NBA legend Doc Rivers isn't convinced by one common insult that's been hurled at President Donald Trump.
During a wide-ranging conversation with MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace on her 'The Best People' podcast, Milwaukee Bucks head coach Rivers — a self-described Democratic voter — said he's heard Trump called a 'buffoon' so many times but just doesn't buy it.
'He can't be,' Rivers said. 'Because he's the president and he's won twice. And not only did he win twice, he's got 70 million people who believe the other way. So maybe we're the ones who are the fools, and we need to wake up?'
Rivers criticized Democrats for losing discipline when it comes to taking on Trump, contrasting that with Republicans' ability to fall in line behind their leader.
He also suggested it 'makes no sense' for Democrats to blame Trump voters for his victories, arguing the party needs to figure out how to energize its base.
As for the 2028 election, Rivers said it's 'too early' to predict which Democratic politician might emerge as a contender.
Rivers added that Republicans had pulled off 'the greatest marketing coup in the history of marketing' with their narrative about the economy, pointing out that statistics consistently show the economy performs better under Democratic administrations.
