A foreign affairs expert shared a sobering warning about President Donald Trump during a new interview on MS NOW.
Tim Nichols, a staff writer at The Atlantic, told MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace on "Deadline: White House: Weekend" that Trump's personal "defect" appears to be getting worse, and there doesn't appear to be anyone around the president who can blunt the impact of that decline. That is happening at a time when the country is gearing up for one of the most consequential elections in recent history, and Trump has shown signs that he may be unwilling to accept the results if the election goes against him.
"We've all kind ofgotten used to rolling our eyes and saying, 'Boy, that's reallycrazy stuff,'" Nichols said. "It's worse thanthat because it does suggestthat there are no limits towhat he will try. Thisis somebody who has demolisheda chunk of the White Housebecause he felt like it, and noone stopped him."
Nichols added that Trump's recent actions also show that his long-standing "defects" are worsening.
"We can focus all day long on the various defects of Donald Trump's personality. They'reevident. They've been evidentfor a good part of his life," Nichols said. "And they're getting much worsenow. But the fact of the matteris, no one's stopping him. Notthe Republicans."
"The Democrats, I think, are doing some of what they can do, but I think they've been underreacting to this, and the American public, which again, has been kind of just ground down by this firehose of lunacy," he added.
