Chris Matthews Bluntly Declares: 'The Country is Moving Towards Trump!' [View all]

Former MSNBC host Chris Matthews delivered a head-turning take about President Donald Trump sure to stun many of his left-leaning fans.

In an interview with Charlie Rose posted to YouTube on Saturday, Matthews — the ex-host of Hardball — fired some chin music at liberals who believe, based on recent polls, that Trump is floundering.

“To be honest with you, the country is moving towards Trump!” Matthews said. “These polls, they come out and show him not doing well — I don’t buy that.”

“His strength is still greater than the Democratic strength,” Matthews said. “He is a stronger public figure than the Democratic people.Obama still has tremendous charisma — but Trump has strength. And I think that’s what all voters look for. They want a president who is a strong figure. And he’s got it. It’s just there. And half the country buys it.”
