President Donald Trump revealed a new “sign of weakness” following the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday, according to a former administration insider.
Trump claimed during an interview on the CBS News show “60 Minutes” on Sunday that he did not fall while Secret Service agents were trying to escort him out of the Washington Hilton, where the shooting occurred. Instead, Trump argued that Secret Service agents told him to “get down.” Analysts have noted that the video of the event seems to contradict Trump’s description.
Anthony Scaramucci, who served as Trump’s press secretary for 11 days during the first administration, told CNN’s Erin Burnett during an interview on “Erin Burnett OutFront” that Trump’s inability to admit that he fell is a “sign of weakness” costing him supporters.
“First of all, that’s a very stressful situation for the Secret Service and the president. So I want to be very respectful there,” Scaramucci said. “But it looks like he fell, and he would win fans if he just said, ‘Hey, I fell.’ But he spent his whole life doubling down on things like that, never showing any weakness, never apologizing.”
“He’s lost a lot of friends in his life by saying ridiculous things to them about their wives, all kinds of stuff,” he continued. “Never apologizes and it’s a sign of weakness, in my opinion, when you can’t admit that, ‘Hey, on the way out of there, I tripped.’ What is the big deal?”
