Former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan (R) delivered a damning prediction of Donald Trump’s legacy — and slammed who the president-elect has picked for roles in his second time period — throughout an interview with CNN’s Kasie Hunt on Monday morning.
Duncan, a longtime critic of Trump who drew the returning POTUS’ ire for refusing to assist overturn his 2020 election loss, argued that Trump’s legacy “is extra constructed on a Ponzi scheme of populist concepts” in that “daily it’s bought to get a bit extra edgy and a bit bit extra daring and bombastic.”
And you need to “look no additional than these nominees to see a part of that subsequent step within the Ponzi scheme,” Duncan continued throughout a dialogue that was ostensibly centered on outgoing Sen. Mitt Romney’s (R-Utah) latest evaluation that “MAGA is the Republican Get together” and criticism of Trump’s political motion.
“Should you instructed me that Donald Trump was constructing an administration to run a frat home, I’d consider you,” Duncan instructed Hunt in a withering metaphor. “Not essentially to deal with the worldwide points that we’re dealing with, the financial challenges we’re dealing with. The depth of the challenges that this nation faces, I consider are extra severe than Donald Trump is.”
Trump has garnered widespread controversy over a slew of his Cupboard picks.
His first selection for lawyer common, for instance ― the now-former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz ― withdrew his personal nomination amid additional scrutiny of sexual misconduct claims towards him, which he denied.
