28.04.2024: Donald Trump’s estranged niece, Mary Trump, has offered insights into why South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem admitted to euthanizing her own puppy named ‘Cricket’ and an unnamed family goat. The revelation has sparked widespread discussion and criticism on social media platforms like X, formerly Twitter.
In an upcoming book titled *No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward*, Noem reportedly recounts the incident of euthanizing an “untrainable” dog with an “aggressive personality.” Mary Trump, a vocal critic of the former US president, took to X to comment on this, stating that Noem’s actions are aimed at appealing to Donald Trump as a potential vice-presidential candidate.
Mary Trump criticized Noem’s decision, stating, “Kristi Noem is telling everybody that she euthanized a puppy because she wants to be Donald’s VP and she thinks the story will appeal to him. She’s not wrong.”
The controversy has intensified as Noem is considered a possible choice for vice president, with Donald Trump hinting at her as a prospective running mate in a February Fox News interview. However, Mary Trump’s reaction has highlighted the ethical concerns surrounding animal welfare.
Mary Trump shared her own emotional experience with losing a beloved pet, expressing her deep attachment to animals. Her sentiments resonated with many on social media, with users expressing sympathy and outrage over the incident.
The backlash against Noem has also come from within the Republican ranks, with former White House officials Alyssa Farah Griffin and Sarah Matthews criticizing her actions. Griffin, a dog lover, expressed horror at the incident, emphasizing the importance of proper training for pets. Matthews questioned the motive behind boasting about such a distressing event.
In response, Noem defended her actions, citing the tough decisions often faced on a farm and mentioning other recent instances of animal euthanasia within her family.
The controversy continues to stir debate and reflection on the treatment of animals and the ethical responsibilities of public figures. Mary Trump’s revelations have added a new dimension to the discussion, highlighting the complexities of political ambition and personal morality.
