(Congress Report) – Former President Donald Trump took an opportunity on Tuesday morning to post a lovely tribute to his recently deceased sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, hailing her for a life well-lived. He then set his sights on the leftist mainstream media for what they did to her during his time running for president and the four years he spent in the White House.
According to Johnathan Jones of The Western Journal, “In a time of mourning for the Trump family, the fact that the former president felt aggrieved at how poorly his sister was treated is a sign of just how poisonous and toxic the country’s media has become. Maryanne Trump Barry, a former federal judge, died on Monday at the age of 86.”
“She made a name for herself as a professional. She was appointed to the U.S. District Court for New Jersey in 1983 by then-president Ronald Reagan. Then-president Bill Clinton appointed her to the 3rd U.S. Court of Appeals in Philadelphia in 1999. But as CBS News noted, she was dragged into public view when her brother ran for president and was eventually elected in 2017,” Jones wrote.
“Barry, the widow of attorney John J. Barry, whom she married in 1982, was not immune to the family’s scandals,” CBS News stated in its article. “At the time of her voluntary retirement, she was being investigated for suspected violations of judicial conduct rules related to alleged Trump family schemes to dodge taxes on their inheritance.”
This is how vindictive and evil the mainstream media is toward those that are considered to be political enemies of the radical left. No longer do reporters present facts and truth to the American people. Instead, they work as propaganda makers, crafting narratives and spinning yarns that paint anyone on the right as bad guys while trying to make the left look heroic.
And that’s not all they do for their leftist overlords. They also serve as attack dogs. We’ve seen this from the near constant coverage of every move the former president and his family make or have made. Let’s not forget the weaponization of the legal system against the Trumps as well, which certainly seems to include the late Maryanne.
Trump penned on Truth Social, “My great sister, Maryanne, passed away yesterday at the age of 86. A truly beautiful woman, tall and elegant, with a presence like no other, she was also a tremendous student, intellect, and Judge, in charge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, just below the U.S. Supreme Court.”
“Her life was largely problem free, PERFECT, until I made it difficult for her when I decided to run for President. The Fake News, and others, went after her mercilessly, and because of the fact that she felt it inappropriate, due to her position, to defend herself, it just never stopped! While tough and strong, she was made to suffer in those years from 2016 until her Retirement,” he added.
The current GOP primary frontrunner closed out his post by saying, “I will never forget the many times people would come up to me and say, ‘Your sister was the smartest person on the Court.’ I was always honored by that, but understood exactly what they meant — They were right! She was a great Judge, and a great sister. She will be truly missed!”
He also included a photograph of the two siblings together.

Once upon a time, there used to be an unspoken rule among political opponents. You never went after a person’s family. The left has since abandoned any semblance of human decency, opting instead to use every dirty trick in the book to take out the opposition. Are these the kind of people we want leading our country?
