anyway, talking tonight about trump s conversation with reuters. saying he hasn t given much thought to stripping robert mueller s security clearance. but did not rule it out. as you know, this unfolded at the end of an already busy day characterized by a flood of presidential tweets. david, you see the president throwing out some of the most loaded terms in american history. attacking the mueller probe, mccarthyism, how john dean was a rat in the nixon administration, he s calling people in the mueller team thugs, the idea that paul manafort is getting it tougher than al capone. does that serve the president well? no, no, i don t think so. what it may serve the president is contributing to an exhaustion factor. people are tired of this torrent of insults. and doing everything except being president. even so, the clock is ticking
