he is the ultimate deal-maker i ve ever seen. i want to recap what the president and first lady just concluded. it was an extraordinary week for america. it was an historic turning point people will be talking about in many years to come. the president in just ten days has changed the geopolitical reality wherever he went. in a corresponding leading publication said in a short space of 10 days, trump carried out a revolution. is that normal? from the center of american progress joins me next.
take a listen. i think it s fair to ask how did that actually influence the campaign, and how did they know what messages to deliver? who told them? yeah. who were they coordinating with or colluding with? the russians, in my opinion and based on the intel and counter-intel people i ve talked to, could not have known how best toeaponize that information unless they had been guided. and here s guided by americans. guided by americans. that s quite a claim. that is a very serious charge. one of the troubling aspects of this story is there are some indications that there may have been people on president trump s campaign or people that advised president trump who were aware of what was happening. there is the infamous tweet from roger stone, a close adviser of the president even though he didn t work on the campaign, but

it does seem the performance expected of people is talk about the president in terms to me in an aesthetic sense is past the normal degree of puffery and spin. do you think that s fair? i think that s fair. remember, trump has always loved receiving praise. those around him have long praised him in an effort to win his trust and his loyalty and things like that. this is coming at a time it s clear the president is not happy about his communications staff and not happy how the message is going out, that this russian investigation is taking over the narrative. there has been talk of maybe sean spicer taking less of a role, kind of shifting around the way that they do things. as that s happening, you re seeing his spokespeople coming
