The Republican Party is now unquestionably the party of Donald Trump. Both the base and party leaders go out of their way to defend Trump -- no matter how ridiculous his words and actions are.
But there are a few honest Republicans left in the United States. One of those is Republican strategist Steve Schmidt. Here is what he had to say about the Trump administration:
“The comportment of these people is shameful.”
“It’s just really a tragedy that we have tens of thousands of kids look at the President of the United States and they see a joke. You can’t watch the evening news with your children, because any different moment the newest porn star will be on explaining the relationship.”
“And from a personnel perspective, we’ve never quite seen the assemblage of crooks, just outright weirdos, wife beaters, drunk-drivers, complete and total incompetents that’s been assembled. If you took the ten greatest H.R. managers in the world and put them together and said we want to form a 1927 Yankees of incompetents, it’s not possible they would have done a better job than assembling this team and it’s not possible that this team could have let loose more chaos than they already have.”
