'We can derail Donald's campaign': Mary Trump says Iowa revealed her uncle's weakness

Donald Trump's niece said on Tuesday that the media missed why Iowa was bad news for the ex-president.

Mary Trump, a frequent critic of her uncle Donald as well as their family, said on Tuesday that Iowa "showed Donald's weakness."

"I caught key data that most of the media missed last night on Donald’s Iowa results," she wrote. "It’s made me realize that NOW is the time to launch my 2024 nationwide campaign to stop Donald from winning the general election, and destroying our country."

Specifically, Mary Trump said that knowing "how awful he is, seeing Donald win anything just seems too much to bear."

"But have no fear: As I looked more closely at the Iowa data (the actual numbers beyond just what the media reported) I felt something I haven’t felt in a while: hope – hope that we can derail Donald’s campaign," she wrote Tuesday.

As far as "inspiring data" is concerned, Mary Trump pointed to "low turnout."

"Despite the fact that high turnout was predicted for the 2024 Iowa caucus, turnout was very low, with only 110,000 voters participating – one ofthe lowest turnouts in 24 years," she wrote Tuesday. "In comparison, nearly 187,000 GOP voters participated in 2016."

Mary Trump further claimed that it was "significant" that "49% of Caucusing Republicans did NOT choose Donald."

"Sure, Donald won Iowa, but almost 50% of Republican voters who bothered to show up for the caucus chose someone else. And in case you think all these voters would turn around and vote for Donald in the general election if he’s the nominee, note this: almost half of Haley’s supporters say they would vote for Biden over Trump, according to a new poll."

Another reason not to panic, Mary Trump said, is that "it's Iowa."

"Even The New York Times had to admit that Iowa isn’t much of a big deal, explaining that 'the results in solidly red Iowa don’t offer meaningful clues for the 2024 general election,'" she wrote. "Why, yes. Iowa’s population is barely over 3 million people, and it’s 85% white."
