Politicians being embarrassed by relatives is not exactly a new phenomenon, and President Trump is no exception. President Trump’s niece, Mary Trump, has a book out titled Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man. In it, she accuses President Trump of all manner of things, does some eye-rolling psychoanalysis. It relies heavily on recorded or recalled conversations with family members bashing Trump. One of the people mentioned in the book is President Trump’s sister, federal District Judge Maryanne Trump Barry.
When Washington Post reporters, in a fantastic act of journalism, questioned the veracity of her accounts, Mary Trump revealed she had taped 15-hours of phone conversations with Judge Barry and released them to the Post. The Post published them.
Maryanne Trump Barry was serving as a federal judge when she heard her brother, President Trump, suggest on Fox News, “maybe I’ll have to put her at the border” amid a wave of refugees entering the United States. At the time, children were being separated from their parents and put in cramped quarters while court hearings dragged on.
“All he wants to do is appeal to his base,” Barry said in a conversation secretly recorded by her niece, Mary L. Trump. “He has no principles. None. None. And his base, I mean my God, if you were a religious person, you want to help people. Not do this.”
Barry, 83, was aghast at how her 74-year-old brother operated as president. “His goddamned tweet and lying, oh my God,” she said. “I’m talking too freely, but you know. The change of stories. The lack of preparation. The lying. Holy shit.”
My niece, Mary Trump hired a voice actor to impersonate me and get “my voice” on audio bashing my brother – without my knowledge or consent. All of the Trump family with the exception of my disgruntled niece couldn’t be more proud of my wonderful brother and the job he’s doing.

My niece altered my voice and used it without my consent to defame my brother. She will be sued in court… and she will be sued BIG LEAGUE!

Being a mini-Donald is a good thing… not a bad thing. Mary is just jealous that she turned out to be the opposite of her uncle. A soft-spoken, deeply insecure loser.

I was a federal judge. Do you think I’m stupid enough to say those things to a sociopath like my niece Mary? Hell no. Fake tapes!

Mary should’ve known better than to illegally use the voice of a federal judge. We are a family that believes in LAW AND ORDER and that’s exactly what is about to come down on her.

You’re damn right I’m voting for my brother on November 3rd. I love you! @realDonaldTrump

I hope my niece gets a nice cell right next to Obama in the big house when this is all said and done. If there’s one type of person you don’t mess with it’s a federal judge.

My niece Mary was always jealous of her uncle Donald because our father loved Donald and passed down the family business to him whereas he was not a fan of Mary (you can see why) and left her with very little. She always had a chip on her shoulder and vowed to get back at Donald.

I’m not an authority on this arcane area of law, but it does seem to me that faking recordings of a federal judge to make your book seem more credible is not a very bright plan. I find the idea that Judge Barry concocted the story of the fake to be highly unlikely, while, on the other hand, Mary Trump appears to be a very, very bitter nutter.
“Shouldn’t “big league” be “bigly”?“
No! Donald Trump says “big league“.
That stupid “bigly“ meme got started by people on the Left who want to make him sound ignorant. Just as they used to claim George Bush said “misunderestimate” to make him sound like a moron.
Why pro-Trump people insist on repeating it is beyond me.
Yep...fake
Mary was named after her grandmother.
Do 86 year old ladies tweets?
I'm 76...us old folks are not really stupid.
RE: The person who established the account is posting the way Trump does. It’s a satire, a goof on Trump.
Some possibilities:
1. Family way of talking
2. Trump trolling behind the scenes
WTF didn't the Judge come out LAST WEEK WITH THIS INFO???
Mary Trump hired a voice actor to impersonate me
Boom!
Mary Trump is a tool. Someone else orchestrated this.
Crazy people do crazy things.
But this plan seems really stupid. Fake recordings of someone who recently passed might actually work. But since the judge is still alive, there wasn’t much chase of this scheme succeeding.
Interesting...
It doesn’t matter that the article is a fraud. What matters is giving an alternate version of reality that people can (and will) cling to no matter how fraudulent.
Thank you!
That’s always been my contention though there are people on both sides. Bigly is indeed a word.
The link doesn’t work.
I think they figured out it’s a fake twitter account and removed the article. Here’s the author’s page, https://www.redstate.com/streiff/ with no sign of this article

I guess you’re right. I was there just a few hours ago.
Edit to add: However, THAT Twitter account and all the posts are still there as I write this.
The handle is @MaryanneTBarry with close to 5,000 followers
That was my first thought as well.
These Twitter comments don’t seem authentic to me, and the account has no blue check mark.
