'Donald's nightmare has come true': Mary Trump says Ivanka's trial claims 'don't add up'
Donald Trump's own niece, Mary Trump, wants to make sure the masses don't forget that out of her uncle's $250 million civil fraud trial came an underreported nugget: Trump tapped his kids' accounts to juice his bottom line.
In her latest episode of "The Good In Us," Mary holds a magnifying glass over this key finding that she contends was glossed over too swiftly by the press.
"His own daughter revealed under oath that Donald took money from his own kids to prop up the appearance of his net worth," she writes. "This shocking admission was buried so deeply within Ivanka’s testimony that the media largely missed it."
And to her, it's a damning revelation.

"It seriously threatens the house of cards Donald has built (with cards taken entirely from the deck my grandfather gave him) and propped up with exaggeration, decades of lies, and corporate media complicity."
It didn't escape MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin's attention.
When she learned about it she said her "jaw almost dropped."
"What we learned today is that behind the scenes, Donald Trump entered into an agreement with each of his three adult children, whereby they pledged assets of their own to help him satisfy the guarantee, which, according to his contract with Deutsche Bank, was supposed to be his and his alone."
Mary detailed some of her sleuthing that the 45th president did to lean on his offspring's wealth to buttress his own and set Deutsche Bank at ease with guarantees that he would be able to remit the principal, the income, and the operating expenses of the asset in question.
"Ivanka and her husband Jared took out a $15 million loan on their $24 million Indian Creek Mansion," she writes. "She was not alone among Donald’s other 'rich' kids."
"Donny reportedly took out a $4.8 million loan for his $9.7 million mansion. Eric borrowed $2.4 million on his $3.2 million house."
She rhetorically asked: "Why is this significant?" and then answered her own question.
"Any financial expert will tell you that getting a mortgage on a house is a curious decision if you're a married to a 'billionaire' like Jared or legitimately wealthy people," according to Mary. "Cash purchases save loan-related closing costs, and of course, interest payments."
She then ripped into Trump and the clan, writing, "the rotten apple doesn’t fall far from the rotten tree."
And while New York Attorney General Letitia James may be focusing her investigation by holding Donald to account for the widespread fraud that Judge Arthur Engoron already decided back in September that he and his company committed, she needs to look at "Ivanka’s shady loan" as well as "Ivanka’s finances," Mary added.
For Mary, Ivanka's "numbers don’t add up."
