Grim verdict as ex-GOP operative says US is on a 'raft ride down the sewer river' of Trump
A former GOP operative argued President Donald Trump is drowning in his own failure in a video on Monday.Anti-Trump conservative Steve Schmidt described how Trump's failed Iran war, struggling economy and blunders around the algae-ridden reflecting pool have further damaged the United States. He suggested the next move would be the Trump cabinet meeting inside the Situation Room, and how future generations would view this as a portal into understanding the insanity of this moment.The economy is wrecked. The nation dishonored, the people divided, Schmidt said. Ghislaine Maxwell sitting in minimum security. All of it a function of our national raft ride down the sewer river of Donald Trump's creation. It may not seem like we are all of us, on a boat, together, upon that fetid pool. But trust me. We are, Schmidt said.
