Rachel Maddow argued Wednesday that Donald Trump has, since returning to the White House, “devolved in his own ability to communicate,” describing the president as “emotionally incontinent.”

Speaking with fellow MS NOW host Nicolle Wallace, Maddow suggested Trump can now no longer “find the words that are supposed to go together to make the nouns” but that he also “can’t form a political concept.”
She pointed to Trump’s attempted tanking of new housing legislation as an example. “Republicans want one concrete thing to run on that’s not taking away everybody’s health insurance,” Maddow said. “Trump realizes, ‘Wait a second, that’s not about me,’ and so therefore he has to get rid of it.”
Maddow suggested Trump “could be a little strategic before, but he’s become so, I think, emotionally incontinent that he can’t control his own feelings enough to make politically savvy decisions.”

As a result, she argued, Republicans now have to “make politics around him rather than through him, like they used to be able to do,” meaning Trump is “the biggest bulwark between them and potential electoral success in November.”
Maddow added, “They have to figure out how to contend with that, and I think that’s why they’re such a mess right now.”
