right. i don t understand. try to explain president trump and what he says and does is a difficult task. as a political analyst, all of us every week have a struggle with this. as jeff said, the facts don t line up. in this case, donald doesn t know what he s talking about. i would say this. i think his behavior towards russia is very nefarious. are we going to watch two co-conspirators? i don t know. based on the indictment on friday, that s a concern. it doesn t make sense, it s an incoherent argument about nato and what s wrong with nato from a person who doesn t understand nato. but also on the other hand, the darker side is that he could be somebody that is in the the three of you from brilliant and smarter than me. you consider his goal is destabilizing western i agree
steel and aluminum hurt american consumers and how does it impact our trade relationships? if you re ford and you import from canada, you re going to have a tariff to pay. if you re a foreign carmaker that has lots of steel in the engine block in the frame and body of the car, that s not going to affect you. donald trump has just decided that he likes cars imported from japan, korea, germany more than likes american cars. and it s because donald doesn t know anything. and i mean that literally. he is completely ignorant about things like this. his ignorance is just appalling and it s really damaging to us. and as for the national security argument, i m sorry, steel made in canada or britain or australia would be counted for national security purposes would be within the u.s. under title 10 the codes, section 148 if
mueller. now you have a very clear story with four sources and two newspapers backing this up, that the president was proposing to do something which i think is clearly unlawful. you can do lawful things in an unlawful way and arguably advances a conspiracy involving this administration. and this issue of the independence of the justice department s prosecutors, this has a history that goes back to john quincy adams. but donald doesn t know any of this, doesn t have any respect for law and he expects you to be loyal to him. this is in some ways not surprising. i think it s a good question to ask, when are the principled republicans going to start saying, we need to seriously look at this. there s something amiss here. let s go to june 12th. this is when as i said in the beginning of the show, april ryan reported on june 12th that there was what she called mass hysteria in the trump white
david your reaction to this development tonight. this advances the story a lot from last summer when april reported on it and christopher ruddy, a publisher who s close with trump, said that trump was perhaps thinking of firing mueller. now you have a very clear story with four sources and two newspapers backing this up, that the president was proposing to do something which i think is clearly unlawful. you can do lawful things in an unlawful way and arguably advances a conspiracy involving this administration. and this issue of the independence of the justice department s prosecutors, this has a history that goes back to john quincy adams. but donald doesn t know any of this, doesn t have any respect for law and he expects you to be loyal to him. this is in some ways not surprising. i think it s a good question to
that s just not normal human behavior. in addition, donald doesn t know things. he s unbelievably appallingly ignorant. there s lots of incidents my book out today has a number of examples of this. and michael wolff, bless his soul confirmed a lot of what was in my previous book about donald. when he doesn t know something, he just makes it up. he just makes it up. it gets to the sort of profound question because there s this way in which people watched the president s behavior, they ve watched the tweeting and what seems to be compulsive behavior and this urge to medicalize, urge to die nog knows to say there s got to be something wrong with him as opposed to this is the person he is. these are the character traits he possesses. i ve said that i m not a doctor, but i can see he is not the sharp mind that he was when i first met him. but on the other hand, his power
