'Talentless goon': MAGA lawmaker dunked in scorn by MSNBC panelist
MSNBC dragged Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) on Tuesday after crafting mock-ups of President Donald Trump's face to be added to Mount Rushmore.
Host Chris Jansing noted that Trump acolytes are putting his face on everything from coins to dollars. The Lincoln Project's co-founder, Reed Galen, noted reports that indicated if Trump's face was put on the mountain, it couldn't support the weight and may collapse. He called it the "perfect metaphor for his presidency, as you're going to find."
"I think that the rest of it is just a continuation of his branding exercise that he's been up to for the last 40 or 50 years," he added. "It used to be hotels, and now it's going to be museums and train stations. The man is a megalomaniac. He's clearly a narcissist."
But it's the enablers who are adding to the cult-like following.
"You have a bunch of people like Anna Paulina Luna, who is a talentless goon of epic proportions, who have literally nothing better to do than come up with this stuff, as opposed to, let's say, trying to figure out how to save her constituents in Florida from the next hurricane, out of control housing prices or the inability to get homeowners insurance," said Galen.
So, he doesn't find it surprising, as it is part of the effort to keep Trump "happy" and "stay in his good graces."
"I mean, Chris, this is all just an extension of what we were talking about when I was on earlier in the show. It is his world at the moment. It is his control that we're all having to deal with," Galen continued. "And there are so many people who have been very, very cheap in taking those 30 pieces of silver, Mount Rushmore train stations, whatever it is, is just the next iteration."
