Gov. Larry Hogan on Trump: ‘He’s His Own Worst Enemy’

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) is doubling down on his criticism of President Donald Trump’s handling of the coronavirus, insisting the president is “his own worst enemy.”

During an interview on “Good Morning America” on Friday, Hogan reiterated that he has maintained an unbiased view of the president, as he said he has commended him for good work and criticized his administration where they fell short.

According to Hogan, his stance has remained the same since the beginning of the pandemic — he believes the president should focus on listening to the advice given by top infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

“I do think that sometimes the president still ought to focus on listening to people like Dr. Anthony Fauci, listening to the folks at the CDC and really taking really good advice of some of the people on his team working hard and doing a good job rather than just, you know, kind of changing their message and changing the position,” Hogan said.

The Republican governor went on to share his opinion of Trump’s reactions and tweets highlighting unfounded information and false claims. According to Hogan, Trump is his “own worst enemy.”

Hogan continued, “Sometimes I think he just reacts. He’s his own worst enemy by coming out and just tweeting something that makes no sense and goes against what everyone else in the administration is saying.”

Hogan also discussed the Republican Governors Association, an organization which he chairs. When asked about Republican governors and their sentiments of the Trump administration behind closed doors, he offered insight on some of the governors’ perspectives on Trump.

While many are supportive of the president, they have also expressed concern about his actions.
