In a recent appearance on MSNBC’s “Deadline,” former New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu made headlines by labeling President Donald Trump a “traitor to this country.”
Landrieu expressed deep disappointment in America’s business leaders, questioning whether they truly wish to live in a nation where billionaire executives fear speaking out due to potential political repercussions. He criticized this environment, asking, “What the hell is going on in this country?”
Reflecting on previous warnings about Trump’s potential impact on democracy, Landrieu noted that the President has become more adept at undermining democratic principles over the past four years. He emphasized the urgency of safeguarding the nation and its democratic values, highlighting concerns over Trump’s perceived admiration for authoritarian figures like Russian President Vladimir Putin and his punitive stance toward allies such as Mexico and Canada.
Landrieu’s remarks have sparked discussions across the political spectrum, with supporters and critics alike debating the implications of his statements.
