“I guarantee you something, and I know this: In five or 10 years, there won’t be a single person left in this country that will ever admit to supporting Donald Trump, except for those that have their stuff all over Twitter,” said Kinzinger in an interview with MS NOW’s Nicolle Wallace.
Kinzinger, a frequent Trump critic since 2020, backed his prediction up by citing the rate of Trump’s “spiraling” thus far in his second term, adding that it’s “just going to increase.”
Wallace teed up Kinzinger’s appearance on her program by highlighting a clip of Trump declaring that he was “much younger” than those in a Florida crowd on Friday. She also pointed to the president taking to social media on Friday to share an AI-generated image of himself shirtless in a bathing suit while kicking back with Cabinet members in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
“Eventually, people are going to be like, ‘We’ve had enough,’” said Kinzinger of the president’s “spiraling” behavior.
Kinzinger — one of two Republicans who served on the House select committee on the Jan. 6, 2021, attack — said that while he can say “we told you so” to Trump supporters due to the case the panel made against the president years ago, he said he remains “heartbroken” that viewers of Fox News (which didn’t air its hearings live) are told that everything is “fine” and “great” with Trump, especially in the midst of his unpopular Iran war.
