Jen Psaki said Wednesday that President Donald Trump is “leading with cruelty” after being asked to compare his two terms on “The Late Show.” (Watch the video below.)

The former White House press secretary, who’s now an MSNBC personality, told host Stephen Colbert that “this is far worse than I thought it was going to be.”

Psaki noted a recent Atlantic interview in which Trump said he was not just running the country this time around, but the world.

“The point is, he now is unchecked. He now sees himself as not subject to consequences,” she said.

She later bored into the president’s mindset as he conducts legally dubious deportations, squashes diversity initiatives, stresses American households with recession-tempting trade wars and haphazardly guts government jobs.

“He’s leading with cruelty,” Psaki said. “He’s allowing his worst motivations to determine how he’s governing. And that’s why I think it’s worse than the first term.”
