What I said to Anderson Cooper


Jason , this is Mary Trump.

I just sat down with Anderson Cooper, and if you missed it, here’s what I told him:

Donald and his children have always accrued their wealth by rigging the system in their favor. What troubles me most isn’t the corruption itself, but how many people are still willing to look away, or even help it along.

Let’s be plain about what’s actually happening:

My uncle is willing to take money from virtually any foreign entity, no matter how hostile it might be to American interests. Whether it’s a billion dollars from cryptocurrency or a $400 million jumbo jet from Qatar, Donald has made it clear that he’s for sale, and that his personal interests come before our country’s.

We tend to forget that when Donald was indicted for stealing classified documents from the federal government, his case never went to trial because it landed before Aileen Cannon, a corrupt, loyalist judge he appointed.

None of this is new. Donald was never the self‑made businessman the tabloids spent decades pretending he was. His fortune was inherited, and now his children are running the same playbook—raking in tens of millions by leveraging the power and influence of the presidency.

That’s exactly why people like you and me can’t look away. I started Transcend PAC not to react to whatever Donald does next, but to build something durable enough to outlast this moment.

Grateful to have you with me,

P.S. Jason :

I’m grateful to Anderson for taking the time to speak with me. We’re facing an unprecedented flood of dark money and billionaires buying their way into our politics, which makes honest journalism more important than ever.

I’ll also say this: Anderson has faced years of attacks from my uncle over his sexuality. Donald has even nicknamed him “Allison Cooper.” It’s the same instinct that activates all of his late‑night temper tantrums: attack anyone who tells the truth about him.

If you’re done with the hate, the corruption, and the greed, I need you with me. We have the numbers to defeat Donald’s enablers this fall, but it will take all of us. Please make a split contribution to Transcend PAC and Battleground Blue PAC on ActBlue now.

 

Thank you for being a dedicated supporter of Democratic causes!

We’re proud to be 100% grassroots funded, meaning we never accept SuperPAC contributions or Special Interest Money.

We’re emailing you today -- because we need to elect a wave of Progressive leaders to Congress.

Without the help of our grassroots supporters, we’d have nothing. And if we can’t fundraise, Progressives will lose and Republicans will win.

While Republicans rely on corporate SuperPACs, we count on grassroots donors like you to do our work.

Every penny goes towards electing bold Progressives across the country.
