slammed too. there was something, kristin about donald trump and hurricanes in the way covering taking the puerto rico devastation and throwing paper towels do the crowd, the media seemed intent i would say in portraying the president lacking empathy, screwing things up. the truth he s not a politician, whenever he s a hurricane he seems to get hammered. the golf story, peoplic want the media to be adversary, they want to hold our leaders accountable and want to make sure that leaders feel pressured in order to live up to what is expected of them but the opposition political parties tend to sort of overblow it, you have gone on vacation too much, you played golf too much, average sort of voter is the media treating this president the same as the last president, if you have somebody who doesn t really tune into things, doesn t really watch this moment by moment, it does seem as though president trump gets flag from the media not just from opposition party over the sort
the president yelling at a reporter who brought up robert mueller said he could be indicted and possibly sent to jail after he leaves office. so what did you hear about the president s reaction? he seemed agitated. he seemed angry, but did he consider yesterday another escape for him? hallie jackson was asking sharp questions of president trump. you saw the president agitated to a point, his aides say, but he does feel emboldened now that mr. mueller is not making some kind of case where impeachment now seems imminent. he believes at this point he wants to have this investigation almost out there as something he can run against in 2020. his grievance style politics, although it seems like agitation, it s his usual style of portraying himself as the victim of a political establishment. chuck rosenberg in the first five minutes of the first hearing, jerry nadler got bob
unamerican, she is undeserving, this is the essence of xenophobia and racism. do you actually see danger around things like this happening? when you think of the violence last year. in the state of maryland you had a coast guard member with an arsenal ready to go. when the president stands there and whether it was his words or not, leans back as the crowd roars, send her back, what does that do? so i can tell you, when we were in the white house, whenever there was a spike around birtherism or something like that, there were real concerns about president obama s safety. the president of the united states, the full force of the secret service protecting him. right? we all know house members have no security. they re walking around between votes. they re flying commercial. and we know for a fact that he is gining up very significant hate in this country and racism directed at people like ilhan omar in this country by portraying her as a threat to the united states. there is no reason
singular ability to dominate coverage and to shift the narrative as he likes to. and really i think we as citizens have never seen anything like i think that would look. going back to what betsy was saying, i m picking up on a lot of the same things from the democrats in the house. what they are worried about is losing more seats in 2020. that s a big concern, because this president is able to have his voters, his people, take on his fights as if they re their own fights. and by portraying this as a witch hunt, as a redo of the 2016 election while the 2020 re-election is taking place, i think that worries a lot of democrats because they see that as an advantage for the president because he s saying they re sore losers. and you know what, americans really don t like sore losers. and a proxy fight. ed, you heard the president unwilling to say impeach, calling it dirty and filthy and disgusting. a few days before that he was speaking in front of the white house in front of farmers and
why washington politicians don t chair libel laws. he addressed it on camera for the first time this afternoon. i think because the book is, you know, a total piece of fiction. every week i seem to have a book coming out. some good, some bad. in all fairness, i get some good ones, too, but i like to take them on when they come out. that s a piece of fikds. the washington post describes the one-two punch of the book and the op-ed this way. taken together, they landed like a thunderclap portraying trump as a danger to the country that elected him and feeding the president s paranoia about who around him he can trust. with us to talk about this michael steele, happens to be former chairman of the republican national committee,
