Appearing on MSNBC's "Chris Jansing Reports," former Republican National Committee spokesperson Tim Miller claimed the inflammatory comments Donald Trump is aiming at Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Truth Social are signs that he is becoming even more unbalanced by his legal woes.
On Thursday Trump unleashed a flood of attacks on the investigation into Trump's alleged hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels that culminated with the former president threatening "death and destruction" if he is indicted.
Speaking with host Jansing, Miller said that, if you read Trump's word's out loud anywhere, people within earshot would flee.
Beginning with "I think that he is venting," Miller told the host, "This is a deranged person. We can look at the politics but also just the reality for a second. If you were reading these bleats that he has been sending out for 24 hours out loud in a coffee shop, people would be running away from you and calling for the manager."
"These are the utterings of an insane person," he continued. "Not somebody that has the mental capacity to be president in 2024. I think that is important to say that clearly. I think it is a reflection he is both angered and upset about the possibility of these impending indictments. Also, sees the political benefit."
"This is a cunning guy," he admitted. "He might be a little deranged, but he is definitely cunning and he has this animal ability to know what is going to get his base riled up."
Earlier on MSNBC, "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough also called out Trump, stating, "But you read these tweets or whatever you call it on that failing platform, and this is a guy who, you're right, he's out of his mind scared. He is melting down. Now, he is threatening riots that will lead to death and destruction if he is charged with a misdemeanor."

‘Big shoe drops’: Bad day for Trump on multiple fronts in Special Counsel’s grand jury probes
March 24, 2023
Judge Nixes Trump's 'Executive Privilege' Claim, Orders Mark Meadows, Stephen Miller, Other Top Aides to Testify as Corcoran Completes Grand Jury Appearance
Donald Trump.First, his own attorney, Evan Corcoran, just past noon on Friday walked out of a federal court building after completing more than three hours of testimony before Special Counsel Jack Smith's grand jury investigating the ex-president's unlawful retention and refusal to return hundreds of sensitive, classified, and top secret documents.
His testimony, compelled by a subpoena, is seen by a former top DOJ official as "the most critical evidence in the case," and should "allow DOJ to make a charging decision without significant delay."
Prosecutors, citing the crime-fraud exception, were able to convince a federal judge that Trump likely committed a crime via his attorneys, enabling them to bypass attorney-client privilege.
Trump had strived to block Corcoran from testifying, but a federal judge and an appeals court, in an extraordinarily quick turnaround – some legal experts saying for reasons likely related to national security – ordered him to testify.
Also Friday, U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell rejected Trump's claims of executive privilege and ordered testimony before Special Counsel Jack Smith's grand jury investigating Trump's actions related to the January 6 insurrection from eight former top Trump White House aides.
Among them, Trump's White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, former Senior Advisor to the President Stephen Miller, and former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe. Also, former national security adviser Robert O'Brien and former deputy chief of staff and social media director Dan Scavino, ABC News reports.
Meadows is a former GOP congressman seen by many as integral to the events of January 6.
"Former Trump aides Nick Luna and John McEntee, along with former top DHS official Ken Cuccinelli, were also included in the order, the sources said," according to ABC News.
Former U.S. Attorney and Deputy Assistant Attorney General Harry Litman weighed in, saying: "Another really big shoe drops: [Judge] Howell rejects Trump's executive privilege claim and orders Mark Meadows and others to testify before Jan 6 [grand jury]. Meadows has really been able to stay on the sidelines. No more--even if he takes the 5th, which [would] then force [question] of immunity."

Former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany got an earful from supporters of former President Donald Trump recently when she wrote a tweet that praised former Vice President Mike Pence.
In a tweet posted on Thursday night, McEnany promoted an interview with Pence on Sean Hannity's show that she said showed "his patriotism, love for the country, and love for his Savior."
This apparently harmless statement earned the wrath of several Trump supporters who are still bitter that Pence did not throw out certified election results on January 6th, 2021, despite the fact that even right-wing legal scholars have said he had no authority to do so under the United States Constitution.
"Cowards aren't Christian," fumed Twitter user Anna Khait in reply to McEnany's tweet.

And this was not the only tweet to attack Pence using Christian rhetoric.
"Everyone hates Judas," wrote one of McEnany's followers. "Everyone."
"A man with zero convictions," replied user Paul Manley. "Judas at best."
Another of McEnany's followers seemingly made a reference to the QAnon conspiracy theory in justifying his animus toward the former vice president.
"He hates America," wrote Tim Swain. "WTH happened to you? He handed our country to the communists and pedos on a silver platter for a book deal.
Another Twitter user claimed that America's founders were "stupid" if they didn't give vice presidents the power to unilaterally declare election results invalid.
Another of McEnany's followers took her praise of Pence personally and said it was a betrayal of Trump.
"I can’t believe you said that," they wrote. "You too ? Is anyone that worked for Trump loyal to him? Interesting."
