agendas of disruption and e isolationism. british lawmakers voted to block the plan of a no-deal brexit and they voted against the bid to call an early general election. heilemann, why does this matter? we talk about other examples of sort of trumpism being tested or sort of thriving in other countries. is this an example of something trumpy failing in the uk? yes. i think it s interesting at a couple levels. first of all, a special relationship with the british alliances matters a lot, it always has mattered a lot. it s one of the few world leaders donald trump appears to have a good relationship with, although bo jo did trash him when he ran in 2016 and there s records of that. he could be out of office faster than any british prime minister has been in and out of office ever. this is a situation for those in
we will build a great wall and mexico will pay for the wall. we will build a wall and what? mexico will pay for the wall. we will build the wall! and mexico will pay for the wall 100%! and who is going to pay for that wall? mexico! 100% correct. it would be funny if the punch line didn t turn into fema and the pentagon. today look how far we ve fallen, from mexico is going to pay for the wall to this from nbc news, quote, the pentagon announced it would use $3.6 billion in military construction funding to pay for president donald trump s
cornerstone of his 2016 campaign and now stealing from fema to make good on that promise, if you can t win on that, you should all retire from the business and go home. it s not a low-budget ad, it s a big ad in all of the battleground states waiting to happen. karine, i m smiling because i remember my friend steve schmidt came on the show once and he talked beautiful, beautiful sill owe qui and we grabbed a kofcof and his punch line is there are no pesos. where are the pesos? and trump sees this as part of the strategy trump scammed his base on the wall, trump scammed his base on the economy. trump is scamming his base on the trade war with china and trump is scamming his base by
perthing and scheming to pay for a wall that probably never will be. that s right. the trump administration is a bottomless pit of evil. that what we are dealing with. there is no bottom, there is no lower low he low than he can go because this is what he does this every week and it never surprises us. i think you re right, nicole, it s going to be up to the democrats to show that contrast and to show the reality that this is donald trump. he lies about everything. it s a bottomless pit of evil. he doesn t deliver. the wall as we know is not going to do anything. it s a bigoted idea. it s a bigoted wall. but for him it is like i think the one thing that he understands because it s building something. he talks about being beautiful and being black and putting a statue of himself by the wall. this is the way that he sees it. it s almost part of his tv reality star act. the wall is something that s real to him, that he can see and envision coming up. and so i think for him, like hei
hitting this country today and truly jeopardizes people s lives and livelihoods is a serious enough thing to 1207 and say what is going on? yeah, well, there s a whole bunch of things to say about this. one of them is we have often remarked on the fact trump has been incredibly lucky in that the chaos and the lies that have devalued his currency, the most fundamental currency a president has, which is trust, that they have not had significant real-world consequences outside of puerto rico, which is obviously there have been disasters, there s obviously match shootings and traditional body count in this presidency. what we haven t seen is the moment expected, there would be a realtime crisis where trump s lies and ignorance and the way in which he defiles and devalues the most not just the trust he has but stage on which that trust resides historically, places like the podium and white house briefing room, oval office
