this guy seems like a real lawyer. yeah. one of the lawyers he went into this was a former or current owing tribute to. there is a b team is going in to this with. and i know christine, she s actually a nice person, a very compassionate person, not the person i d want defending in a federal case like this. but, i go back to what shawn just said about the client himself shan. let s look at what the client did in just the past 24 hours. even by trump standards, he went on the most off the rails social media banners we ve seen the ex president do in a long time, maybe ever. i think we have, it yeah, here it is. i would not encourage anyone to scroll through it. but when you look at some of the details in here, he wants the 2020 election rerun, he wants to be named president again, he promoted qanon conspiracy theories, and almost the most direct way he ever has. i mean, this was really a vortex for republicans.
and appears to be, i guess, trying to embrace on some level donald trump? how is this going to work? well, alisyn, it s the way we started this conversation. it s a question of what donald trump means for the current republican party. and this race in ohio, this senate race, to me, is going to be one of the most fascinating illustrations or answers to that question that we re posing here. because rob portman, he s retiring, he certainly is a fiscally conservative republican, and even socially conservative, but by trump standards, not so much. he s more of a traditional republican, if you will. and so, the race to replace him, the primary race, is going to be very much a race to decide whether or not the former president has, you know, how much power he has right now. and the fact that you have the
this was cut years ago. seriously, we re talking about the president fixated on a scene cut from a movie, right, because he s not getting enough media attention. he has daily opportunities to be in front of live cameras and still acts inappropriately and insults people and unkind. this whole thing is ridiculous. the fact we re talking about it shows the level of attention president trump pays to minor things and not like he has work to do. this is one time i will say the president hit the right note of humor. those two tweets weren t that hash by trump standards. he liked to be in the movies and he misses the fact that s not presidential. i m not saying it s presidential. when he s calling people names and saying things racist and sexist. this is kind of jab jab justin trudeau, i got you on nato. not that bad. donald trump jr. on the other
new clues about president trump s robust impeachment defense and just about how important he sees florida to his re-election. even by trump standards, the sunrise, florida, rally was pretty wild, including a moment that one reporter described as being like a crowd chanting lyrics back to a rock star. just a quick warning to our viewers, though, the president used some colorful language. they re pushing that impeachment witch hunt, and a lot of bad things are happening to them, because you see what s happening in the polls? everybody said, that s really bullshit. joining me now to talk about this, national political reporter at the washington post and msnbc political analyst robert costa. returning are rick tyler and michael starr hopkins. robert, you wrote about this rally. i was reading the pool reports last night, and it kind of read
for the president. but i think what so disturbed me and shocked me about his reaction to ambassador yovanovitch in real time. let alone what she was testifying about 30-plus years of experience dedication to the country was really shocking. even by trump standards. to go out on a limb to be so critical of those officers who are thinking about america first. and the fact republicans would not come to her aid on that principle alone. again is what i saw as shocking. separate from impeachment. i think a lot of this information undermine s the let alone whether he stands up for his people or not. all of these things have an
