Donald Trump's administration is off the rails and Democrats aren't doing nearly enough to push back, an independent strategist said.
Steve Schmidt, an independent political strategist who worked on former President George W. Bush's campaign, recently said Trump’s "presidency is already in a state of collapse." Now, Schmidt is calling out both sides of the political aisle.
"The American people watched for 10 long years as if the next day coming had no attachment to those past. Now, clearly, every day is building towards a collapse," he said on Sunday.

Schmidt then said, "MAGA’s tentacles are expanding quickly now. There should be no doubt that Donald Trump’s aggressiveness and democratic fecklessness are deeply linked."
"Donald Trump’s aggressions are being driven by the appeasement that he faces and the complete, total and absolute lack of fighting spirit amongst the lackadaisical, corrupt, dishonest and feeble Washington, DC, Democratic Party," he added over the weekend. "Now, the nation faces the consequences of its corrupt two-party system."
He continued, adding that, "The MAGA fascists have a knife to Lady Liberty’s throat and a jackboot on the Canadian border, while the Schumercrats demand that they stop before making clear they don’t really mean it."
"It is outrageous, and because this fight is in defense of the most profound moral values imaginable, the Democratic leadership’s appeasement is immoral," the strategist added. "The American people are surrounded by a threat with no foundation to stand upon because the Democratic Party in Washington, DC, refuses to stand up."
In his conclusion, Schmidt said, "Chuck Schumer has made certain that Social Security checks will be interrupted within 90 days, and that Trump will be unimpeded from Washington, DC."
"The American people will need to revolt to put Trump in his place," he added. "I feel one coming. Do you?"
