A former Republican Congressman is throwing shade at Donald Trump. Joe Scarborough gave a scathing analysis of Trump’s administration, which he believes is causing the Republican Party’s popularity to decline.
On his program on Thursday, he claimed that Democrats were leading by six points in key battleground districts according to polls. The crisis in the Middle East is among the big reasons that Joe believes Trump’s popularity is reportedly plummeting.
The Morning Joe host said there’s “nothing conservative” about the President’s administration
There isn’t a lot to like about the Republicans right now, at least not in Joe’s eyes. On the MS Now program, Morning Joe, the ex-politician tore into the President and his administration, believing they’ve turned their backs on the party’s identity. Joe says, “There is nothing conservative about this administration.”
As for Trump’s supposed low approval rating, Joe believes “It’s because we’re in a war that people like JD Vance and everybody else are now turning against.” He notes that the POTUS previously feared his 2024 Presidential opponent, Kamala Harris, would be the one to get the US into a war with Iran. In March, Joe Kent officially resigned from his position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center with the Trump administration.
The Iran war isn’t the only issue that Joe has with the government right now. He questioned their investments in companies such as Westinghouse, Intel, and U.S. Steel. Joe called it remarkable that these companies are getting such investments. He believes that’s a sign of how unconservative the Republicans have become.
Trump was blasted by Joe for struggling to get control of the Strait of Hormuz in that crisis. He says that’s something President Trump and his team should have realized, saying that this area had been a problem since 1979. Joe says Iran won’t open the Strait on America’s terms, adding they won’t be able to get out until they can do so.
TELL US – DO YOU THINK THE PRESIDENT’S CONFLICT WITH IRAN COULD AFFECT THE REPUBLICANS’ CHANCES OF WINNING THE 2028 ELECTION?
