Col. Alexander Vindman said Thursday on MSNBC\u2019s \u201cDeadline\u201d that former President Donald Trump has \u201cspiraled down\u201d mentally and therefore was not a viable candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>During an interview on Fox News with Sean Hannity, Trump said, \u201cI\u00a0think in 100 years people are going to look back, and they\u2019re going to say how did we stand back and NATO stand back which in many ways I\u2019ve called a paper tiger. Don\u2019t forget. I rebuilt NATO. They treated us very badly on trade. We changed a lot of that around, but they were very tough on trade.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Vindman said, \u201cHonestly, it was word vomit, is what we heard, what that clip showed. It\u2019s shocking that he didn\u2019t have the intellect, the intelligence to have the self-preservation to criticize somebody that the vast majority of the American public despises and identifies as a barbarian, as a war criminal. So, I mean, he\u2019s always been his own worst enemy, and he continues to do so now.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>He added, \u201cI think he\u2019s incapable of leading, he was incapable of leading while in government, and I think he\u2019s devolved. I guess my question is, \u2018Does he have the faculties?\u2019 As bad as he was in the first Trump administration, he seems to have spiraled down. I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s, you know \u2014 if age or whatever it is, that it\u2019s getting to him now, that he\u2019s really incapable of piecing together coherent thoughts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vindman concluded, \u201cHe is a coward. He can\u2019t simply call Putin out for his violent, vile attacks on Ukraine, on the innocent Ukrainian people. I don\u2019t see how he could possibly be a viable contender for 2024. I don\u2019t believe he is. He might still be popular in the Republican Party, but when it comes to the general election, he\u2019s nonviable. He\u2019s done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Pam Key on Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pamkeyNEN\">@pamkeyNEN<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former National Security Council Director for European Affairs U.S. Army Lt.
