it. he doesn t seem to sort of understand the founding. i think one of the fairest criticisms of him by historians is that he doesn t seem to understand the story of america. tucker: yeah. you hear that? trump just doesn t understand the story of america. but do you know who does understand the story of america? really well? alcee hastings of florida. a member of congress. he was once a well-known judge. then he got impeached and removed from office for corruption. literally put on trial and convicted. now, democrats have installed the same man alcee hastings on the house rules committee where he is an important moral voice in favor of, brace yourself now, impeaching the president. who is orange and bad and must be removed because eye iror dies in washington. never tires of reminding you nobody is above the law. today we have a president who seems to believe he is a king or above the law.
up having a reverence for it. he doesn t seem to sort of understand the founding. i think one of the fairest criticisms of him by historians is that he doesn t seem to understand the story of america. tucker: oh, yeah. you hear that? trump just doesn t understand the story of america. but do you know who does understand the story of america? really well? alcee hastings of florida. a member of congress. he was once a well-known judge. then he got impeached and removed from office for corruption. literally put on trial and convicted. now, democrats have installed the same man, alcee hastings, on the house rules committee, where he is an important moral voice in favor of, brace yourself now, impeaching the president. who is orange and bad and must be removed because irony never dies in washington. and because, as the party of sanctuary cities never tires of reminding you, nobody is above the law.
and his supporters always have to do this, like, these gymnastics, like, well, he tweeted later he felt bad about so and so being hurt or he did this. those are kellyanne conway. that s like her with her finger or her hand up his, you know, moving his mouth. the real donald trump is the real donald trump. he is unempathetic. he is a cruel person. he is devoted only to the satisfaction of his own desires and his own needs. and the things that are required of a president at a moment like this, i mean, this is a guy like i said, you imagine donald trump in other situations. you know, after pearl harbor, maybe he d make a joke about building a new tower there or something. he doesn t understand the correct set of behaviors that normal human beings engage in, especially the ones who have the honor of carrying what they call the glorious burden of the presidency. it s interesting because i think the the supporters, the apologists, the people, you know, who love him no matter
wall, a wall that honors cia officers who have fallen in the line of duty, the president did as he always does, he talked about himself and the size of the crowd at his inauguration. we did a we did a thing yesterday. the speech. did everybody like the speech? you had to like i ve been given good reviews, but but we had a massive field of people. you saw that. packed. i get up this morning, i turn on one of the networks and they show an empty field. i said, wait a minute. i made a speech. i looked out, the field was it looked like a million, million and a half people. they showed a field where there were practically nobody standing there. it looked honestly, it looked like a million and a half people. whatever it was, it was, but it went all the way back to the washington monument. and i turn on the thing and by mistake i get this network. and it showed an empty field. and it said we drew 250,000 people.
now, that s not bad. but it s a lie. we had 250,000 people literally around, you know, in the little bowl that we constructed. that was 250,000 people. the rest of the, you know, 20-block area all the way back to the washington monument was packed. still can t believe that happened. many in the cia were outraged that he stood in front of the memorial wall, talked about himself, lied in the process. and, remember, this was all happening while a giant crowd of protesters was marching in the streets objecting to this president. that was a big crowd, too. so that was day one. yesterday was day 929, and still fixated on the crowd size. in all the days between trump never misses an opportunity to puff up his own chest chest or trash her perceived opponents. prime example, hillary clinton. he beat her more than 2 1/2
