Mary Trump And MSNBC Host Agree Letitia James Knows How To ‘Drive Trump Absolutely Insane’ With Taunts About Seizing Building

Host of The Mary Trump Show podcast and strident Trump critic Mary Trump and MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell bonded over New York AG Letitia James’s ability to drive ex-President Donald Trump “absolutely insane” by taunting him about seizing his favorite building.

James taunted Trump this week by referencing his favorite building — 40 Wall Street — as she promised to seize properties if he can’t pay the bombshell fraud judgment that could total in excess of $460 million.

On Thursday night’s edition of MSNBC’s The Last Word, O’Donnell asked Mary if AG James has learned the secret to beating Trump and driving him nuts, and they both agreed James “has his number”:

O’DONNELL: I was struck by what you’ve written about, where he is in relation to the edge as a result of New York State Attorney General Letitia James closing in on him. And that specific line she said in that television interview, about she looks at 40 Wall Street every day.

Is it your sense that Attorney General James has figured out two things? How to beat Donald Trump in court, and how to drive him absolutely insane with statements like that?

M. TRUMP: Yeah. She has his number, for sure. And anybody who is from New York who has been paying attention for the last many decades knows what makes him tick. And what’s so fascinating about this latest chapter in his life is that he’s finally reached the end of the road.

When he was taking over for my grandfather, or when he was my grandfather’s successor, and the one who is going to fill my grandfather’s ambitions, he had — he didn’t need skill. He just need — skill as a real estate developer. He just needed the skill as the arrogant, self-confident, brash guy who played well on television.

My grandfather always had hundreds of millions of dollars to prop him up. We know that when — after my grandfather died, Donald sold the empire lock, stock and barrel, at a loss of approximately $300 million. So, he still had some cash on hand to keep it going. Then he kept getting rehabilitated and rehabilitated.

A.G. James knows better than anybody else that there’s nobody else left to hand Donald the blank check anymore. And that’s what keeps him up at night because he is terrified of having the truth about him be known, not just to other people, but to himself, because that’s what’s kept him going all these times– all these years, the lie that has become, in his own mind, the truth about what a great, successful man he is.
