“Left Hook” podcaster Wajahat Ali says aging president Donald Trump is clearly fading fast and likely to leave a terrible mess for others to clean up when he’s gone.
Speaking to former George H.W. Bush field director and Republican strategist Rick Wilson on his Wednesday podcast, Ali said Trump’s Iran war and his countless hits to the U.S. economy are likely to leave chaos, which the elderly president will not have to personally contend with after he makes his final exit.
“[H]e'll just leave behind his mess and have someone else clean it up,” said Ali. “… [H]e's lost his fastball. He's lost his curveball. He was the oldest person to be elected, and it's clear this man is dying before our eyes. His brain is fried. He's ignorant. [And] he's surrounded by reeks, which makes it all the worse.”
Wilson said the sun-downing president will also be sure to reward MAGA youth for their 2024 vote by punching them straight in the face.
“They got a big group of those young men … who thought either this will be funny to elect Trump or it'll be kind of like a ‘f—— you’ to the establishment to elect Trump. Those guys are getting hit right in the face with this thing,” Wilson told Ali, adding that if there ever is a draft it will be “the kids of MAGA voters who go die in Iran.”
“Politically, he underestimated the cost. But as a country, he really underestimated how much people hate this war. I mean, it's bad. And he can't get out,” said Wilson.
Ali and Wilson were particularly furious that Trump would have left the nation in a better place if he’d just run off to play “golf.”
“Folks, if you just think about this, … the last six and a half weeks during this war, suppose he had disappeared and just golfed? Suppose he literally did nothing except golf. Rick, the world and the United States would be in a better off place,” Ali raged. “The economy would be banging. If he literally did nothing.”
