Former RNC Chairman Michael Steele referred to former President Donald Trump as a “visceral animal” for attacking judges and promoting a video of President Joe Biden hogtied.
During a panel discussion on MSNBC, Trump’s recent attacks Judge Juan Merchan and his daughter became the center of the conversation. Merchan is overseeing Trump’s hush money criminal case scheduled for next month in New York.
Merchan recently placed a gag order on Trump but did not include himself or his daughter in that order. Trump has used the loophole in recent days to bash the judge and his family for ruling against him.
Moreover, on Friday Trump posted a video of a supporter’s truck on Truth Social with a vehicle graphic on a pick-up truck tailgate depicting Biden was hogtied in the back of the vehicle. Steele claimed that Trump lacks the ability to think before he speaks and said he 'is a visceral animal political and in business.'
That that concept is way above Donald Trump’s pay grade, or I think intellectual capacity because he’s a visceral animal politically and in business. I mean, he feels that what he says is truth. And I think that is part of the problem in this environment is he thinks it’s truth what he’s saying. The court system wants to give him the latitude that they would give folks out there to, you know, not stifle their free speech. But he has shown his capacity to not give a damn about that. And so it still amazes me how much the system bends itself over backwards…Tuesday’s order did not mention Merchan and his family members, a loophole that Trump seized on Wednesday. So you’re sitting there going, don’t you know who’s sitting in front of you?
