Trump closer to 'losing his own liberty' after latest attack on court staff: ex-GOP rep.

Donald Trump is inching closer and closer to a point where he will cost himself his own freedom, a former Republican congressman said on Saturday.

Trump, who has gone on the offensive even more since appeals courts have stayed the gag orders placed on him in criminal and civil cases, recently used his Thanksgiving post to attack the law clerk for the judge in the former president's civil fraud trial.

Former Rep. David Jolly (R-FL) appeared on MSNBC's American Voices with Alicia Menendez, where he was asked about Trump's attacks on court staff.

"Fascinating, look, in past years, his holiday messages have attacked socialists and Democrats and the deep state and this was an unhinged screed against prosecutors and judges and it gives you a little bit in terms of his state of mind," Jolly said, adding that "we continue to step closer and closer to Donald Trump possibly losing his own liberty either because of pretrial behaviors and attacks on prosecutors and judges or a conviction."

Importantly, Jolly noted, we "have not seen what Donald Trump ultimately does in that environment."

He added:

"I think we've seen it does not change the calculus for his election. I don't think he has a lead over Biden like the polls show because when people see his behavior, his behavior, they are reminded that he is an unstable, unhinged man, who should not be returning to the White House and that is enough to protect Joe Biden's lead going into a matchup."
