'A criminal and a traitor': Mary Trump urges voters to see her uncle is 'unhinged'

President Biden may have been fighting a cold during Thursday night's debate, but for Mary Trump — Donald Trump can't undo being tarred as a traitor.

The former president's niece's latest Substack write-up titled: "Why I’m still with President Biden: The other guy is a menace" tries not to get stuck on Biden's poor effort during the consequential rematch on the world's stage before 50 million people — one of them standing eight feet away in his Republican rival former President Donald Trump.

"It would be absurd to pretend that President Joe Biden had a good debate last night," she wrote. "I was there — he did not."

But for all the fallout that has the incumbent's base whispering about replacing Biden after he barely could form sentences and often lost his train of thought, Mary Trump still has faith that her uncle can be beat.

Especially if the voters are reminded of who Trump is.

As she writes: "I’ll take hoarse and halting over hate-filled and unhinged every day of the week."

The ex-president's niece didn't pull punches in regard to the CNN moderators Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, whom she accuses of choosing to "abdicate their journalistic responsibility" by not pressing Trump who she describes as "an enemy of American democracy and a free press."

She also wondered why they steered clear of her uncle's historic guilty verdict for falsifying business records to favor more time on "inflation and immigration."

And for her, Biden scored points.

"I do know that Biden called out my uncle for raping [New York writer] E. Jean Carroll and his tanking of the American economy," she wrote. "I do know that Joe Biden is a good man who knows the difference between allies and enemies, freedom and tyranny, and right and wrong."

After Thursday, Mary sees a binary choice in this presidential election: "President Biden had a cold and stumbled badly. Donald Trump is a traitor. The former should not in any way negate the latter."
