Former Trump White House lawyer Ty Cobb on Thursday likened Donald Trump to “a 2-year-old who lost his toy” as he warned about the president’s latest election fraud claims.
Cobb pointed to Trump’s rejected efforts to curb mail-in voting, his attempts to pressure the Postal Service over mail ballots, and what he described as attempts by Trump allies including MAGA flamethrower Steve Bannon and acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to normalize the prospect of troops and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents at polling places.
Then he offered a striking analogy.
“You know, I think it’s important that people tonight, as they look at the podium surrounding the president, they should really look at it as a crib.”
Trump is “a 2-year-old who lost his toy,” said Cobb. “The most grievous thing that ever happened to him was he lost an election,” he continued. “As a malignant narcissist, he just can’t abide that.”
He then added that Trump is “going to fight it with every lie that he can.”
