Steve Schmidt Unloads On The White House For Covering Up Trump's Declining Health

From the article:

Former GOP strategist Steve Schmidt ripped the White House on Tuesday for running a massive cover-up of Donald Trump’s declining physical and mental health.

During an interview with MSNBC’s Ari Melber, Schmidt said the president’s health is clearly deteriorating before our eyes, pointing out that Trump “routinely slurs” and is “often confused.”
“The enfeeblement of the president is something we’re all watching happen before our eyes,” Schmidt said. “The Donald Trump of 2020 is a different Donald Trump than he was in 2016.”

In many ways, Trump 2020 is identical to Trump 2016. He is still the same ignorant, racist, misogynistic clown.

Looking forward to his feeble bloated carcass being dragged out of the bunker next January.

and ask them why they remain silent about his declining health. Clearly, you have to live in their district so find an address and phone number in their district.

It's a good strategy to get him enraged, and get him focusing on concerns about his health and "enfeeblement" at his rallies.

We want more spectacles like with his Tulsa rally.

about any cover-up. If Trump were to drop dead right now, things wouldn't be particularly more chaotic than with him influencing his base and his toadies doing things to please him. The things he did, or were done in his name, right from the start - bans on Muslim countries, fucking around with a Mexican wall, supporting neo-Nazis - were not the acts of someone in control of their faculties.

The cover-up is well down the list of "things Republicans are doing to ruin the USA". I suppose it helps Republicans in Congress, since they don't have to answer awkward questions about why they're not using the 25th Amendment to get rid of a dangerous president.

It's a Trumpian move, actually.

Accuse the guy who's about to accuse you of something of that very same something. It diffuses the actual slur pre-emptively.

Trump's best (only) shot at Biden is that he's too old or infirm to do the job.

Schmidt is out-Trumping Trumpy.

Except for the 37% of cultlike followers, Trump's unfitness is inescapable.
