'Not strategy anymore': Mary Trump shows why her uncle can't stop the online tantrums

Former President Donald Trump is so afraid of "fear of humiliation" that he is unable to step back and think rationally about his own behavior in the wake of being indicted in the Georgia election case.

That's the view of his niece, Mary Trump, in an interview on MSNBC Wednesday.

"You mentioned the concept of accountability and how it is not something that Donald Trump is particularly familiar with," said anchor Alex Wagner. "I wonder what you think of the peril that he keeps putting himself in, legally speaking, by lashing out at prosecutors. Targeting judges. Speaking badly about the very people who will determine his fate. And being, effectively, not threatened, but potentially forced to pay a price for that in the form of a trial date that has moved, or a fine, or even the possibility of being incarcerated while he awaits trial. Do you think that there is anything at this point that could force Donald Trump to stop the vitriol and to stop the tweets and the rants? Or is he going to push it as far as he possibly can?"

"The short answer is no, he is not going to be able to stop himself," said Mary Trump. "There has been a really interesting shift over the last few months or couple of years. The way in which he is presenting himself in social media, the kind of attacking nature, and the aggressiveness, that used to be a strategy for him."

"You know, he used to throw temper tantrums strategically to get his way," she continued. "It is not strategy anymore."

"He is literally doing what he has done in other contexts, which is pushing the envelope to see how much he could get away with, which obviously, until this time, has been everything," she added. "But, the unconscious fear, terror, and especially if you have a fear of humiliation is so strong, that he cannot course correct and realize that what he's always done is, this time, not going to get him what he wants. In fact, quite the opposite."
