Former Sen Claire McCaskill (D-Mo) claimed Americans need to currently “acknowledge that Donald Trump knows our country better than we do” following his definitive 2024 political election success over Democratic competitor Kamala Harris.
The president-elect “figured out that anger and, frankly, fear were way more powerful than appealing to people’s better angels,” McCaskill regreted on Wednesday’s program of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
“That anger and fear were going to work in this election, whether you’re afraid of immigrants or afraid of people who are trans, he figured that out,” she proceeded. “And I think we all thought everyone’s better angels would prevail. Turns out the better angels went on vacation when Donald Trump came down the escalator and they haven’t returned.”
“The majority of America believes he was persecuted, not prosecuted,” McCaskill included, referencing Trump’s numerous lawful problems– which will likely vanish when he remains in the White House– and the 34 felony sentences from his hush cash situation.
