President Donald Trump and MAGA’s furious reaction to Sen. Jon Ossoff’s (D-GA) takedown of the commander-in-chief and his close aide Natalie Harp has set off his right-wing coalition, a former Republican insider said.
In his Substack and podcast on Tuesday, Steve Schmidt said Ossoff’s comments have sent MAGA into a frenzy.
“What precisely is the relationship?” Schmidt asked. “Is she a young Eva Braun, devoted to her Führer? Is she more like a young Magda Goebbels? What is she exactly? Is she the equivalent of one of Putin’s secret mistresses? Is she our shadow first lady, or as has been described as a human binky, a printer?”
Schmidt commended Ossoff for raising the question.
“This is a 10 out of 10. And it’s true. And they went nuts. Full on nuts,” Schmidt said. “Here is Donald Trump’s version of Goldfinger’s chauffeur and manservant, Oddjob. Steven Cheung, one of the most disgusting of all of the MAGA figures. Hit dog barks, as the old Texas saying goes, and they are screaming all over MAGAland.”
Schmidt pointed to why the move has aggravated MAGA.
“But what is true today is always the case that MAGA is fueled by victimization,” he explained. “Each day that Trump can portray himself as a victim is a winning day for MAGA. Because though they are not a cargo cult, they are a victim cult. And now Trump and his young ingénue, his muse, together they are victims.”
Schmidt described how Trump has been convinced of this victimhood, and instead he is “our American Nero, a combination of Caligula and Jeffrey Epstein, an obese, orange-tinted, demented, deranged old man.”
“The President of the United States — the architect of a lost war to Iran. A felon. A sexual predator and deviant. The man who knocked down the White House,” Schmidt added. “Remember, he’s no victim. The next time Jon Ossoff tells the truth about him. And by the way, what a breath of fresh air that is. A Democrat who’s completely, absolutely, completely unafraid. He looks to me like a leader, maybe even a president.”
