grace because he was able to reach out to the whole country. donald trump squandered that with charlottesville. it s not partisan. i would say the same thing for president bush, president obama. this is different. this is uncharted territory. this is very interesting, michael. i didn t think about it that way because usually when these things happen, the presidentless speak when he s in the city. he was basically muted today because i don t know why. this was about him. yeah. everything is about him. even this tragedy, the worst anti-semitic attack, a massacre that took place with a person who was in love with the idea that the president spread of immigrants as invaders. but he didn t like the president. he wanted him to be stronger on that. certainly he used the same rhetoric and this is from the same context. let s bring olivia in. the mayor of pittsburgh, the governor of pennsylvania,
tinged with anti-semitism. i think we all i don t expect this president to change tomorrow. i expect him to go out tomorrow and be just as divisive, just as the braying as he always has been and try and press they immigration issue all the way to the election. so we ve gone over what he sources were telling zeleny, olivia did, that he visited today because it was the best day on his schedule. she brings up a very good point i think is that he on the same day that you it happened, he went to do he went to a rally. listen. i can t think of another word, sick part of this is he does know. he does know when he uses the word invader innovation this morning that that s a dog whistle to his people. even after 11 people have been killed. he does know what he globalist means. so they have a political
for that, as well. i will say it s ridiculous to consider what that source told cnn about the president not wanting to the optics being thatting about going on a day of a rally. he went to deliver a speech the day that the massacre happened. he talked about globalists in that speech. on the date that people were slaughtered in a synagogue. i think that the idea that they suddenly care about optics in this white house in a way they didn t before is pretty absurd. you say globalist because that s code for what are? jew. it certainly has anti-semitic overtones, yes. hmm. so what he message, olivia, are does it send to have jared kushner and ivanka trump go along on this visit? she converted. eats jewish. look, i think it makes sense to have them there throughout his political career, it has certainly helped the president to have his son-in-law and his
everything is about him. even this tragedy, the worst anti-semitic attack, a massacre that took place with a person who was in love with the idea that the president spread of immigrants as invaders. but he didn t like the president. he wanted him to be stronger on that. certainly he used the same rhetoric and this is from the same context. let s bring olivia in. the mayor of pittsburgh, the governor of pennsylvania, allegheny refused to meet the president. they re all democrats. even republican senator pat toomey bowed out. none of the leaders wanted to appear with trump. i don t think it s surprising. he s particularly divisive right now and since he entered politics before that even. so i don t think it s surprising that politicians wouldn t want to be pictured with him on a day like today. i think there s something to your point earlier that he sort off is damned if he does, damned if he doesn t. if he didn t go today, if he didn t go early i m sure there would be people c
