and it was putin s birthday. that s just the kind of guy trump is, right? it s it s vladimir putin s birthday there are say good idea. maybe there s some commercial interest that we think that the president has in turkey. we ve heard about trump commercial real estate operations and aspirations in istanbul. there s a story here because all of the other naanalyses through the conventional lens don t make sense. you have to go through the prisms through what you have to see it. and through that prism it makes perfect sense for vladimir putin in russia. mika, you listen to what we ve been saying for years. i have been saying for years that donald trump does not look at foreign policy as a way to help the united states of america. said for years that if you want to understand moves when it comes to foreign policy, you ve got follow the money. why is donald trump behaving the
last week that follows up on what mika s been saying for some time, that he really is working on having ivanka trump follow him in the white house at some point, whether in 24 or the 2020 election, even though events are moving far too rapidly for that. it is fascinating what nancy says, because people close to him have said for sometime, if he could get out he would. you know, there are a lot of contradictory settlements of donald trump s mentality. first of all, he has an oversized view of himself and ivanka trump. others concede to that. he s worried about the impeachment label on him in terms of his historical significance. so on the one hand i could understand the thought experiment. on the other hand i m thinking about his ego, his massive ego. but then the last point i m worried about, joe, is this. no matter what happens and how it is the case that trump sought of office, whether he s voted
he explained withdrawing troops from northern syria saying we didn t need to defend our kurdish allies because, quote, they didn t help us in world war ii. but with world war ii it s hard to know who trump means by us. joe biden for the first time called for president trump to be impeached and removed from office after he realized finally that that joe biden trump keeps attacking was him. we re going to we re going to talk more about the 2020 race straight ahead, but first here is meteorologist janessa webb with a check on the forecast. good morning, mika and joe. we re finally over our major winter storm for the northern plains but the leftovers of the storm is that by thor cold temperatures. waking up this morning to frost concerns with overnight lows still in the mid-20s. but when you factor in the winds, the feel-like temperature in the teens. this cold front will continue to spread to the midwest, chicago very frosty this morning, in the 20s with temperatures continuing
i think that the contrast couldn t be sharper. we started today watching a man in his 70 s tell duly elected constitutional officers to leave the country and you just saw a man in his 70s talk about our better angels. not our worst instincts. the capacity of america to grow and be stronger as opposed to simply saying you re strong no matter what. and the politics of it, i have no idea. again, donald trump is president, so what the hell do i know? i don t know what will happen in 2020. i think anybody who says they do is wrong but it s very clear to me from what mika is eliciting is that we will be able to make a choice between someone who is part of the vernacular, the best part of the vernacular of american life and politics versus someone who plays to
they wanted to stay in power and when it came time to speaking out against the president, they wouldn t do it. the shoe now is on the other foot. this is not a condemnation of democrats or republicans, it is just how sick politicians in washington can be when they think their side could move forward. can i just add to what mika was saying and i think part of what s upsetting you so much because i feel it very viscerally. what trump is saying is this woman wasn t even worth raping, wasn t worth it s the low regard that he holds so many women. and it s behavior, his attitude towards women that permeates everything he does in his entire life. he has done this before. the not my type defense is one trump has used when taking on another accuser. here he is in 2016 talking about
