Steve Schmidt, political strategist and co-founder of the
Lincoln Project, on the Cankles Regime:
“[He] has been the worst president this country has ever
had. And, I don't say that hyperbolically. He is. But he is a consequential
president. And, he has brought this country in three short years to a place of
weakness that is simply unimaginable if you were pondering where we are today
from the day where Barack Obama left office. And there were a lot of us on that
day who were deeply skeptical and very worried about what a [Cankles] presidency
would be. But this is a moment of unparalleled national humiliation, of
weakness. When you listen to the President, these are the musings of an
imbecile. An idiot. And I don't use those words to name call. I use them
because they are the precise words of the English language to describe his
behavior. His comportment. His actions. We've never seen a level of
incompetence, a level of ineptitude so staggering on a daily basis by anybody
in the history of the country who’s ever been charged with substantial
responsibilities. It's just astonishing that this man is president of the
United States. The man, the con man, from New York City. Many bankruptcies,
failed businesses, a reality show, that branded him as something that he never
was: a successful businessman. Well, he's the President of the United States
now, and the man who said he would make the country great again. And he's
brought death, suffering, and economic collapse on truly an epic scale. And,
let's be clear. This isn't happening in every country around the world. This
place. Our place. Our home. Our country. The United States. We are the
epicenter. We are the place where you're the most likely to die from this
disease. We're the ones with the most shattered economy. And we are, because of
the fool that sits in the Oval Office behind the Resolute Desk.”
No matter how much gold he gets from Michael’s craft stores,
or how many buildings he demolishes, or aches he builds, or buildings he puts
his name on or parts of the country he literally destroys—reflecting pools and
rose gardens for example—he will never ever be remember fondly or in any
good light by any free-thinking person in this country and around the world.
