Former President Donald Trump unleashed a barrage of insults during his recent interview with Dr. Phil, taking aim at his political adversaries such as Adam Schiff (“watermelon head”) and Joe Biden (“very mentally deficient”).
Trump sat down with Dr. Phil McGraw at Mar-a-Lago this week for a comprehensive interview that featured unapologetic jabs at those attempting to disrupt the upcoming election by seeking to incarcerate the former president.
In addition, Trump discussed foreign policy, criticizing the Biden administration for endangering American citizens by mismanaging the Russia-Ukraine conflict and bringing the world to the brink of nuclear war.
(1) His harshest criticism was reserved for Rep. Schiff (D-CA), a leading figure in the Russia collusion allegations.
“I call him watermelon head. He’s got the thinnest neck I’ve ever seen, how it holds up that head. He’s got a neck that’s about a size 6. Very unattractive guy, both inside and outside,” Trump remarked.
“People say, ‘Oh, that’s such a terrible thing to say.’ That’s okay. Very unattractive guy. Here’s the thing, these are bad people, and it’s not easy to deal with, you know, when you have your kids involved, or your family, your wife, and you read stuff and most of it is untrue, it’s just totally untrue.”
(2) Biden is “very mentally deficient.”
At one point, Trump addressed the issue of foreign countries sending their prisoners and undesirables to the U.S. through Biden’s open border policy.
“The United States of America has become a dumping ground because of a very mentally deficient president and it’s not him — I don’t believe it’s him. I do think he knows what’s going on,” Trump stated.
“I think he’s sort of an evil, evil guy, but he’s not at the top of his game and he never was very good at it, if you look at his foreign policy for years and years and years. You look at how bad he was on the crime bill in the 1990s, how he’s been bad at everything.”
(3) The Deep State is “grossly incompetent.”
“We have people running our country who are grossly incompetent, headed up by a president who should never be there,” Trump declared.
(4) “These are evil people. These are sick, evil people.”
“I have a lot of lawyers that are friends and this and that I had probably 25 guys over the course of a couple of months say, ‘Whatever you do, don’t testify, because you’ll say something that’s a little bit off, and you will be indicted for lying, for perjury,” he said.
“These are evil people. These are sick, evil people.”
(5) Trump hinted at “revenge” should he win the November election.
“Well, revenge does take time. And sometimes revenge can be justified, Phil. I have to be honest. Sometimes it can.”
