Having served as an adviser both George W. Bush and John McCain, Steve Schmidt left the Republican party in 2018 calling it 'fully the party of Trump.'
Former Republican strategist Steve Schmidt told MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace on Monday that President Donald Trump's recent military actions in Iran will lead to"American blood" being spilled. Schmidt also referred to the president as"selfish" and"incompetent."
"We have watched, over the last 20 years, a Republican administration that we worked for take down the Iraqi regime with no plan for what came afterward," Schmidt said."We watched the Obama administration do exactly the same thing in Libya with disastrous consequences. And now, again, we see a president who is by orders of magnitude more incompetent by the most incompetent officials in either administration do the same.
The Trump-authorized drone strike that killed Iranian general Qassem Soleimani last week has prompted escalating tensions between the U.S. and Iran. Intelligence provided to the White House indicated that Soleimani was planning attacks against American interests, leading the Trump administration to refer to Soleimani's death as a"preemptive strike." Iran has sworn to retaliate against the U.S. but has not indicated how they intend to do so.
Ex-GOP adviser Steve Schmidt said Monday on MSNBC that President Donald Trump's military actions against Iran were"selfish.
