Mary Trump, the niece of Donald Trump and a longtime critic, has issued a stark warning about what a second Trump presidency—and potentially more—could mean for the U.S. In recent comments, she described the current political climate as “uniquely dangerous” and suggested that Trump may have ambitions beyond a second term.
Though the U.S. Constitution limits presidents to two terms, Trump has hinted at possible “loopholes” and refused to rule out a third run. Mary Trump, a clinical psychologist, believes he might try to defy the 22nd Amendment altogether, saying, “It’s more likely that he’ll just say, ‘I’m president for life and I’m not going anywhere.’”
She warns that Trump’s grip on power could test the limits of U.S. democracy, arguing he’s not an outlier, but rather the result of decades of political decline. Her message: Americans must stay vigilant and prepared for a potential constitutional crisis.
