MSNBC's Jen Psaki has theory about why Tim Walz is 'driving Donald Trump so crazy'

On Thursday morning MSNBC's Jen Psaki stated she thinks Donald Trump won't boot floundering Sen. J.D. Vance as his running mate while at the same time suggesting the former president likely sees the Ohio Republican as a major drag on his bid to be re-elected now.

Speaking with "Morning Joe" host Mika Brzezinski, Psaki suggested that Trump is likely watching the relatively obscure Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) becoming an instant celebrity and second-guessing his selection of Vance.

As she pointed out, every time the former president watches Walz wow a crowd, it is probably driving him to distraction.

Quoting former ex-Sen. Claire McCaskill's observation, "Tim Walz is who J.D. Vance wants to be," Psaki added that the folksy Walz, " ... is why he's driving Donald Trump so crazy. He is legit, authentically an American regular guy you could talk to in a hardware store. That's not who J.D. Vance actually is even if that's who he presents himself as on paper. That's part of the problem."

"Even more, Jen, Tim Walz really supports his candidate and is there to support her and believe in her through and through and always did," host Brzezinski contributed. "J.D. Vance hated Trump, literally hated him and said horrific things about him. He was an anti-Trumper of the best order, so I'm not sure how he figures out who he is at this late date. It's a struggle."

"Yeah," Psaki agreed. "Yeah, look, in politics, we've all been around it a long time, voters, the American public can sniff inauthenticity; this guy is not authentic. He doesn't like Trump. He's not presenting himself as who he was for many decades before he had this kind of about-face to try to connect with the MAGA world."

"People recognize it, voters are not dumb, they're smart," she added. "That's a root problem for J.D. Vance, is that he is just not authentically who he presented himself to be at all."
