White House counterterrorism director Sebastian Gorka told Newsmax on Monday that President Donald Trump's assertions of running for a third term were just one in a long line of things that he does to expose the "sheer insanity" of those afflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Gorka joined "Rob Schmitt Tonight" on the grounds of the White House one day after Trump told NBC News he plans on being a "two-term president." Meanwhile, Trump's campaign continues to sell "Trump 2028" hats for $50.
"Look, eight years ago, TDS was a joke — Trump Derangement Syndrome. Today, it's worse than ever. It's a psychosis," Gorka said. "So the president likes to demonstrate how insane these people are.
"Whether it was a Cabinet meeting last week where he handed out the 'Trump was right about everything' hats, or whether it's, you know, posts about the Holy Father in the Vatican," Gorka added. "We are demonstrating the sheer insanity of those who don't believe in a very simple thing, Rob: as the president often said, how can you disagree with the concept of making America great again?"
