‘They know he’s unstable, they know he’s losing it’: Trump’s fans blasted by conservative
Appearing on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Thursday morning, former U.S. Naval War College professor and current Atlantic columnist Tom Nichols expressed his dismay with the MAGA supporters of Donald Trump for not taking American elections seriously.
According to the conservative writer, Trump’s fans are more invested in being entertained than they are in seeing the lives bettered and are happy to gloss over the fact that he is increasingly “unstable.”
Speaking with the “Morning Joe” hosts, he was asked why the election is still “neck and neck” with Vice President Kamala Harris in the polls.

“You know, it’s such a sad question because I think the answer is that, over the past 30, 40 years, there are millions of people who just stopped taking elections seriously,” he grimly admitted.
“There are millions of people who think that what they really want is to renew four years of the Donald Trump show,” he elaborated. “They know he’s unstable, they know he’s weird, they know that he’s losing it. That’s part of his appeal to them that he’s interesting, it’s fun.”
“I think the other thing we really have to understand is that, you know, we talk about polarization, but this is more than polarization,” he added. “This is 60, 70 million people saying, the worst Donald Trump gets, the better. Then when he is elected, that’s really going to discomfort and aggravate and frighten, you know, the other 100 million people in America.”
“Every time I look at this election, I think of the Trump voter some years ago who criticized Trump by saying he’s not hurting the people he’s supposed to be hurting,” he recalled.
