GOP Strategist Steve Schmidt Rips ‘Imbecile’ Trump For Trade War
Mediaite ^ | April 4, 2018 | Caleb Ecarma

Republican strategist Steve Schmidt tore into Donald Trump while appearing on MSNBC today — calling the president an “imbecile” for his trade wars and adding that he has “no idea what he’s talking about.”

As news circulated this morning that the stock market dropped dramatically after China responded to Trump’s tariffs with trade restrictions of their own, the president denied that there is a “trade war” happening, despite all evidence pointing to the opposite being true.

Schmidt noted this while discussing the issue with a fired-up Stephanie Ruhle this morning:

McCain is a moderate Republican.

Just like Hugo Chavez.

I think he was a McCain guy. Real traitorous schmuck.

He was key in stabbing Palin in the back.

Funny how Schmidt and Nicole Wallace (best known forsetting up the Couric interview for Palin) are the “go-to” Republicans on MSNBC.

Both are RINO scum of the lowest order.

Isn’t Schmidt the guy who basically sabotaged Sarah Palin’s efforts in the 2008 campaign?

Partly right....He ran Mitts campaign in 2008 then switched over to McCain’s campaign where he teamed with Nicole Wallace to undermine Palin and throw McCain under the bus! His objective was to clear the way for Mitt in 2012. Worked that far. but Mitt is unelectable on a National ticket in the US.

Schmidt action’s in 2008 is one of the reasons that I always point to Mitt and claim anything connected to him is a skunk.

And why does anyone pay any attention to Steve “Failure is his middle name” Schmidt?

Yes, this would cause me to ignore him.

Stephen Edward Schmidt (born 1970) is an American communications and public affairs strategist best known for strategic roles on Republican political campaigns including those of George W. Bush, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, and U.S. Senator John McCain.
