Remember when Democrats actually had leaders worth respecting? I’m talking about people who could debate ideas without screaming. Leaders who understood basic economics. Politicians who didn’t embarrass themselves every time they opened their mouths.

What happens when a major political party loses its compass entirely? The warning signs become impossible to ignore. Just look at who they’re putting in front of cameras these days. It’s like watching a slow-motion train wreck.

President Trump, speaking on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” Tuesday, offered a blunt assessment of the Democratic Party’s current trajectory. And let me tell you, what he said wasn’t just political theater. It was a diagnosis of a party in freefall. “The Democrat Party is self-destructing,” Trump declared, before zeroing in on a particularly striking example of this decline.

A Party in Freefall

The president’s focus turned to Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), whom he identified as emblematic of the party’s deteriorating standards. Trump didn’t mince words in his evaluation. Actually, he went straight for the jugular.

From ‘Breitbart’:

Trump also contrasted his standing to that of the Democratic Party, noting that Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) was one of the party’s leaders…

“When you have low-IQ people like Crockett, I wonder if she’s any relation to the late, great Davy Crockett, who is a great, great, great gentleman. I wonder if she’s got any relationship to Davy Crockett, the great old Davy Crockett. But you have this woman, Crockett. She’s a very low-IQ person. Somebody said the other day she’s one of the leaders of the party. I said, you’ve got to be kidding.”

Ouch. But honestly, can you blame him? Think about that for a second. Davy Crockett – American hero, frontier legend, died defending the Alamo. This Crockett? Well, she’s apparently what passes for Democratic leadership these days. The name connection makes it even more tragic. Our ancestors would be spinning in their graves.

When Derangement Defines Strategy

Trump’s critique extended beyond individual figures to diagnose a systemic problem plaguing Democrats. “They have Trump Derangement Syndrome so bad that they can’t walk. They can’t talk. They don’t know where they’re going,” he explained.

And it’s not just the newcomers. Even established figures like Chuck Schumer haven’t escaped this spiral. “Schumer is finished,” Trump observed. “I watched him the other day. He’s lost all of his confidence.”

Here’s what’s really happening: This obsession with opposing Trump has broken their brains. It’s consumed their ability to function. They can’t even pick decent leaders anymore. While Trump points to his electoral success—winning every swing state, securing the popular vote “by millions,” and dominating county-level results 2,750 to 502—Democrats remain trapped in a cycle of rage.

When a major American political party elevates individuals Trump characterizes as “low-IQ” to leadership positions, it signals more than political disagreement. We’re watching a fundamental breakdown in standards. The contrast between historical Democratic leaders and today’s spokespersons? It’s not just striking—it’s downright depressing.

Ask yourself: Is this really the best Democrats can do? Because if Jasmine Crockett represents their future, America deserves—no, desperately needs—better than leadership chosen for volume rather than wisdom.
