Jen Psaki warns Trump 'knows he's losing' — and even 'spineless' Congress will turn on him #RawStory

President Donald Trump is deteriorating worse than ever, MS NOW's Jen Psaki argued on Thursday evening, and it's obvious in the ways that he is lashing out at anyone and everyone — even right-leaning people and organizations.

"Just two days ago, Trump attacked the conservative think tank the Cato Institute, claiming they, quote, 'hate Trump,'" said Psaki, a former press secretary for the Biden administration. "Yesterday, he even went after Fox News for having the audacity to cover California Democratic candidate Tom Steyer's gubernatorial campaign. How dare they? And even with all the new fights, Trump is picking, he still somehow finds time to continue his many other wildly unproductive and unpresidential ongoing feuds."

For instance, she said, "Trump spent part of his day today drafting multiple lengthy screeds attacking the judge overseeing the case against his White House ballroom renovations ... He's renewed his threats to fire Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. Senator Thom Tillis has already said that if Trump fires Powell, he, as in Tillis, will block any new Fed nominee Trump tries to appoint. But Trump has threatened to fire him anyway, and he seems genuinely confused about the fact that Thom Tillis has any power at all, given Trump doesn't seem to be aware that Thom Tillis is still a United States Senator.".....

"His approval rating is cratered," said Psaki. "He's fallen below 40 percent in nearly every poll taken over the last month. Look at those numbers. He's hovering in the 30s. Democrats look poised to win back the House of Representatives and maybe even the Senate, too. That seems recently to be a possibility. I mean, yesterday we got first-quarter fundraising numbers for all of the major Senate candidates running this year. Just look at that chart on your screen. Of the top 10 candidates, just one, the little red block in the middle, is a Republican, and red-state Democrats in places like Texas, Alaska and Ohio — states, by the way, that would represent flips in Senate seats, are bringing in some of the largest fundraising hauls."
