An ex-prosecutor said that President Donald Trump\u2019s lingering obsession with claiming elections were stolen reflects \u201cferrets\u201d in his head having their way with him.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is currently affecting what he does and government policy,\u201d former deputy assistant attorney general Harry Litman told conservative commentator Charlie Sykes on Tuesday. \u201cIt’s not just a stray fit of temper.\u201d<\/p>\n

Worse, prior to Sykes playing a clip of Trump storming out of his interview with NBC News reporter Kristen Welker, he commented that \u201cthe ferrets are getting more rabid.\u201d<\/p>\n

“He really looked to me like [he was] on the edge of a stroke,\u201d Litman said.<\/p>\n

Litman explained that \u201cwhen he’s challenged, [Trump] literally takes his ball and goes home. He’s such an eight-year-old spoiled boy.”<\/p>\n

“By now you would think he would have the wherewithal \u2014 and what he does is try to interrupt, interrupt \u2014 but at that point, when you’re in that interview and you storm out and you are the president of the United States, it’s clear you’re the one who looks weak, the thing that he tries always to avoid. So, for all those reasons, I thought it was a very telling exchange, even better sort of, you know, in the flesh, as it were,” Litman added.<\/p>\n

Sykes added that Trump became angry at Welker because she dare to ask him for evidence to his claim that the California elections are being stolen. Instead of providing evidence, Trump attacked Welker as corrupt and stupid.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat a flaming jerk is the president of the United States,\u201d Litman observed. \u201cYou know, stunning, really.\u201d<\/p>\n

Similar to Sykes and Litman, MS NOW commentator Matthew Bartlett claimed that Trump\u2019s decision to walk out of the Welker interview reveals that he is in decline \u2014 specifically, political decline.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn Sunday, President Trump quit an interview with Kristen Welker of \u2018Meet the Press\u2019 after becoming frustrated as he faced challenging questions,\u201d MS NOW\u2019s Matthew Bartlett wrote on Monday. \u201cFighting with the media is nothing new for the president, but the notion of giving up midway through when things get tough may be more indicative of Trump\u2019s current mindset and emblematic of his second presidency.\u201d<\/p>\n

After describing how Trump has neglected to focus on the affordability issues that are top of mind for most Americans, and instead pursued a far right agenda of mass deportations, gutting government and multiple wars, Bartlett argued that Trump may be costing his party the midterm elections.<\/p>\n

Bartlett continued, \u201cIn a matter of months, attention will soon move from the White House to the campaign trail, and even successful presidents struggle to keep the spotlight off their potential successors. Candidates from both parties will have a chance to define themselves and offer their ideas on everything from artificial intelligence to taxes to war and peace. America\u2019s next act will be written not in the Oval Office or the halls of Congress, but in the town halls and events across America.\u201d<\/p>\n
