today s rally we had a reporter catch up with trump supporters and they believe he s on the right track. you got your i.c.e., i.c.e. baby shirt on. we re hoping 8reinforce his original campaign promises of building a wall and keeping the illegals out. i lived in arizona the past 11 years. we see it every day. the illegals coming across. the trash, the disease. these people aren t interested in assimilating. he doesn t lie. i know y all say he does. he doesn t. he doesn t. he s done his promises and he s building the wall. so that s the view from the trump base in orlando. they don t speak for the whole city. take the orlando sentinal, a major paper that s mostly endorsed republican candidates in the past 60 years including romney in 2012. that paper is making waves with this unpless dented preemptive declaring they endorse not donald trump for 2020 writing
the president s most loyal supporters here as he kicks off his election. he has been basically running already for reelection for the last two and a half years, but tonight he ll make it official. i talked to a lot of supporters here who aren t just from florida, but also some of the neighboring states. it s interesting to hear about their progression from why they supported him in 2016 to now. take a listen to what a couple of them had to say earlier here. he s just for our freedom. we don t want socialistic policy. we want to be free. reporter: any frustrations? none at all. none at all. i hope we have the next four after them and after that i hope his son runs. excellent job. you guys need to back off and leave him alone. reporter: what s the main reason you ll vote for him again? the man reason? because he s one of the best presidents we ve had for a very long time. he doesn t lie.
what s so fascinating is that i love when people say oh, he doesn t lie. give me an example. you got it there on videotape and as his donors were saying that heard him say that this week at mar-a-lago, they are like it s on videotape. it s on videotape and yet he calls it fake. but, again, there are people that will believe what they believe but let those who have ears hear, actually hear. not sure why they chose that one to push against. good morning and welcome to morning joe . it s monday, march 11th. happy monday, everybody. with us we have political writer for the new york times and msnbc political analyst nick n confessore. richard haass. adrian elrod.
it is no longer operable? i m not allowed to talk about that, but it doesn t matter. and the defense is no longer paying michael cohen s legal bills. again, something i can t comment on, but it doesn t matter. we want him to handle it the best way for him. if he doesn t lie, tells the truth, we ll be fine. comey says he took it as direction. that s fine. he said a lot of other things, some have turned out to be untrue. what i wanted you to hear was rudy giuliani over the weekend saying the president will not sit down unless you facts here to prove a crime. he is trying to back off saying i didn t say that, but does rudy giuliani have any base is here.
that we still don t know and that you know, bob mueller who knows more than all of us at this point, may be following. and mike, the question of the morning, what is wrong with them? it s like the republicans on capitol hill, that keep shilling for president trump saying that he doesn t lie, he speaks in hyperbole, seriously? morons, i ll just say it. i want to go back to what you said, mike. it really is i don t know how to politely say this. it s not easy. they re not smart they are not intelligent people. they are not smart people. bumble around. i don t mean to go back to rudy giuliani, talking about how intelligent he is, who is dumb enough to go on the air, give three different accounts of an active case at the southern district of new york is investigating. and who look at jared kushner during transition, just blindly
