In a recent interview with ABC News, journalist Jonathan Karl highlighted the public’s lack of attention to former President Donald Trump’s transformation. While Trump’s legal troubles have dominated headlines, Karl argues that people have not been fully aware of the extent to which Trump has become detached from reality.
Karl, who is set to release his new book titled “Tired of Winning: Donald Trump and the End of the Grand Old Party” later this month, made these comments during an appearance on Sunday’s broadcast of “This Week.” He emphasized that Trump’s detachment from reality has surpassed even his behavior during his time in the White House.
The journalist also pointed out that Trump’s mounting legal issues have overshadowed the bigger picture. Karl explained that if one were to consider January 2021 as the starting point for a potential Trump presidency in the future, it is evident that he has received a largely free pass. This is due to the focus primarily being on the known criminal cases against him, rather than his current thoughts and actions.
Karl highlighted a recent speech by Trump in Texas where he referred to the individuals who attacked the U.S. Capitol and assaulted police officers as “hostages” instead of prisoners. This example, according to Karl, demonstrates Trump’s distorted perspective on reality.
While President Joe Biden’s age is often a topic of concern, even among Democrats, Karl noted that Trump, who is only a few years younger, has exhibited increasing confusion. The journalist pointed out that Trump frequently confuses basic facts and makes peculiar statements, yet these incidents receive little attention.
Looking ahead to the upcoming primaries, Karl emphasized the need to assess not only Trump’s legal situation but also his current state as a human being. By doing so, the public can gain a better understanding of the potential impact of Trump’s candidacy in the future.
