Ex-Official Says Trump Is Failing To Sell His Supporters On These Controversial Moves

Miles Taylor explained why it's all "falling apart" for the president.
An ex-Homeland Security official under Donald Trump’s first term sounded off on Tuesday over the president’s controversial boat strike campaign in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific Ocean.
Miles Taylor, who notably wrote an “anonymous” op-ed against Trump in 2018, told MS NOW’s Nicolle Wallace that the administration likes the “imagery” of the strikes, one of which included a deadly “double tap” strike that has sparked backlash from lawmakers and alarmed legal experts.
“I think that they feel like they can attack these boats and it sends some sort of message of deterrence against anyone who would cross Trump, not just drug dealers but any other threats he might face,” said Taylor, who has become a target of the president’s second-term revenge tour.
“But I’ll tell you this, Nicolle — even some of the president’s own close allies are now breaking with him over this.”
Taylor noted that far-right conspiracy theorist and longtime Trump ally Laura Loomer recently pointed out on social media that the majority of drugs coming out of Venezuela aren’t fentanyl.
