Ex-GOP Official Shreds Trump’s Picks With Withering Metaphor | EUROtoday

Former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan (R) delivered a damning prediction of Donald Trump’s legacy — and slammed who the president-elect has picked for roles in his second time period — throughout an interview with CNN’s Kasie Hunt on Monday morning.

Duncan, a longtime critic of Trump who drew the returning POTUS’ ire for refusing to assist overturn his 2020 election loss, argued that Trump’s legacy “is more built on a Ponzi scheme of populist ideas” in that “every day it’s got to get a little more edgy and a little bit more daring and bombastic.”

And it’s important to “look no further than these nominees to see part of that next step in the Ponzi scheme,” Duncan continued throughout a dialogue that was ostensibly centered on outgoing Sen. Mitt Romney’s (R-Utah) current evaluation that “MAGA is the Republican Party” and criticism of Trump’s political motion.

“If you told me that Donald Trump was building an administration to run a frat house, I’d believe you,” Duncan instructed Hunt in a withering metaphor. “Not necessarily to tackle the global issues that we’re facing, the economic challenges we’re facing. The intensity of the challenges that this country faces, I believe are more serious than Donald Trump is.”

Trump has garnered widespread controversy over a slew of his Cabinet picks.

His first selection for lawyer normal, for instance ― the now-former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz ― withdrew his personal nomination amid additional scrutiny of sexual misconduct claims towards him, which he denied.
