      Mary Trump: Here’s How We Send Donald to Jail

      THE NEW ABNORMAL

      Mary Trump shares what it will take to see Uncle Donald behind bars and Rep. Sylvia Rodriguez updates Molly on the situation in Texas—and the story behind AOC’s huge fundraiser.

      The Manhattan District Attorney’s office finally got its hands on Donald Trump’s taxes and it’s only a matter of time before it becomes clear why he spent so much time trying to keep them hidden away.

      In this episode of The New Abnormal, Mary Trump joins as Molly Jong-Fast’s co-host to talk about the development, a topic that she knows a lot about. (Quick recap: She helped with the New York Times’ investigation into Trump taxes.)

      But these taxes are different than the taxes Mary had been involved with, she says. “The taxes I gave them are old and from my grandfather's company. So I think [the new taxes] will be really helpful in establishing patterns where such patterns actually exist,” she explains.

      But there’s one problem. She doesn’t think Trump is really sweating it down in Mar-a-Lago, mainly because he’s gotten away with so much shit for so long. What makes this time any different?

      “If he goes down because of his taxes, Al Capone-style, I'm all for it,” she says. “And if it's bad enough, which it's going to be, I think his ability to stay out of jail decreases significantly.” It’s not impossible, and there is one thing she says we can keep doing to make it happen.

      Then! there’s still the Republicans’ MAGA Problem. “It's almost like they have Stockholm syndrome [from Trump] that they gave to themselves,” Molly says, and Mary piles on: “They are an anti-democratic party and they will do anything, including embracing counter-majoritarian tactics, to maintain their power, no matter how illegitimately.” Even if it goes against their voters’ own interest or well-being. (“Self-interest in the name of being superior,” says Mary.)

        Then! Rep. Sylvia Rodriguez (D-TX) joins Molly, producer Jesse Cannon and Daily Beast congressional reporter Sam Brodey to share what the situation currently looks like in Texas, the text chat that led AOC to fundraise for people in the state, and why running off to Cancun was never even a thought in her mind—but recruiting Sen. Ted Cruz to volunteer at the food bank with her is.

        “His neighborhood is slightly different than mine, and they have a lot of access to resources and it would be helpful," she says.

        Plus, Rep. Val Dennings (D-FL) shares what being in the Capitol during the riots was like from a former law enforcement officer's perspective and faces Molly’s very blunt question: Is she going to run for Senate?
