He wrote this in October.

"Catastrophe" will strike the U.S. if Donald Trump wins in November, warns Steve Schmidt, former political strategist for ex-President George W. Bush.

Schmidt wrote in his newsletter, The Warning with Steve Schmidt, that the country could face a national crisis, depending on the results of the November 5 presidential election, due to Trump's repeated attacks on the "American way of life" and efforts to destroy it.

"There is catastrophe ahead if Trump wins," Schmidt said. "The United States faces a national emergency because a presidential candidate and former president has attacked the cornerstones of the American way of life, and is trying to topple them for the purposes of taking political power. He is a world-class liar and manipulator who sought to destroy the American government, which he betrayed by rejecting the results of the election he lost and the oath of office he took."
