the days of the internet, has become depressingly diminished, I often lament.

And yes, I ended the sentence with a preposition on purpose

Most people are being much kinder to her, with their criticism, than she's ever been to anyone else.

Strangely, she's not getting much support. Ok, perhaps not so strange.

That’s already three strikes in the crowd Meghan hangs with. She is not a professional anything and it showed every day.

USA Today reported on early July:

...she would continue to co-host until the end of July.


Now shit is really getting real:

“There is no ‘good’ Trump family member to me,” McCain tweeted this afternoon. “Continue to wish they would all just leave me and my entire family the f*ck alone.”
