“Yes, absolutely,” Costas said when asked if he still disapproved of Trump. “He is by far the most disgraceful figure in modern presidential history. He’s only become more disgraceful since 2016 and since 2020. He has a bubbling cauldron of loathsome traits.”
“You have to be in the throes of some sort of toxic delusion and in a toxic cult to believe that Donald Trump has ever been, in any sense, emotionally, psychologically, intellectually or ethically fit to be president of the United States. But his supporters are locked in on that,” he said.
While offering some criticism of Biden, Costas claimed there is no “cult of Joe Biden” and highlighted various issues with Biden’s presidency.
Costas’ remarks stirred controversy and drew attention to his strong political opinions.
