MAGA Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) confronted President Donald Trump about his social media posts, suggesting that posting less "won't cause brain damage," The Daily Beast reports.
“He asked me, ‘How do you like my tweets?’” Sen. Kennedy told the Pod Force One podcast on Wednesday. “I said, ‘Mr. President, don’t take this the wrong way, but tweeting a little less would not cause brain damage.’
While The Daily Beast says it's not clear when Kennedy had this conversation with the "nation's rage-poster-in-chief," but it was a lengthy one.
"“He looked at me, said, ‘You don’t like my tweets.’ I said, ‘No, I didn’t say that.’ I said, ‘I like steak, but I don’t like eight steaks at one time, Kennedy recalled. "'And you can’t just say everything that comes into your head.’”
Kennedy, who has aligned with Trump despite a few departures such as when he publicly stated that it would be unconstitutional and immoral for the Trump administration to send US citizens convicted of crimes to foreign prisons, continued to criticize Trump's penchant for posting.
“He just says anything. He says everything,” the senator went on, adding that the president appeared to have been “cool” about his suggestion.
Kennedy, The Daily Beast reports, admitted that his advice fell on deaf ears as the president most recently posted a vulgar scatalogical AI video, among other things, but says that the American people agree with him that it's just too much before offering up a familiar excuse for it.
“The American people get it,” Kennedy said. “I’m not saying my party’s perfect, but I think this is the way most Americans look at it today. People look at their choice, Democrat, Republican. They say, ‘Well, Republicans aren’t perfect, but the other side’s crazy,’” he said.
“And that’s why they elected President Trump. They know all about President Trump," Kennedy concluded.
