Trump's ability to 'comprehend' what's going on now openly questioned: MS NOW's Lemire
During a discussion on the multiple crises that Donald Trump’s White House is facing, MS NOW’s Jonathan Lemire pointed out that there are questions about the president’s ability to understand that his war in Iran is not going as well as he appears to think it is.
With the panel pointing out the high cost of gas for Americans due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, combined with chaos in US airports because the president is holding up legislation that pays TSA agents, Lemire suggested the president may be overwhelmed.
“This is another example of the president simply being detached from what's actually going on,“ he told the “Morning Joe“ panel. “We have chronicled for a year and a half now that even more than most presidents, this one lives in a bubble; he only hears good news. No aide ever gives him something that's going to be upsetting. We'll get into it later.”
“The story from NBC about how he's basically given a highlight reel of war videos. He just sees explosions, and there's some questions as to how much he's really comprehending what is going on in that conflict,” he elaborated. “And this is another moment where he's bought into this idea that ICE, though he recognizes some of the mass deportations have gone poorly politically, he still believes in ICE. He still, every day on Truth Social, three or four times yesterday, supporting them, supporting their efforts and trying to blame Democrats for what we're seeing here. But all polls suggest it's not working, and his party is going to pay the price this November.”
