against donald trump i can t believe they would crack his walnuts any more than they are cracking his walnuts. eboni: i will tell you, this eric. do they dislike him, absolutely. i can t cry any tears for president trump over this issue of delegitimizing his presidency. not when he was the chief of the birtherrism. this is the type of thing to laura s point the bra veterans administration co-he invites it. he wins with it i think it creates a narrative of us vs. them, always tends to play to his base. katherine: no way he is serious. eric: he announced a major foreign policy trip. going to israel, vatican, mecca, the home sites of the three major religions on the planet, and no one picked that up. all they want to know is what did donald trump tweet about tapes. katherine: he maybe could have avoided that by not tweeting about tapes. he is more responsible for this narrative in some ways than the media. if he wanted them to talk about that maybe he would
