49. Mary Trump shouldn't say things like that

Tue Jun 13, 2023, 04:38 PM

Jun 2023

She's opening herself up to civil, or even criminal, charges of making false statements unsupported by facts.

She can say stuff like "...in [her] opinion Donald would be capable of something like that...". But she can't say "of course he did" unless she was a witness to it or has evidence of it.

We Donald detractors have got to toe a somewhat fine line so as not to give the other side ammunition to throw at us - especially legal ammo.

The last thing I want is for Mary Trump or other critics of the Orange Goblin to be silenced or penalized for over-exuberant opining.
