"The real D-Day was all about us supporting our allies to defeat a common enemy ... this administration has no real allies anymore," the MS NOW host notes The post Rachel Maddow Berates Trump for Latest Moves Against Iran and Canada: ‘Incompetence Has Consequences’ appeared first on TheWrap .
MS NOW host Rachel Maddow expressed her disapproval of President Trump's recent actions targeting Iran and Canada, emphasizing that "incompetence has consequences." During her Monday night segment, Maddow recounted the administration's plan to wage economic warfare against Iran due to their inability to find viable military options in their ongoing conflict.
She criticized Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent for their "economic D-Day" declaration, remarking that the U.S. has no genuine allies left to support them in combatting Iran.
Maddow questioned the rationale behind the administration's threats against countries aiding Iran, particularly Russia, and noted that Trump's dependence on Russia's dictator further undermines the U.S.'s leadership. She further accused Trump of initiating a trade dispute with Canada, a country historically regarded as America's closest ally, in an attempt to divert attention from the "catastrophe in this Iran War of choice."
Maddow highlighted the increasing disconnect between Trump's actions and public opinion, noting that the president has a negative approval rating in 47 out of 50 U.S. states. She also praised Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney for standing up to Trump's economic threats, drawing a contrast between Carney's growing popularity in Canada and Trump's waning influence among American voters. Maddow reinforced her point with the declaration, "Incompetence has consequences."
