MSNBC Historian Argues Trump Will Be Definitively Exposed as a ‘Fraud’ This Week Amid Bond Deadline: He Was ‘Never a Good Businessman’

MSNBC presidential historian Michael Beschloss claimed Donald Trump will be “exposed” as a “fraud” this week amid a deadline to pay a $464 million bond stemming from fraud charges in New York.

Beschloss joined Morning Joe on Monday ahead of Trump making a court appearance. The MSNBC analyst argued there’s no precedent for Trump being a presidential candidate and facing so many charges, and that the former president is unqualified for the White House.

“Presidents in history, we elect them because they’ve been a success in their profession. I was mentioning [George] Washington, [Abraham] Lincoln. General [Ulysses S.] Grant won the war, the Civil War, did a lot to help win the Civil War, Dwight Eisenhower led forces on D-Day — if Dwight Eisenhower had failed on D-Day and those forces had been turned back and they go back into the sea, do you think he would have a prayer of being elected in 1952?” Beschloss said.

He argued that Trump was “never” a good businessman despite his decades in the private sector before jumping into politics. Beschloss claimed that the bond deadline will “expose” Trump.

“Donald Trump this week is going to be shown as essentially a fraud. This was never a successful businessman, someone who does not obey the law, someone who will not support the constitution,” he said.

In a Monday post to Truth Social, Trump called the bond “ridiculous” and claimed the number was chosen because it was “similar” to an amount he had in a bank account.

Trump’s lawyers previously said posting the full bond was a “practical impossibility,” revealing they’ve had trouble getting a company to underwrite the bond.
