Trump loyalist bashes him for the first time as 'a traitor' and a complete idiot: book

[William769]

A Donald Trump loyalist came forward for the first time to bash him in Jonathan Karl's new book.

In an interview with MSNBC's Jen Psaki, the ABC News reporter revealed that in his book "Tired of Winning," someone who has previously not come out publicly against Trump dropped a bomb on the former president.

"He lacks any shred of human decency, humility or caring," the former White House official told Karl. "He is morally bankrupt, breathtakingly dishonest, lethally incompetent, and stunningly ignorant of virtually anything related to governing, history, geography, human events or world affairs. He is a traitor and a malignancy in the nation, and represents a clear and present danger to our democracy, and the rule of law."

Karl explained that the person was in the West Wing and worked alongside Trump for more than a year at a "high level." The key title is "official," indicating it wasn't a staffer or aide.

1. Hmmmm...

Isn't it odd that they always seem to wait until a book comes out to talk? Hmmmm...🤔

[William769]

2. Money talks.

[Kennah]

33. Our media seems more willing to listen if there's a book to promote

[UTUSN]

7. *EXCELLENT* point!

[UTUSN]

3. So neither Jon KARL or the official are brave to identify. Jon came from NY Post

as he told STEPANOPOULIS today on his latest book peddling tour, "known" Drumpf for 30 years, and as I say is the wingnut heir to Brit HUME who was the wingnut presence at ABC as the consigliere of the BUSH Family Evil Empire, before he/HUME gathered the guts or resentment over being passed over for Anchor to go to his true home/Fox.

Jon only swings to the "Center" in order to go on the talk show circuit when he's got a book.

[William769]

5. Thanks for the info.

[Tree Lady]

4. Gee he thinks that now!

Trump has always been that way.

[RussBLib]

6. the Grand Facade has to break

...the GOP needs to rediscover its soul and get rid of this orange clown.

Judging by this quote, this guy knows Trump pretty well: "He lacks any shred of human decency, humility or caring. He is morally bankrupt, breathtakingly dishonest, lethally incompetent, and stunningly ignorant of virtually anything related to governing, history, geography, human events or world affairs. He is a traitor and a malignancy in the nation, and represents a clear and present danger to our democracy, and the rule of law."

Do tell.

10. The GOP has lost its soul for good.

[Skittles]

18. problem is

that kind of character / behavior seems to be an ASSET for MAGAts, they're DISGUSTING too

[Ferryboat]

25. Nice quote, would be more effective if attributed.

Must feel pretty disgusted make a statement like that.
But is a coward by staying anonymous.

[Shana]

31. Unless he comes out

Publicly and works to reelect Biden its useless. Man up and work to save the country Dude.

[redqueen]

32. 'Man up' is sexist. Also, it could be a woman.

Either way they should come out publicly and speak out against the wannabe dictator.

There's too much at stake.

[sop]

35. That damning quote has been excerpted on several sites today.

It pretty much summarizes what Hillary (and everyone else with any decency, honesty and half a brain) was saying about Trump in 2016. The quote also pretty much explains why Trump's followers voted for him in 2016, 2020 and will do so again in 2024: he is precisely the sort of man they want in charge of this country.

[swong19104]

44. That description of Trump

can be made by any sane person. Who were the sane people at the "official" level in the Trump administration?

[kwolf68]

8. So NO idea who this is

Good quote, but it's useless. Unless the person comes forward.

[SharonClark]

19. Agree.

[2naSalit]

9. He was also on...

With Nicole today and she seemed like she doesn't like him very much. Not sure what the deal was but she interrupted him a lot and it wasn't like her.

[William769]

11. Nicole is a good judge of character.

[SharonClark]

21. Except for all the years she was a Republican

Operative?

[Bumbles]

45. I admire her and respect her now.

Didn't so much when she was Pallin's handler. I wonder how she felt about that "character."

[SharonClark]

20. She was excited to discuss the book and had Carl

on longer than her usual interviews. She didn’t seem hostile to him, she’s not usually hostile to any of her guests, it’s not her style.

[2naSalit]

29. It felt more...

Passive aggressive. Just seemed that way.

[Walleye]

12. Ivanka said what?

[William769]

13. Good one.

[rsdsharp]

14. My guess is Mick Mulvaney.

[sheshe2]

15. So they waited years...

Years to tell us that he is a clear and present danger to us and to the world. Yes, we figured that part out ourselves, yet he hid that information from us. The man, his soldiers and devoted flock are insane.

We must stop them before it is too late.

[wiggs]

16. Bolton? But useless if anonymous, doubly so if not on Fox. nt

[RockRaven]

17. So NOT a "loyalist" then...

Do words mean anything anymore in this clickbait era?

[Buns_of_Fire]

22. Maybe it was intended as an endorsement.

The Cletus Squad will pick up on it and brag about it to their friends, neighbors, and other small woodland creatures.

[malaise]

23. And that's barely touching the surface

The Slobfather is an evil fuck
That is all

[brer cat]

24. K&R

[yardwork]

26. This just makes me mad. Some loser just woke up?

They worked closely with Trump FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR - helping to cause heaven knows how much damage - and NOW (just in time for a book deal) they're noticing that Trump is a malignant sociopath?

Sorry. Too little too late.

[no_hypocrisy]

27. Take a ticket and get on the end of the line.

[Freethinker65]

28. Aren't those the qualities a Trump loyalist admires?

The people propping Trump up are quite happy with those characteristics because they can exploit those qualities and behaviors to destroy democracy while enriching themselves, which is the end goal.

[mwb970]

30. I couldn't have described him better myself.

Although he also an insufferable ahole.

[Moostache]

34. Spot on accurate depiction of the thing

I called out Trump as the threat to the Republic he is all the way back in 2015 on that goddamn escalator ride with the paid audience and calling Mexicans rapists. NOTHING has changed about the pile of human feces waiting to be shat out since that day. If anything, he is just worse by %'s every day.

I have stated before and I will reiterate here...there has NEVER been another human being in my life that I have loathed more than 2-scoops. If he dies, I pray its today (literally EVERY morning), secure in the knowledge that it will be sooner than later and that on that glorious occasion I will break out the bottle of bubbly that has been chilled since November 2016. I am getting drunk as hell that night and intend to toast that MFer's demise heartily.

[Ferryboat]

37. Nice to know someone else has him in their prayes too.

🙏 please, please, pretty please.

[Martin68]

36. Better late than never. Every loyalist who turns on Dump encourages others to do so.

I’m not saying they are good people - I’m saying it is good for the country and our democracy when they finally come clean.

[Goodheart]

38. Want to read the words of a coward?

I give you:

"He lacks any shred of human decency, humility or caring," the former White House official told Karl. "He is morally bankrupt, breathtakingly dishonest, lethally incompetent, and stunningly ignorant of virtually anything related to governing, history, geography, human events or world affairs. He is a traitor and a malignancy in the nation, and represents a clear and present danger to our democracy, and the rule of law."

Any individual who served in a high ranking capacity and feels that but won't identify himself is chickenshit, in my view. As it stands it's an utterly worthless quote.

[samsingh]

39. only traitors can support this ignorant monster

[keep_left]

40. Speculation is pretty much useless, but I still find myself wondering who this person could be.

This statement in the article doesn't really help narrow it down much; most Trump officials were there more than a year. Of course, then there was Anthony Scaramucci...

Karl explained that the person was in the West Wing and worked alongside Trump for more than a year at a "high level." The key title is "official," indicating it wasn't a staffer or aide.

I'm wondering if it's one of the Trump officials who flamed out spectacularly like Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. Or maybe it's someone with a lower profile like Kirstjen Nielsen (Secretary of DHS).

[Warpy]

41. These yellow bellied, lily livered cowards always cash in for years

saving up all the truth they have to tell for some damned book.

I am so sick of these people.

Anyone who was capable of listening to TFG for 15 seconds knew all that stuff. So no, Karl, this should not salve your conscience nor will it save your soul. Or your career.

[lame54]

42. But he would still vote for him

[Woodwizard]

43. Cut from the same cloth.

Just there for the money.

[Poiuyt]

46. Kick for later
