I’m looking at the coverage here and a primary point seems to be missing. Mika didn’t have a facelift at that time. This is a picture of her that very same day.
So the problem isn’t that Trump is “pushing back” too hard. It’s that he’s resorting to making up a disgusting deluded lie in order to defame and commit Libel against a journalist. Simply because she had the temerity to engage in this broadcast.
“Everybody in Washington, in the administration, needs to look at this from, I think, a point of view where they’re not lobotomized because you’re sitting in there and you’re so scared of him, and you think you need to suck up to the president,” Brzezinski said. “You need to look at this like any company.”
“Let’s say someone came into NBC and took over NBC, and started tweeting wildly about people’s appearances, bullying people, talking about people in the competition, lying every day, undermining his managers, throwing them under the (bus) — that person would be thrown out,” she continued. “It’s just not normal behavior. In fact, there would be concerns that the person who runs the company is out of his mind.”
Brzezinski continued to sound the alarm that Trump’s behavior had no historical parallel in the U.S., but more closely resembled actions by authoritarian foreign leaders.
“There about these are legitimate concerns at this point,” she said. “We have never seen anything like this before. Is there any precedent in history, in the United States of America? Yes, there may be precedent in other countries — that’s not a good sign.”
Let’s turn this around and make it about what Mika actually said, because she had an absolute point. In fact, her point predicts Trump’s reaction to her point and proves it even more valid. We should be wondering if he’s “Out of his Mind” because he absolutely does behave like it.
