Former Donald Trump Attorney General Bill Barr didn’t mince words when it came to his take on his former boss’s second indictment on Sunday, and by Monday morning, the hosts of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” were floored.
During an appearance on CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday, Barr argued that “this is not a circumstance in which (Trump) is a victim or that this is too much of a government outreach,” because “he brought this whole problem on himself.” provoked”. Among other things, he added that Trump is “a consummate narcissist” who “demonstrates continued reckless behavior.”
“He’s a very petty person who will always put his interests ahead of the country’s,” Barr said. His personal satisfaction of his, you know, his ego. But our country can’t, you know, can’t be a therapy session for you know, a troubled man like this.”
After the clips, “Morning Joe” hosts were almost stunned by how blunt Trump’s former ally was.
“Oh my god, that’s worse than I thought!” Mika Brzezinski marveled, pointing out just how close Barr was to Trump, and thus how well he knows the twice-deposed former president.
“I think the biggest takeaway here is that this must be so bad, he has nowhere else to go — Bill Barr — than to tell the exact truth,” Brzezinski added. “That this man, I think the word he used is ‘toast’.”
Granted, this isn’t the first time Barr has spoken out about Trump’s plight in the second indictment. Just a week prior to his appearance on “Face the Nation,” Barr did indeed say that Trump is “toast” if even part of the indictment is true.

“It’s very, very damned,” he said said at the time.
