Fifty million Americans or more out there believe that he is coming to office by fraud. It seems to me the Democratic Party has a strong interest in pushing back on that theory.
Trust in our institutions has plunged over the last 20, 30 years. It started before Donald Trump got to office, but he has accelerated the downward spiral.
Never before has the opposition undermined the legitimacy of a new President before he has even taken office to anything like this degree or in this fashion.
I think he's become much more erratic. But these rallies really are obscene. We are, as I said, staggering from one obscenity to the next as a people.
