efforts to interfere in 2016 but ongoing efforts to interfere in american society. jesse: the media joining in on the criticism. you ve been watching perhaps one of the most disgraceful performances by an american president. what many would say is a disgraceful performance with vladimir putin. they came across as playmates on a soccer field more than they did international rivals. mr. putin is a master puppeteer of donald trump. you should call this the surrender summit. jesse: wow. greg, we have talked about it. where were these left-wingers during the cold war when we needed them? greg: they were about world expansion and all they did was ridicule republicans remain anticommunist. they were anti-anti-communist for three or four decades. they were drooling bedfellows of all the romantic communists. anybody in south america or
democratic countries around the globe is. but he just shirked those responsibilities. i cannot understand how the national security team can continue to abide by this and how pompeo and bolton and kelly can continue in their jobs. this, i think, rises to the point of good american patriots resigning in objection to that performance by donald trump. i m at a loss of words to describe just how outrageous his words, his statements, his behavior has been. and one can only conclude that he fears vladimir putin and that one on one discussion, who knows what was discussed there. and how mr. putin now is the master puppeteer of donald trump, the person who is in our oval office. outrageous. i just saw a picture of huntsman and pompeo while the
united states, especially among his critics, that there s something very big here that he s trying to hide or that he s somehow the master puppeteer. that s just not helpful for american leadership. for all the talk of this president as the guy who fires people, he doesn t like confrontation face to face. often, once he gets face to face, he s sort of buddy-buddy with people. the criticism often comes once that person has left the room. and his line has been there s no point to confront or to bring it up again and again when putin keeps denying it. so what then? how about it s the right thing to do for your country and for american democracy. you can have a policy response. you have senators on cnn and everywhere else. it s two years after the election. the u.s. government hasn t done anything. we got to take a quick break. we re going to have more with michelle, david, and susan. also, democrats have been calling on the president to
it starts to add up. there s the potential that this niger soldier and comment might be something to move. within all this, there s the outrageous story that the president simply ignored these soldiers killed in action for these 12 days. he s just publicly ignored them. and, daniel, that is getting kind of lost within this coverage that has emerged from what happened today in the rose garden. yeah. i think one thing that s interesting about trump is that by virtue of the outrageousness and dishonesty, he brings attention to things that make him look bad. there s a distraction theory. a master puppeteer taking our attention away and i think he drives attention to it so people might not have heard about the soldiers or very little and now trump created an absurd controversy with virtue of the dishonesty and people googling
