'What in the holy hell?' Trump warned new threats have left MAGA base bamboozled
Donald Trump is in danger of crippling his presidency even among his supporters by threatening wars abroad on multiple fronts and ignoring the matters at home that got him elected, Morning Joe claimed Monday.
Using Trump’s rift with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) as a starting point, MS NOW host Joe Scarborough claimed the president has lost the plot.
“She actually has been speaking out for things that constituents in Dalton, Georgia — as I've been saying for a long time, I know the area very well — they care a great deal about, whether you're talking about Medicaid, whether you're talking about, you know, health care subsidies that they desperately need so they can take care of their children. Whether you're talking about the affordability crisis, you just go down the list. And she's actually been speaking out, saying, hey, we need to, you know, we need to take care of these issues or else we're leaving our own baseline.”
“They hear about Argentina, they hear about Argentine beef. They hear about these boats that we're spending, how much money blowing up boats, which the New York Times is suggesting this weekend that some innocent fishermen were killed in those attacks,” he added. “Then he's talking about possible invasion of Nigeria.
"And if you're in Dalton, Georgia, you're sitting there going, what in theholy hell is going on here? This isn't America First.”
Axios co-founder Jim VandeHei agreed and pointed out, “I just think American people are smarter than politicians give them credit for sometimes because they realize if you're going to sit back and you're going to rank the topics that matter most is drug smuggling, if it is happening from Venezuela making its way to the United States a top five topic? It's probably not a top 1,000 topic.”
“So then they wonder why the hell are you spending your time there and not trying to figure out why my health care premium just went up 15 to 25 percent, or why my grocery bill is so high, or why our schools continue to under-perform compared to our international rivals. And if you look at MAGA, they're very much motivated by that.”
