still sees that s the only way to win. he feels to feed that base, he must get this done. i don t know whether that s true or not and i certainly don t think it s guaranteed it will be enough. in fact on the other side when you hear democratic strategists talking about increasingly what kind of campaign to construct against trump when we get to the fall of next year, that campaign for a lot of them doesn t revolve around a lot of things we rightly focus on, which is trump s day for norms and pathological lying and a lot of things we rightly focus on them but are on the broken promises on the ways in which trump did not drain the swamp, did not deliver specific things on drug prices, things he promised to people in his base and on the edge of his base. this is a classic example, i look up and felt like saying to the democratic strategy consulting class, guys if you cannot win with this, with a guy who made we will build a wall and mexico will pay for it the
america who think the country is on the brink of chaos, there s one western democracy that s more of a mess than america and it s britain. so it s a heartwarming quality to see an absolute clown being treated in the way i think a lot of people wish donald trump would get treated in our own congressional halls. one thing that distinguishes the treatment in the uk is people cross party lines to rebuke his conduct. it hasn t happened here yet. he s united people against him. haven t seen that here. haven t seen the legislative branch in the u.s. challenge the executive in the same way that we re seeing across the pond right now. the president you saw in the clip, i saw it at the g-7, the president believes that all geopolitics are about relationship. his relationship whether he gets along with somebody. he thinks he s going to get along with poboris johnson becae they both backed brexit. you have mike pence over there
happen. nicolle? go ahead, karine. i just wanted say there s been some movement across the country. you have had about 20 states who have passed some sort of gun reform law. and nine of those states were signed by republican governors, which is a good step forward. and that s what we need to see. i think what we are seeing here is basically the same type of moment we ve seen from other times, like the marriage equality movement. i think the country is going to move before congress does. and i think that is what s going to happen and whoever is in congress, if the country catches up with the state passing gun reform, a lot of these congressional members will be without a job. a lot of these centers will be without a job. and that s where we are with th this movement. the country is moving. nothing makes the president look smaller or weaker than being in the pocket of the nra. in the afternoon of the shootings in dayton and el paso, the president was saying we will
i think what s different is the people he may be upsetting are military individuals. he s taking money away from projects, including in the state of wisconsin, which is arguably the most electoral state in 2020. there are military facilities all over the country that will be affected by this. and so it s fun to see on tv, it s fun to cheer for it at a rally. i wonder if there will be any consequences in the real world to him taking money away from facilities and from projects that impact military readiness, cyber security, things like that, and potentially impact people s jobs in a lot of these states. the ignorance of history, because anyone that knows about the politics around base closings, to take away military spending in a congressional district is usually a showdown at the ok corral. to that point, i hate to use this point, but there s almost an air of desperation in it.
thing that he must feel that he has to deliver on. but i have to tell you, his base is not going to go anywhere. he does misinformation campaigns or stories all the time. he will tell them the wall is there as he has been doing and they will believe it. i m just not quite sure that he needs this wall, but he seems to feel that it is something that needs to happen. well, i think if you talk to the president s supporters at the next rally, a lot of them would tell you if you re being scammed, they re saying, look, you re missing the point. we don t take him at his word when he says mexico is going to pay for the wall. and i think it s true, whether he builds the wall or not, they will stay with him. he s a little more insecure about that and wants to get that thing done. but a lot of it is seeing people get aggravated, seeing him frustrate fact checkers and people who don t like the wall.
