Al Sharpton referred to President Donald Trump as a “very insecure man” who was “losing as President” on MSNBC Friday.
Sharpton said, “This is all about a very insecure man trying to prove he belonged in the real estate profession–that he belonged with the big guys in New York. Now he’s trying to prove ‘I belong in the White House.’ It has nothing to do with ideology.”
“Donald Trump has always felt people looked down on him, and he’s looking at all this press that says he cannot perform as president. He wants to prove ‘I can perform as president,’ and he’ll throw to Republicans, the Democrats, and everybody else to the side to show ‘I can do this,'” Sharpton added.
Sharpton also said that Trump has had a “losing” presidency so far, and thought that his newfound willingness to make deals with Democrats, as demonstrated by his rumored negotiations on DACA with Democrat leaders Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, is a way to make his presidency more successful.
The Reverend has previously called Trump a “proponent of racism.”
