Maddow mentioned:
Barring Kim Jong-un like stepping down and apologizing. That is perhaps the one factor you’d congratulate him for. In any other case, don’t congratulate. Standing order in the case of the dictator of North Korea. However there’s Trump. Warmly congratulating Kim Jong-un and misspelling it within the meantime. And you recognize, in a standard political world someplace between you deciding to congratulate the North Korean dictator and also you misspelling that congratulations, someplace between there, the concept of you as presidential materials would love shred itself and blow away on the median of a ten-lane freeway. However as a substitute, he’s nonetheless the entrance runner of the Republican Social gathering’s nominating contest for 2024. Don’t congratulate.
And all the opposite candidates in that race, and there are numerous of them now, they’re all scuffling with what to do even with one thing that dangerous. With one thing that clearly flawed. Even with this man issuing heat congratulations to the North Korean dictator. Florida governor Ron DeSantis, for instance, he was requested about this and he managed to say that he was, quote, shocked to see that congratulations from former president Trump for the dictator of North Korea. He mentioned he was shocked. Stunned, actually? I imply, Trump expressing heat misspelled congratulations to the North Korean dictator is a variety of issues, however is it stunning, actually? You actually didn’t see that coming? You didn’t see that precise factor from him earlier than?
Maddow’s broader level was that Republicans are repeating all the identical errors that handed Trump the social gathering’s nomination in 2016. The Republican Social gathering is so afraid to problem and name Trump out that they fake to feign shock when he buddies up with the dictator in North Korea.
The extra issues change. The extra they keep the identical.
Republicans are nonetheless petrified of Donald Trump.
