believe and would firmly believe that the birth certificate is a forgery to this day. like peter said, you can find a set of data points they re not really data points, let s be honest. you can find a set of things that reflect your world view basically anywhere on the internet. and that s what happens here. the thing we should note, though, this isn t just trump creating his own narrative as he sees fit, this is essentially trump cherry picking things he wants to be factual. for instance, he completely believes roy moore s denial of roy moore s accusers. even though this ton of evidence and good reporting about it, but he also now doesn t believe he himself was on the tape on the access hollywood part. those things don t compute with each other. i think the most important thing in that the new york times piece was actually jeff flake,
steven miller literally questioned whether or not the poem inspired on the statue of liberty was something actually a mission of the country. whether we actually want to bring people who are weary. what they re doing is saying, we re going back to the basics and give you what we said. and we won t even try to hold our tongues and say we re trying to be egalitarian. it goes back to the beginning. half this country spoke german as well as english. german was a really big language. we weren t all english speakers. the fireworks in the briefing, the audience isn t just trump. it is an audience of a base that s scared of immigrants and they see yelling with cnn and the new york times and they think it is going well. i think he was playing to one audience. mr. trump. trump loved that explosion of id. he just lost scaramucci. he has to fill hole. and think about the context. in recent weeks, trump spent a
scandal. what about the rish response. the de facto response is always, i haven t seen it. they should be bolting more. i wonder if they ve had the most delicious screw you in history when he put his thumbs down. that was a dramatic sort of, the italian expression is, revenge is best a dish best served cold. who is the worst maverick? trump or mccain? how about murkowski. she was defended by trump and they threatened her state and said i won t respond to vinegar. she voted on the health care bill. i think he s ready to give alaska back to the russians. don t give them any ideas. that s cool. feeling good in slim fit?
arizona and did a fund-raiser for me. i was with him on most things. that s how it used to be. wasn t just shirts versus skins on everything. now we think we can only pass something on the senate if we do it with 52 votes. ? it is getting this book a lot of publicity. i m fascinated with how tough you are on donald trump. not this general critique you re offering here. this book is very hard hitting. very hard hitting on trump. demagoguery is the word you used. you used all the tough words. you don t think this president is good for the country, do you? i ll talk about what i talk about in the book. okay, good. i say in the book i ve agreed with him on many things. supreme court justice. great cabinet picks. i worked him on regulatory reform. where i think that he s profoundly unconservative is on things like free trade.
to lay off. it was trying to get the fbi off the investigation and then asking the head of the stroegs get the filibuster off it again. what nixon tried once, trump, trumped him by doing twice. and then pursuing the russian investigation. that s what he told the russians why he did it. nitsch got the attorney general to resign and then got the special counsel investigating him fired. trump is still working on those two steps trying on get sessions to quit so he could get someone in there to do the dirty work. he is heading in that direction. nixon bras in a general as his chief of staff in 1973. trump has just done same thing. bringing in general kelly to settle the ship. but point after point, trump keeps trying to cover up what can t be covered up. he is saying his meeting with the russians was ball adoptions. like nixon. he keeps going back to the seasonable of the crime. two weeks ago, he said it was also about russian adoptions.
