i just think it keeps the narrative going, this twitter narrative, of what else is donald trump going to do next? that s problematic for him. we re not talking as kelly said earlier about his policies, the g-20 and what might happen there and we re not talking about health care which was his one of his first and most major policy he wanted it to be a major policy achievement for himself. that s not going well. and we re sitting here on a sunday afternoon now talking about what he did on twitter. and a lot of republicans behind the scenes are bgetting increasingly frustrated with this. i think it is dipping into how people are perceiving health care, and i think that, you know, he needs to kind of winnow all of this down and be a little bit more presidential if he s going to have republicans in the caucus work with him to put out legislation like health care. jeremy, about the reaction there that we heard from the homeland security advisor,

i m pretty proud of the president for developing a twitter and social media platform where he can talk directly with the american people. you re in charge of homeland security there. that seems like a threat. yeah, certainly not though. i think that no one would perceive that as a threat, i hope they don t. i think he s beaten up in a way on cable platforms that he has a right to respond to. white house homeland security adviser thomas bossert defending a controversial video of the president tweeting this morning, that image there. joining me now is amy barns and jeremy peters, reporter for the new york times and an msnbc contributor. gang, great to have you on this morning. amy, let me start with you. your reaction to seeing this? i mean, is it really that big of a shock or should we all just be completely outraged at something so juvenile?
pretended to be, and came in kind of shattering the mold. i think that as i said earlier, don t expect to see this change. if there s one comment that i think has been the most salient and relevant that trump has made over the course of his presidency so far, it s the one that he told time magazine first and then repeated at his rally this weekend, i m president and you re not. to him, that s all the validation, all the answering that he needs to do. he s president and he s going to do things his way. that s something you would hear at kindergarten, this is mine, not yours, nanny-nanny-boo-boo. the low brow teasing that you would not anticipate from the leader of the free world. he won the election. it doesn t seem like he even gets that he won the election. it s almost like it didn t sink in or something because he has to keep reminding everybody and himself. amy and jeremy, for both of you, amy, let me ask you first, white
