Trump's perfect image of 'decadence and rot' could be his undoing: Ex-GOP operative

Steve Schmidt, a former Republican strategist, ripped President Donald Trump after he showed up at the Knicks' NBA Finals game at Madison Square Garden, right in the heart of New York City, where he appeared to fall asleep during the historic game. He warned this could signal Trump's undoing.The co-founder of the anti-Trump group The Lincoln Project described how Trump's 30 percent approval rating, the Iran war and his declining health were all leading to MAGA's pending implosion after he was viciously booed by the crowd during the National Anthem on Monday night.Schmidt described his experiences working with former President George W. Bush, former Vice President Dick Cheney and presidential candidate and former Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and his interactions with the Secret Service. He explained that presidents in the modern era have been considerate of how their travel impacts the voters who elected them — except for Trump.He just doesn't care about anyone besides himself, and that's the point in New York City, Schmidt said.It's not about him, but Donald had to make it about him, Schmidt added. He needed to inconvenience hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people, and ruin the experience for lifelong fans so he could fall asleep in the luxury box. It is the perfect image for the sloth and the corruption, the decadence and the rot that has descended over America. He explained how, as gas prices rise and when people around the world see this obese sloth, they know that our greatness has turned into a necrotizing rot, that we are a falling republic.
