A recap of the days news. Twitter and apparently from watching me on cnn, which he denies, by the way. I know this because he has tweeted a nasty hateful swipe at me and lebron james weve been discussing here. Youve probably read about it or saw it somewhere. I sat down with an nba great after lebron just opened a school for 240 at risk third and forty graders. And during our conversation lebron said this. We are in a position right now in america more importantly where this whole race thing has taken over, and one because i believe our president is kind of trying to divide us. But for him to like i said use sports to kind of divide us is something that i cant i cant sit back and not say nothing. What would you say to the president if he were sitting right here . I would never sit across from him. You would never . You wouldnt want to talk to
him . No. I would sit across from barack, though. He made lebron look smart, which isnt easy to do, i like mike. Unlike this president who lashes
What was he projecting when he was tweeting that meeting at the trump tower was about getting dirt on Hillary Clinton . Why would he tweet something that completely contradicts the statement that they wrote saying it wasnt about that and that he lied to us saying he had nothing to do with it. I rest my case. Come on, hes saying exactly what is happening and exactly what is true about him. He cannot help himself. Listen, you know, chris, we do not take this lightly. When this man was on the campaign trail with every being to be objective and report him in a fair equitable manner. And then when we became president of the United States, the same thing. It always gets me when people say this study shows theres 90 of the reports show about this president are negative, but they dont talk about the things that comes out of his mouth and the policies he proposes and what he says or does to people. How are we as media to report positively on something thats negative . The president called count
you don t talk about people in the way this president does at least if you re a president of the united states you re not supposed to. so that whole thing about the media is biased and that 90% of what we report about donald trump is negative, if that is indeed true you need to counter balance that and weigh it against what comes out of this president s mouth and what he s doing. my concern is more what we re almost forced to let go by the flood of activity that i believe, again, is one of trump s signature traits. he know he floods the zone some of it s going to make it through. i worry about what we ignore, what we empower. i remember all the way back to paul manafort, with that silly speech ivanka gave that wound up being plagiarized melania. melania gave a speech and did a great job and michelle had that speech and it was a great speech. manafort said can we move on,
because it s race and misogyny as well because he likes the idea of using her. and that happens over and over in his insulting. he will pick someone he ll pick, you know, athletes like lebron, pick you. but he wants to find a face. and he likes the fact that that face is female or minority. and it s easy to beat up on them in his mind. annie, the timing of this tweet from the president comes just about a year after charlottesville. and you in your piece for politico you write about the real lesson trump learned from that episode and ultimately he came out unscathed, right? in the short-term, absolutely. we saw a year ago republicans on the hill distancing themselves from him. we saw executives quitting his business councils. we saw a lot of hemming and hawing among white house staffers whether they would leave the administration and cohen privately expressing consternation. a year later everyone sort of has crawled back one way or another. the corporate ceos are having dinners
