A retired American lawyer and activist has made news by declaring Republican frontrunner Donald Trump to be the “last hope” for America.

In a recent interview, Phyllis Schlafly was asked whether she thinks Trump is indeed the “last hope for America.” 

“He does look like he’s the last hope. We don’t hear anybody saying what he’s saying. In fact, most of the people who ought to be lining up with him are attacking him. They’re probably jealous of the amount of press coverage he gets,” the 91-year-old told World Net Daily.

“But the reason he gets so much press coverage is the grassroots are fed up with people who are running things, and they do want a change. They do want people to stand up for America. It really resonates when he says he wants to ‘Make America Great Again.’”

Schlafly predicted Trump will win the Republican nomination because grassroots voters are outraged over “betrayals” such as the omnibus spending bill.
