Donald Trump's niece on Tuesday denounced former President Donald Trump's recent fundraising effort to sell fans a piece of his suit he wore in his Georgia mugshot, describing it as an attempt to sell "the suit off his back."
Mary Trump has long been a critic of her uncle, former President Trump. On Tuesday, she attacked the erstwhile president after he announced a plan to sell his fans "a piece of the suit" he "wore for [his 2023 Atlanta] 'Mugshot Photo."
“It was a great suit, believe me, a really good suit," Trump remarked in a video announcing the sale. "It’s all cut up, and you’re gonna get a piece of it.”
Mary Trump, a psychologist, said earlier in the day that she believed Republicans face a "day of reckoning" coming with the next election. After that, Mary Trump took to social media to attack the former president's attempt at fundraising.
"I swear I thought it was a joke when I heard he was hawking pieces of the suit he wore (allegedly) for his mugshot photo," Trump's relative wrote. "It gets even worse for him: Donald has to face the fact that the cat is out of the bag."
"Not only do the courts know the Trump Organization inflated his assets and he lied about his wealth, the public knows it too," Mary Trump continued. "Why is Donald selling the clothes off his back? Maybe it’s because he can’t afford his ever-mounting legal bills."
To purchase a piece of the suit, individuals have to buy 47 digital trading cards featuring an illustration of Trump. Buyers will then receive a piece of the suit or tie that Trump wore when he was arrested in 2023.
Described as “priceless,” a piece of the suit can allegedly be had for $4,699.53. Business Insider, however, notes that if a piece of the suit or tie are unavailable, buyers may have to settle for an NFT.
In a subsequent post on Substack, Mary Trump said it was a "new low" for the ex-president.
"I know Donald. He has no shame and is equally comfortable putting his name of buildings, steaks, and fake universities," Mary Trump wrote. "But this is a new low even for him – and it reeks of desperation."
