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.
I think it’s more leftist than liberals.
Its called Trump Derangement Syndrome, and it disproportionately afflicts very high paid celebrities and “journalists” who, deep down, know that they are not worth anywhere near what they’re paid, and who also know that if not for blind luck and genetic happenstance bestowing them with looks and/or charisma that allowed them to succeed, that they could never make it in a profession where competence and effort matter. They are also inclined to pontificate about many things, despite being some of the most obtuse ignoramuses on the face of the earth.
Bob Costas is just one shining example of this.
CNN is a mental hospital with a broadcast license.
Bob Costas is a flaming liberal. His eyes reflect deep mental illness. No doubt, he also suffers from short-man syndrome.
Sounds like he’s a pedophile.
Few things are more pathetic than sports "journalists" who never set foot on the field.
Bob, switch to De-Caf, have a seat, and click on that YouTube video of Puppy Bowl 2024. This always lowers your blood pressure.
But clenching your bony fists and stamping your feet like a Mad Leprechaun will only get you stared at and avoided.
He’s not a liberal, he’s a leftist.
Some people believe it, but others do it to further the careers, just like there are people who like Trump, but others say they like him strategically to further their careers.
Bob Costas is an infection and takes every opportunity he gets to remind people of that.
He never was relevant, If he’s retired, who knew. Nobody’s ever going to say, “gee, I wonder whatever happened to Bob Costas?”
Bob is the most disgraceful fake sportscaster libtard agenda pusher in the world
He sounds unhinged. Government Social worker needs to pay him a visit.
Bob Costas, now THERE is a fellow that speaks with a great deal of authority on anything concerning Donald Trump - NOT!
If there is such a thing as Trump Derangement Syndrome virus, Bob Costas must be darned near Patient Zero. Fortunately, along with the progression of the syndrome, his credibility are diminished proportionately.
Whatever floats your boat.
CNN contributor
Any questions?
He now looks like Justin Beiber.
Yep , jealous washed up loser.
well I believe that Trump is Santa. maybe costa has a dyslexia problem.
I cannot stand Bob Costas the Shole at all. He is a loudmouthed moron. He is now and always has been. Whenever he “announces” a game, I mute the television and just watch what is happening.
