MS NOW “Deadline: White House” Anchor Nicole Wallace barely contained her horror at statements made by President Donald Trump and his insistence on the need to invade and take the Denmark-owned island of Greenland.
Wallace argued that the mounting list of the president’s madness could end if Congress simply stepped up and did its job.
“I am reminded … of the parable of the kidnap victims who are there for days, weeks, months, years. And then one of them gets up and opens the door and it's unlocked. Like, this could end today,” said Wallace. “This could end before I get off the air. Congress could decide to not just confront him, but just to do their job — the thing that the Constitution ascribes and describes as their function. The courts could be respected. Business leaders, who are making bricks for Donald Trump and doing all sorts of other pathetic sick stuff, could wake up and realize that his brand is in the toilet, that 9 percent of Americans support his war in Greenland. Thirty-seven percent think things are going well. It's a toxic brand. They wouldn't have anything to do with any celebrity or person anywhere in the planet with those approval ratings.”
Wallace went on to blast “the whole permission structure” that Trump abused in sending ICE agents to shoot and kill American mothers and threaten to bomb the U.S. economy with tariffs while destroying our relationship with international partners.
“And again, we don't know why he acts this way, but let's just say it: He acts like a bleeping lunatic. And all that could end before I get off the air at 6 P.M. eastern,” Wallace said.
Former U.S. Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul agreed, saying the international community is flummoxed that Americans would place someone like Trump over the federal government.
“The world is just horrified by us. Just it's outrageous,” said McFaul. “I just was speaking with a former senior government official in Europe just 30 minutes ago, and he's just shocked. He cannot believe this is America. This is not the America he grew up with. But we need to take that shock. We need to take that and translate it into action and fight it bit by bit.”
McFaul was particularly distraught at Trump’s plan to invade Greenland.
“The idea to annex Greenland. There are many other things Trump has done, and his policies. We've talked about him for years that I radically disagree with. But this is the worst, most stupidest, dumbest idea ever by any president,” McFaul told Wallace.
