so president trump tweeted michael cohen the former fixer of trump denied a story in omarosa s new book. a reunion on the horizon. our next guest says not so fast. we have emily jane fox. we also have john heilemann. there s a lot of speculation in the news of late like cohen, maybe cohen has been cooperating for a while p.m. seems he s gone quiet in the last, i mean more quieter than usual. the stories emanating from cohen world, have slowed. i sense something is going on. it s interesting. there was that tweet about omarosa s book. there was chatter in that world that has reaction to that book,
now donald trump is going to start an enemies list and revoke the clearance of anybody that debates against him, if they raise their voice? this is all about power. this is donald trump reveling in executive power that he didn t necessarily realize he had. this is clearly it s something that as a whole, congress should have clamped down on perhaps a bit more so that the executive didn t have such unrivaled abilities to self-police this and to doll out clearances based on their own whims. at the beginning of the show we talked about melania trump and debating whether she s trolling her husband with her, be best initiative. i m decide these trolling her husband when she announces a decreased television time initiative for the people of this nation, because her husband is the first person who could be used he needs less time in front of the television all day and all night.
virginia, or black voters across what s called the black belt in alabama during that special election. you look at the crosstabs there, it s probably much lower for the people who are the most likely to vote this fall. the people that are most motivated by what has happened. plo motivated in a negative sense since donald trump was elected in 2017. i m fascinated. women voters across the country, was there vote a protest vote against hillary clinton or are they actually going to turn out and be motivated by donald trump and the way he s governing? as of now my bet is they aren t. we ve seen that in a lot of the special elections and certainly in these suburban districts, but you look at especially what happened in alabama, too, and black women in alabama really saved the day with that election. so women across the country,
trump right now out of loyalty and tribalism, but just like democrats are tribal, but they don t know if they want to put up with it for another four years because it is exhausting. yeah. i think, you know, there s no doubt this is an exhausting time in our politics. you have people talking about civility in politics being important and they would like have more rational discourse but still spend a lot of time yelling at their opponents. there s contradictions built into this. one thing that jeremy is talking about, writing about here is this notion that it helps explain, this notion that trump is as much of a cultural phenomenon as he is as a political phenomenon helps explain one of the great mysteries of this era. what happened to your republican party? how can it be that donald trump is so popular in a party where he stands for nothing, almost nothing of the ideas, the
abuse of power that bipartisan national security and intelligence officials are concerned about, trump is engaging in the case of brennan and the case of others. he just the twitter feed twi almost like the moment. he wants to present the best evidence. he wants to be the best evidence against himself when it comes to what his critics are charge. yeah, i think he s frustrated with the office but not the first president to feel that way. in a sense the president is not as powerful as you thought. i think everybody s got that right. donald trump came in thinking that the presidency was much more powerful. it is frustrating. i could add ronald reagan s name to that list. he dealt with tip o neill and dealt with a lot of democrats and he got a lot done over eight years, but it s a frustrating process. i remember a great story about reagan earlier on, he was trying
