He’s perhaps the most famous American sportscaster of the last four decades, and now he’s being hammered for going nuclear on former President Donald Trump and his supporters, whom he branded as a “toxic cult.”
Bob Costas appeared Saturday on CNN’s “Smerconish,” where he said Trump is “by far the most disgraceful figure in modern presidential history. He’s only become more disgraceful since 2016 and since 2020.”
“He [Trump] is a bubbling cauldron of loathsome traits,” Costas told host Michael Smerconish.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
“You have to be in the throes of some sort of toxic delusion and in a toxic cult to believe that Donald Trump has ever been, in any sense, emotionally, psychologically, intellectually, or ethically fit to be president of the United States,” he said.
“But his supporters are locked in on that.”

On Sunday, panelists on “The Big Weekend Show” tore into Costas for his anti-Trump remarks.
“From sports to saying Trump supporters are a cult … it was a deplorable moment for him,” said Fox News contributor Katie Pavlich.
“74, 75 million people in this country voted for Donald Trump. I’m not sure that’s a great look [for Costas],” said radio host Guy Benson, radio host.
Lisa Boothe, another Fox News contributor, said the criticism by Costas would apply to whomever is the Republican presidential nominee in 2024.
“Let’s say Nikki Haley did get the nomination, but she’s not going to. He would be turning the same ire toward her, right? Remember, they called John McCain racist. Mitt Romney was a sexist. Basically, if you’re a Republican, you have a target on your back,” she said.
“They’re going to criticize Donald Trump, but we’re seeing, with Joe Biden, a fracturing coalition of the people that propelled him to victory in 2020, saying, ‘You know what? We thought that you were going to be better. You weren’t.’ And now Trump’s going in and can easily say, ‘Things were good under my watch…’ she continued.
The Costas attack got plenty of reaction on X, including:
“Bob Costas used to be great. Covered sports with an intellectual bend & historical knowledge. Became overbearing in his commentary, meandering into condescension & lecture. It’s digressed to full-on personal & cultural elitism & disdain. F*** you, Bob.”
“Costas has outlived his sell by date.”
“It looks like someone photo shopped his mouth.”
“Bob needs to retire. Senility hitting him hard. Terrible announcer now.”
“FBC.”
“Where can I get an application to the cult?”

WND SPECIAL REPORT – “IT’S TRUMP VS. SWAMP PSYCHOPATHS”: From the Biden administration’s enthusiastic support for amputating body parts of troubled children, to its obsession with bringing as many millions of illegal aliens, terrorists and Chinese soldiers as possible into America, it is increasingly clear that many of this nation’s current leaders are, to put it plainly, stark raving mad.
Indeed, psychiatric experts are finally documenting how the symptom profiles of scary conditions like “Borderline Personality Disorder” and “Narcissistic Personality Disorder” PERFECTLY MATCH today’s top leaders.
One groundbreaking peer-reviewed study published in 2023 documents how left-wing extremism is closely associated with “psychopathic tendencies.” Likewise, retired psychiatrist Brad Lyles, M.D., explains how “one way of understanding the increasingly outlandish beliefs and behaviors of the left is through the lens of Borderline Personality Disorder.” And one of America’s top forensic psychiatrists, Lyle Rossiter, M.D., described Barack Obama’s mental state as “Malignant Narcissistic Personality Disorder.”
Consider a typical description of sociopathy: “Sociopaths are often well-liked because of their charm and high charisma, but they do not usually care about other people. They think mainly of themselves and often blame others for the things that they do. They have a complete disregard for rules and lie constantly. They seldom feel guilt or learn from punishments.” Remind you of anyone?
From Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to their presidential Cabinet – including Attorney General Merrick Garland, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra – all of these people “have a complete disregard for rules and lie constantly.”
But it’s not just Democrat leaders. Multiple surveys now show how rank-and-file Democrats are TWICE as likely to be diagnosed with a mental disorder as Republicans – from depression to bipolar disorder to schizophrenia to narcissistic personality disorder. All this and much more is stunningly laid out in the March edition of WND’s critically acclaimed Whistleblower magazine, “IT’S TRUMP VS. SWAMP PSYCHOPATHS.” Don’t miss it – you will see the whole political-cultural-spiritual war raging in the U.S.A. in a whole new light.
