'A real constitutional crisis':  Historian outlines the real danger of Trump’s 'anti-democratic' rants

Countless pundits in MAGA media outlets have slammed President Joe Biden for his famous gaffes, overlooking the fact that former President Donald Trump has had his share of gaffes and verbal stumbles as well.

Trump recently confused two sons of the late President George H.W. Bush: former President George W. Bush and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough, joined by historian Jon Meacham, mercilessly mocked Trump for it during a late September broadcast of "Morning Joe" — commenting that he would love to see Trump and George W. Bush debate one another.

Meacham enjoyed seeing Scarborough have some laughs at Trump's expense, but his tone quickly turned dead-serious when he added, "The thing that worries me the most is not what Trump says when he's confused, but what he says when he's not."

The historian continued, "And there's this series of incredibly sulfurous, unconstitutional, anti-democratic assertions that he's making about what he wants to do if he returns to power — which is an entirely plausible possibility. And so, the focus, it seems to me, of all of us — the task of citizenship —should be: What is he saying? What does he want to do?"

Noting that the U.S. Capitol Building wasn't attacked during the Civil War of the 1860s but was attacked by Trump's supporters on January 6, 2021, Meachem added that the U.S. is facing "a real, political, constitutional, unfolding crisis."

Scarborough agreed, interjecting that Trump has been "talking about the execution of" Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley "simply because" he "wasn't going along with his plan to overthrow the government."
