Mary Trump, the niece of President Donald Trump, claims that her uncle "enjoyed every second" of the Capitol riots.

The 55-year-old clinical psychologist's remarks come a week after a mob of pro-Trump protestors stormed the US Capitol building in Washington, D.C. - clashing violently with police and disrupting Congress' affirmation of Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 Presidential elections.

Five people, including a Capitol police officer, were killed as a result of the insurrection.

Now, Mary Trump - author of the bestselling Trump family exposé Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created The World’s Most Dangerous Man - made her feelings clear on the subject in a virtual interview with Sirius XM Radio host Dean Obeidallah on Friday, January 15.

Take a look at the interview with Mary Trump in the video below:

Per The Huffington Post, Mary Trump stated:

"He enjoyed every second of it. He is a physical coward but he’s perfectly happy when other people commit violence on his behalf.

"Secondly, again, he really thought that that was a way to change the results of the legitimate election."

In a previous interview with MSNBC back in November, Mary Trump described her uncle's state of mind as "desperate" and "flailing," when his Democrat rival Joe Biden was first projected to become the 46th President of the United States.

Mary Trump stated: "Donald has never been in this place before where there’s nobody to bail him out, there's nobody to buy him out.

"He's desperate, he's flailing, and there's literally nothing he can do legitimately except to watch this play out helplessly. The leader of a country trying desperately to delegitimize an election. It’s obscene, and somebody’s got to step in and stop it."

In an op-ed for the Guardian, Mary also seemingly predicted Trump's state of mind during the last weeks of his administration.

She wrote: "He's not going to engage in the normal activities that guarantee a peaceful transition. All he's got now is breaking stuff, and he's going to do that with a vengeance."

She added: "The worst thing Donald's looking at isn't financial difficulties or the prospect of jail. It's becoming irrelevant. I don't think he would ever recover from that."

However, irrelevance might be exactly what Trump is facing, bearing in mind his recent and permanent ban from Facebook, as well as his ban from Twitter, and YouTube.

Donald Trump Jr. has now asked billionaire Elon Musk to create his own social media platform "to save free speech": 

Per News18.com, there is growing speculation from political pundits that Trump may attempt to acquire his own social media platform after being banned from more conventional channels.

Per The Independent, in a since-deleted statement made on the official Presidential Twitter account, Trump tweeted: "We have been negotiating with various other sites, and will have a big announcement soon, while we also look at the possibilities of building out our own platform in the near future.

"We will not be SILENCED! … STAY TUNED. [sic]"
