that s from a statement from congressman matt gates of florida. as we reported, the president spent the weekend tweeting not only about mccabe but about special counsel mueller. i spoke with congressman gaets just before air time. i think that the president firing mr. mueller would create a series of conflicts and and downstream effects that would be bad for the country. i think this is the job of the attorney general because they re been no evidence of collusion produced by the special counsel and because there s been a house finding of no collusion in the intelligence committee, i think the attorney general would be right to renounce his recusal, to re-establish command of the democratic of justice, and then to give bob mueller a time period to produce the evidence that he may or may not have regarding collusion. and if he doesn t produce it, let s wrap this up and move on to tax cuts and other important things for the country. as you know, the
kremlin s dreams. you might remember the president s tweet from this weekend where he said the russians were laughing their asses off in moscow. this diplomat told me he was in a meeting with intelligence officials who were doing just that over their success. mike: leland vittert leading us off. many thanks. the president returning to the white house tonight after a weekend tweeting about everything from oprah to daca to the russian indictments and right before he left florida about former president obama. kevin corke following the tweet storm for us tonight and he joins us now. good evening from west palm beach, florida. what a difference a day makes. today just one tweet about russia from the president. compare that with the weekend where we saw him tweeting virtually nonstop about the russia investigation. it was a digital day lose. the weekend tweet storm ran the gamut of topics but the investigation was clearly front

states, he is the head of the biggest club in the entire world. but no one there s no one too small for president trump to punch down at. that is his m.o. all along and certainly the nfl. i m not suggesting they are small players in any way, but this is a move you could have seen him done during the campaign, playing to his base, and he relished it. remember it was when hurricanes were ravaging the virgin islands, puerto rico, and instead ofressing any of that going on, the president was on twitterer all weekend tweeting about kneeling during the national anthem, as though that was the most important issue facing the country at that point in time. yes, we have football and super bowl in particular, i m not a huge sports fan, but i ll be watching the super bowl later. you have to watch the super bowl. we have to come together around the super bowl, yet here at this moment there may be a lot of political conversations happening because of the president s discussion about the nati
but there s a new axiom report coming out saying he can t lead, if you will. what are the implications of that, michael? is that smart politics? no, it s dumb. look, senator mcconnell and john mccain are grown-ups, they have very thick skin, i have no doubt they ll help the american people, but there s no doubt it s juvenile. what do you make of the fact that the president spent the weekend tweeting with the nfl, what i was just discussing with congressman clyburn, and yet people in puerto rico are saying, we need help. we are u.s. citizens. we need the federal government to weigh in here. finally he did yesterday, to be fair. i think the sustained focus that people in these disaster areas need is something that s been lacking, at least in terms of the tweets, at least in terms of some of the things the president has said and done. i hope and pray we re doing everything humanly possible to help those people. is it one of these moments,
