Steve Schmidt, an ex-Republican strategist who worked for President George W. Bush and the late Senator John McCain, has slammed President Donald Trump and his administration for its "corruption."

"The corruption is just unbelievable. And if you look back to the Republican convention, Joe, when we talked about it at the time, the chants of lock them up—what I said about it at the time was it was banana republicanism," Schmidt told MSNBC host Joe Scarborough during his Morning Joe show on Monday.

"And the descent from the American republican into banana republic territory with all of this stuff has just been so stunningly fast, and the lack of outrage by elected members of Congress properly exercising their constitutional oversight responsibilities is just alarming," said Schmidt, who now identifies as an independent.

This is the fool that said, a few days before the 2016 election, that Trump should be working on his concession speech.

“What corruption?”

No wonder we, as a country, are such a mess. Any claim, if it hurts President Trump in any way, is accepted without scrutiny, and taken as fact. Any claim that would help President Trump in any way, is ruled out as false, even if proven to be true.

As I have commented before: Bush or McCain will NEVER be on Mt. Rushmore. Maybe it’s a good thing Trump is carving a new path.

So states a spokesperson for the ‘country club’. It's written in their bylaws - ‘What you stand for isn't as important as carrying yourself with the proper decorum, and avoiding having too much contact with the riff-raff’.
