“Danielle Moodie Show” host Danielle Moodie told “Left Hook” podcaster Wajahat Ali that Trump appears incapable of appointing intelligent or competent people to important jobs — particularly ones impacting U.S.’ credibility abroad.
Moodie pounced on Trump’s appointment of Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) as the new head of Homeland Security after the removal of former head Kristi Noem.
“We have to understand that any replacement that Donald Trump makes inside of this regime is always worse than the original,” Moodie told Ali. “It’s like the sequels of the Trump regime are all Temu versions, and Markwayne Mullin is probably ... the most dangerous choice that Trump and this Congress could possibly make if they confirm this man. Worse than Kristy Noem and her horseback riding.”
“This man is actually psychotic,” said Moodie. “And there are examples of him … not having the temperament to be a dog walker, let alone frigging overseeing the department of Homeland Security.”
Ali pointed out that Mullin is also a Jan. 6 truther, and that when he was confronted about whether or not Trump lost the 2020 election he evaded.
“So, you got a guy living inside the anus of Donald Trump. … He, like, threatened the president of the Teamsters to a fight. He’s a failed MMA fighter with a history of violence. So, yeah, Rand Paul (R-Kent.) started off the meeting saying he didn’t have the temperament,” said Ali. “… He is indeed Temu Kristi Noem, who was so dumb that she wasted millions of taxpayer dollars banging her lover Corey Lewandowski in the sky on a jet.”
Moodie reserved much of her rancor for congressional Republicans who approved the worst of Trump’s nominees, including Noem and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, despite the “white nationalist symbols” on Hegeth’s body.
“‘Give them the benefit of the doubt.’ they said, and this is where we are … with rejects from Fox and rejects from the UFC … with death and genocide in our name.”
But Ali added that stupid people do stupid things, like launch a major war in a problematic side of the planet without preparation.
“I mean, you did shore up our oil reserves [before launching], right? You thought this through, right? Have you talked to our allies about this before you destabilized international markets? Maybe make a sales pitch and bring them on board? You’ve done that, right? But instead, we get “Shut up! You’re gay!” Danielle, they didn’t plan for anything! Nothing!”
Moodie argued that white supremacy “doesn’t allow you to plan for anything” because you already believe “you are the all-knowing, all-powerful Oz.”
“This is what white supremacy does,” said Moodie. “This is why we say this sh—— is self-destructive. This is why we say the ‘didn’t earn it’ crowd — the one’s running this — is running it into the ground because they assume they know everything.”
“But the funny thing is they are the dumb f——s in the class who’ve been cheating off of others their entire lives,” Moodie added. “So, no, they didn’t make a plan for Iran because their islamophobia and racism didn’t allow for them to make a plan They thought they would drop a bunch of bombs and the brown people would fall to their knees and beg the white men for forgiveness.”
