New Hampshire Republican Gov. Chris Sununu says he thinks failed former president Donald Trump will say or do anything in a desperate attempt to win the 2024 election for the purpose of avoiding prison.
Speaking with CNN host Abby Phillip, Sununu remarked, “Well, look, look, obviously, I have no problem with the National Anthem or who sings it,” the governor said. “But, let’s cut to the chase: Donald Trump’s a few fries short of a Happy Meal.”
“We all know that. So, it shouldn’t surprise anybody when he says or does something stupid.”
Noting that Trump had called January 6 defendants “hostages” and not “prisoners,” Sununu remarked, “He’s going to do anything he can to talk about the past, relitigate the past, fire up his ultra base of 30%-32% that probably isn’t going to move from him and really remind him why he’s going to stick with them and he’s going to stick with him.”
The governor added, If we look at the polls remember a third of his voters said they would consider someone else. He knows he could be in trouble if this gets down to a one-on-one race. So his only path is to rile up his base with stunts like that.”
Sununu also said he believes that Trump is avoiding the GOP presidential debates because he’s afraid.
“I got to tell you, Trump is scared. He’s scared to death that someone is going to call him on his record for not getting stuff done.
“He’s scared to death that these Republicans know his record better than even he does.”
