Editor's Note: Steve Schmidt is one of the founding members of the Lincoln Project. He is a communications and public affairs strategist who has worked on several Republican campaigns, including John McCain's 2008 bid for the White House, and he is now a regular political contributor to MSNBC.
On Wednesday night, with six days remaining until the deadline to cast ballots for this year's presidential election, Schmidt continued his assault on President Donald Trump over a series of six tweets. MaxNewsToday has assembled these tweets and reprinted them as one easy-to-read op-ed for our ongoing segment, Schmidt Storm. It has been edited for grammar and clarity.
Donald, do not be jealous of Covid’s ratings.
It can’t spread without you. You are a team. Can I tell you a secret? Your rallies aren’t working. People don’t like them. Everywhere you go, the vast majority of people see you and a cult of fools endangering their families, neighbors, colleagues and communities.
It’s pushing your numbers down. Check mate.
What made you is suffocating you. In a manner of speaking, your campaign is choking and asphyxiated because of Covid. It will be over soon. The humiliation is at hand.
There is so much coverage about all the people stranded in the cold in Nebraska. The police called it a shit-show! Can you believe that? What better way for your marks to show devotion to you than by suffering a little.
Every GOP senator is trying to scrape you and your rotten family off their shoes. They can’t though. The stench will always be there. Your stench. I’m going to enjoy watching you shrink this week. Soon, you will be completely melted away. America’s greatest failure, worst president and biggest loser.
One day, that will be your obituary. After a long and lonely seclusion, there will be no honor or even hollow tributes to you. There will only be the story of a low and crooked man who defiled America and caused mass death until he was tossed out on his ass.
You are a disgrace. Did you think Marc Kasowitz would back us down? No one is afraid of you. Everyone is laughing.
Everyone.
