Kelly: Trump is “acting like a cornered animal. You know, when you feel like you're cornered and things are out of control, you lash out. You lash out at your most ardent supporters and treat them like they're the enemy.”

MEGYN KELLY (HOST): I don't know what he's doing, but the president is spiraling downward in his poll numbers. He is on a downward spiral now. We'll talk about in a minute what's happening with the white working class. That's Trump's base, and he's now underwater with them. We saw one poll about seven to 10 days ago showing it, and now there's another. There's no question. He's collapsed now with the white working class. My friends, that's it. Other than Fox News boomers, there's no one left. There's no one left in the original MAGA coalition.
White working class? I really look forward to the people who purport to speak for the white working class, people who have written whole books about the working class and what's important to them, people who have been ripping on the so-called podcast class for being critical of this war and how they're completely irrelevant and no one listens to them. I really look forward to those people updating their reporting to tell us what's actually happening among the Trump base now.
Because they want him to focus on the economy, on inflation, not on Iran. That's what they want. They don't give two shits about the Strait of Hormuz, about Kharg Island, about blockades in the Middle East. They care about their pocketbooks and being able to pay their mortgages and their grocery bills and their car payment without getting that sickening feeling in their stomach. They don't have unlimited funds.
...
KELLY: It would do him very, very well to remember not the people who buy the buildings from him, but the people who build them. That was always Trump's magic gift. It was his special sauce. It was like the thing that made him invincible, is that he came from money, but he could understand and relate to the working class. And they loved him for it. Get back to that for the love of God. Stop waking up thinking about how you can bomb the Iranians, send troops in on the ground, and offend 1.4 billion Christians across the country and the world, OK?
I just -- I don't know what he's doing. I don't know why he's doing this other than he's acting like a cornered animal. You know, when you feel like you're cornered and things are out of control, you lash out. You lash out at your most ardent supporters and treat them like they're the enemy. You lash out at a bunch of Catholics on and immediately after Easter and also Orthodox Easter, and you continue to ratchet up the rhetoric, like saying you're going to do something like bomb Iran's desalinization plants, which he's doing again, raising that, as though that would be an acceptable means of upping the ante if he doesn't get what he wants. It's not OK.
So the president's on a downward spiral, and I think it's because he listened to the wrong person, Bibi Netanyahu. He believed his lies over the objections of the vice president, the secretary of state, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He knows that it's his decision that got us here based on faulty intelligence, which was manipulated by Netanyahu and who tried to sell it to president after president after president, Trump's just the first one who bought it. And so he's probably feeling embarrassed by that. He doesn't like being attacked by Pope Leo. I get that. But you don't -- the answer is not to blaspheme an entire faith. The answer is never really to blaspheme an entire faith or double down on your attacks against Christians.
