Mary Trump: Harris campaign's devastating trolling is the 'best way to take down a bully'

Vice President Kamala Harris' rapid response and press teams have received a heaping of praise on social media for its quick — and often devastating — rebuttals and attacks of former President Donald Trump, and now they add one more fan: his niece.

Mary Trump wrote in her newsletter, "The Good In Us" on Friday that her uncle can't stand the thought of losing, but that "losing to a Black woman is particularly hard for him to bear." She gave Harris' team credit for "understanding just how to put pressure on Donald’s very fragile psyche."

"Their rapid-response and press teams are running an edgy presidential campaign that is unique, as far as I know, in modern American political history," wrote Mary Trump. "It’s the kind of approach that both highlights and exacerbates Donald’s weaknesses. It also makes it impossible for Donald to stay on message and stay away from the kind of personal attacks that his advisors are desperate for him to drop because they’re endangering his reelection bid."

Her uncle's "narcissistic injury" has been so great, he has essentially stopped campaigning in battleground states and is having difficulty checking his worst impulses, Ms. Trump argued.

She pointed to the particularly pointed communications strategy, including a recent media advisory that warned reporters Trump was to "ramble incoherently" and "spread dangerous lies in public" at his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club.

"That’s quality trolling. It was also pretty prescient," said Mary Trump.

She recalled a famous line from Michelle Obama during Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign — "When they go low, we go high" — and noted not anymore. This campaign is fighting fire with fire.

"What the Harris and Walz ticket understands is that the best way to take down a bully with the kind of power Donald Trump has, the kind of unimaginable power he hopes to seize, is to mock him and encourage others to laugh at him," Ms. Trump said.
