Bob Costas Claims Trump Is ‘the Most Disgraceful Figure’ in History
Washington Examiner ^ | February 25, 2024 | Jenny Goldsberry

CNN contributor Bob Costas shared a brutal analysis of former President Donald Trump in a rant on the network on Saturday.

Costas was asked to share his thoughts on Trump while appearing on Smerconish. His subsequent rant was not limited to just the former president, but also his fans.

“He is by far the most disgraceful figure in modern presidential history. He‘s only become more disgraceful since 2016, and since 2020 he has a bubbling cauldron of loathsome traits,” Costas said of Trump. “You have to be in the throes of some sort of toxic delusion in a toxic cult to believe that Donald Trump has ever been, in any sense, emotionally, psychologically, intellectually, or ethically fit to be president of the United States. But his supporters are locked in on that.”

The political analysis is a unique glimpse into the Emmy-winning sportscaster, who is currently contracted with TBS as a play-by-play baseball announcer, and HBO Sports with a quarterly interview series. Despite his strong opinion of Trump, he acknowledged that President Joe Biden does not have a “cult” following. Costas seemed discouraging of Biden running a second time, as Biden had signaled he would be a one-term president during his first campaign.

“And at best, he can squeak by Trump. That‘s at best,” Costas said of Biden. “Or, he could lose to Trump and subject the nation to four more years of this kind of ongoing insanity. Or if he squeaked by, it’s very likely that he cannot complete his second term. He’ll be 86 at the end of it.”

Trump is fresh off from winning the South Carolina Republican Primary on Saturday. Biden also swept the Democratic Primary weeks ago, to a smaller voter turnout.

Who is he trying to impress? Most of his sports audience are alpha males who voted for Trump.They came there to hear the scores, not to be lectured they are assholes.

That wouldn’t surprise me at all. The fact that Bob Costas is screaming about Donald Trump tells me Bob has done some nefarious deeds.

Back in the day, I was working at a restaurant/sports bar with a big dish satellite, and it got a raw feed, and during the 88 Olympics, Costas went to a commercial, but since the restaurant got the raw feed, everybody in the restaurant saw Costas, pull from his desk, a big vanity mirror, to check his bald spot.

Everybody laughed.

“He is by far the most disgraceful figure in modern presidential history.

Worse than LBJ, whose disastrous conduct of the Vietnam War cost thousands of American lives and whose disastrous War on Poverty we are still paying for today.

Worse than Bill Clinton, who was credibly accused of rape, sold technology to theChinese, openly sold pardons before leaving the White House, and foisted his harridan wife on us for another two decades.

And worse than obama, who did everything he could to create a nuclear Iran, caused a disaster in Libya, and pushed the distastrous ACA on us.

Yeah, President Trump was so horrible.

“You have to be in the throes of some sort of toxic delusion in a toxic cult to believe that Donald Trump has ever been, in any sense, emotionally, psychologically, intellectually, or ethically fit to be president of the United States.


So, roughly half of the country is deluded in a toxic cult. You know the half that can, on a good day, define ‘woman’, believes that even on a good day, men cannot give birth, and believes that a President who didn’t get us involved a war during his four years in office was a fit President.

Say it often enough and the Leftists will believe anything. That’s their strategy.

Bob wins a slightly used cigar for that statement.

Even as a sportscaster, Costas was an arrogant little prick

What is this guy’s problem?

Well, look at the bright side... what PDJT has done is let these people very clearly expose themselves for exactly who they are. Makes it very simple for who to pay attention to and who not to.

By the way, someone should explain to Costas what the 9th Commandment says... https://biblehub.com/exodus/20-16.htm
