Rachel Maddow Calls Out Republican Fake Shock Over Trump Congratulating Kim Jong-un
On March 28, 2018, the President of the United States Donald Trump congratulated North Korean leader Kim Jong-un for his recent victory in the elections. This came as a surprise to many people around the world, and to many of Trump’s supporters. However, it was not a surprise to Rachel Maddow, a political commentator and host of The Rachel Maddow Show.
Maddow called out the Republican Party and Trump’s supporters for their fake shock over his congratulatory message to Kim Jong-un. Maddow argued that Trump’s comments are not just surprising, but they betray a willingness to abandon American values and embrace authoritarianism.
Maddow further noted that Trump’s comments were not surprising and that his supporters’ feigned shock is a political ploy. Maddow argues that the Republican Party and Trump’s supporters are cynically using this issue to distract from the more serious issues facing the country. Additionally, Maddow noted that this kind of calculated indignation is what is pushing the country to the brink of collapse.
Maddow further observed that Trump’s congratulatory messages are less about the politics of North Korea and more about Trump’s need for validation. Maddow commented that Trump is not interested in the people of North Korea or their principles but instead is looking for a win to score points with his base.
Maddow then went on to explain the history of American politics, noting that what Trump did is not new. Maddow commented that American politicians have been flirting with authoritarianism for years. Maddow observed that “We’ve come to accept a type of politics where lying and obfuscation are common currency.”
Maddow also addressed the question of whether Trump’s comments are anti-American or unpatriotic. Maddow commented that these types of comments cannot be ignored. Maddow further noted that when a President congratulates a dictator and praises his regime, it has real-world consequences.
Maddow concluded by urging the American people to hold their leaders accountable for their actions. Maddow observed that democracy was not a given and that it was up to the people to stand up and fight for their rights.
In conclusion, Maddow’s comments are a reminder that the political climate in America has changed dramatically in recent years. Maddow noted that what Trump said was not surprising and that his supporters’ fake shock is a political ploy. Maddow also observed that when a President congratulates a dictator and praises his regime, it has real-world consequences. Maddow’s comments also serve as a call to action for the American people to stand up and fight for their rights.
