Middle east. We have no idea who they are. Today a make ringed by walls would only encircle itself. The apple doesnt fall far from the tree. Opening a bag of trouble comparing refugees to skittles. Had this is a pretty rotten apple. On friday, mr. Trump made what he called a big announcement. President obama was born in the United States, period. Thats a firm grasp on the obvious. You dont get to have racist rhetoric for five years and then decide when its over . Its not over in a 30second commerci commercial. Im not sure the guy who holds fake press conferences has a fake foundation, fake hair and a fake tan should be the one in charge of deciding whats real. This is the last word on campaign 2016. Richard cohen has been a columnist with the Washington Post since jimmy carters administration. Hes seen it all. But what hes not seen is a major candidate for president who he would compare to hitler until now. The latest mustread column is entitled trumps hitlerian disregard for the truth. He doesnt think that donald trump is lying about president obamas birthplace. He thinks donald trump believes that president obama was not born in the United States. And that, in trumps mind, he was only lying when his Campaign Staff forced him to say that the president was born in the usa. The reason he did not apologize for having so longinsisted otherwise is that an apology would have crossed his personal red line, like a child, he had his fingers crossed. Donald trump said something tonight about africanamericans that is stupid and untrue and every child in every American School that observes Martin Luther king, junior day every year knows that this is untrue. Africanamerican communities are absolutely in worst is shape that theyve ever been in before, ever, ever, ever. You take a look at the inner cities. You get no education. You get no jobs. You get shot walking down the street. Theyre worse. I mean, honestly, places like afghanistan are safer than some of our inner cities. What do you think you just saw . What do you think all those white people sitting behind donald trump were just listening to . Were you watching an exploitive politician who knows better, who doesnt believe what hes saying is true . Or were you watching the most ignorant person in campaigns that is so ignorant of our own history that when he invents extemporaneous lies like that he believes what hes saying. Which one of those were you watching . And which is worse . Which is more loathe some, more dangerous, the sociopath who would say that, knowing its not true, or the sociopath who would say that, believing it is true . Richard cohen, who, as i said, has seen it all, including the president ial candidacy of a segregationalist, George Wallace is worried, very worried. Because germany was not some weird place when adolf hitler came to power. Richard cohen sees the germany of that time as being not all that different from other countries. And he is worried, because, quote, in 1933, germany chose a sociopa sociopathic liar as its leader. If the polls are to be believed, we may do the same. We are now only 48 days away from possibly electing a president who thinks that africanamericans were better off in slavery than they are today, who thinks that africanamericans were better off when segregation was legal than today. Who has no idea why we celebrate why we celebrate Martin Luther king jr. Day, how i suffhe suff and risked his life and lost his life in fighting for the basic rights of africanamericans. Donald trump doesnt seem to know that africanamericans were not better off when they didnt have the right to vote. That none of us were better off when africanamericans didnt have the right to vote, because we lived in a country that tolerated and legalized egregious immorality. A country that normalized vicious immorality. Segregation was legal when drum was drum donald trump was in school. People were leaving to join freedom riders for civil rights. He didnt join them, and apparently, he never even thought about them, even after some of them were murdered. Because donald trump said tonight that things were much, much better then for africanamericans, back when they wouldnt get shot walking down the street, as he claims they do now. Donald trump forgets the thousands of lynchings africanamericans suffered. He does not know that crime rates are down, that murder rates are down. They are lower han th ethan the the 1960s, 1970s or whenever things in Donald Trumps dream scape things were better for africanamericans. Or maybe he does know. Maybe Richard Cohen is wrong and donald trump is not the same kind of liar that hitler was. Maybe. But then were still left with the question, which one is worse . Joining us now, rich wilson, he is an adviser to the Evan Mcmullin independent president ial candidate. And also the host of make it plain. Mark, as soon as i heard what donald trump had to say, i said we got to geget t to get mark i. We dont know, they were silent during that part of it. We dont know how many of them believe that to be true, how many of them think its a lie. I dont know what their reaction to it is. Thanks for having me. Your words were profound. He is truly ignorignorant. But he is historically consistent in his ignorance. We wont say who stole the sermon from whom. The period after reconstruction was known as reclamation. We got the right to vote. Thousands of africanamericans elected throughout the south in local positions, even in the house and senate, former slaves in the house and senate. The first congressional black caucus. What was the reaction of the White Supremacists . It was to criminalize us, a book was written about it, criminalizing the race, and we were run down and talked about. And the movie birth of a nation came out. Dr. King talked about that on the steps of the montgomery capital, how white and black were divided purposely at that time. Africanamericans were fed the bible, whites were fed jim crow. What donald trump is doing is not showing concern at all by saying were worse off than ever. The words he uses are very specific and very strategic. Hes criminalizing us again. Hes speaking to the altright. Dont know how many altright people were in that audience, but the audience hes really talking to is the altright. Africanamericans are no worse off than we were during civil rights, we mow that. However, the new numbers came out. The economy has improved for everybody under president obama, including africanamericans. We also know that we are living in an era of modernday lynchings by the police. So what donald trump is doing is exploiting that atmosphere, criminalizing us, we have no good jobs, no education, violence, get shot every day, that is a way of criminalizing us while the police are shooting us down. Someone concerned about us as Hillary Clinton said on the steve harvey show is going to talk about what happened to Terence Crutcher over the weekend, going to talk about some of the other things affecting us. Anybody putting us down, putting us down as victims further is not our friend, and donald trump isnt our friend, and he keeps reciting this poem, the al wilson song, the snake. He himself is the snake. Absolutely. The arc of Donald Trumps idiocy is long, but bent toward infinite stupidity. This is a guy who, i would love to give him the benefit of the doubt and say he just didnt think it through. Hes dumb as a sack of hair, but honest to god, with the guy, hes been so divisive, so determined to open up a racial chasm in this country in part because hes a guy backed in large measure by a group of White Supremacists and neonazis and fraud meme idiots. He loves those people. Theyre what donald trump loves most. So id love to give him the benefit of the doubt and say hes just being done. N i have to see theres something darker about donald trump. When he makes statements like this, hes appealing, hes not appealing to africanamericans. Hes trying to sell anxious white voters who smell the racism coming off the guy and they loathe it, theyre nervous about it, but hes a guy who cant acknowledge slavery. He cant acknowledge the klans a bad group, david duke as an evil human being. Hes hipdeep in this stuff, and its really hard to give him a pass on it. Rick, just so i can clarify here and put you down in the right column. On the Richard Cohen notion, the theory that donald trump actually believes his lies, are you in the he believes the lies because hes so stupid, or he knows theyre lies. I think he mows theyknows t lies. I dont give him a pass on race or any of these other games he plays, because theyre too consistent over time. Its a feature. Today president obama addressed the United Nations. This is his last time as president to address the United Nations. Our next president will be the next u. S. President to do it. I dont suggest anyone imagine donald trump doing this while we watch president obama do it. That would be too painful an exercise, but lets watch what the president had to say today at the u. N. Our manation began with a promise of freedom that applied only to the few. But because of our democratic constitution, because of our bill of rights, because of our ideals, ordinary people were able to organize and march and protest and ultimately those ideals won out. Opened doors for women and minorities and workers in ways that made our economy more productive and turned our diversity into a strength. That gave innovators the chance to transform every area of human endeavor. That made it possible for someone like me to be elected president of the United States. Mark, two Major Party Candidates for president , one of them understands all of that. And one understands mottnot a se word of it. Again, donald trump wants to do what those did during the turn of the century, he and his minions want to reverse the minion of the first africanamerican president , and listen, im hearing that people at the u. N. , not far from here are horrified. Can this man be president . Theyre looking at us, saying, are you all about to elect this crazy man . Because hes a wildcard. Nobody knows what hes going to do. It is a horrifying experience. I think marks on target. There is a great deal of anxiety about the temperament you need as president. Yeah. And no matter what you think about donald trump as a showman, performer or reality tv star, a pitchman, a guy who sells weird steaks and bad water, this is a guy who does not have the temperament to go and deal with the International Problems and crises of this country. He proves it every day. Thank you very much for joining us. Thank you. Coming up, donald trump used other peoples money and pretended it was his own for charitable contributions, and now, thanks to David Fahrenthold, he used some of that money as payment in court cases, cases that he lost, and that is a clearly illegal use of charitable money. Also, Hillary Clinton supporter tom styer will join us on a last word exclusive. He will make a major announcement right here about how he intends to help the Clinton Campaign in the battleground states. Youre not taking these. Hey, h, hey youre not taking those.

Today, the most oblivious candidate in the history of president ial campaigns, the only one in history to be facing coasttocoast fraud charges in courts while campaigning for president said this. Its called opm. I do that all the time. Called other peoples money. Theres nothing like doing things with other peoples money, because it takes the risk. Opm. Other peoples money. He was talking about that absurdist piece of his Foreign Policy in which he will of course force other countries to pay for things that he wants them to do. That ridiculous donald trump fantasy that will never happen. Unfortunately, using and abusing other peoples money, unlike Everything Else he does is not a trump fantasy, it is a sad and at least one case illegal reality. David fahrenthold has another major break through report on the Donald Trump Foundation that is filled with other peoples money, including 500,000 donated by nbc during the run of Donald TrumpsTelevision Show during which donald trump then pretended to be giving away his own money to charities. David fahrenthold reports that donald trump used 258,000 from his Charitable Foundation to settle two legal cases. Remember, this is the same donald trump who says he never loses lawsuits, and he never settles lawsuits. In fact, he is frequently defeated in court and frequently settles. In one case he used 100,000 of other peoples money, deposited into the Trump Foundation for Charitable Giving, used that to pay a settlement in a court case, and in the other one he used 158,000 to settle a court case. That is a clear violation of law. To use Charitable Funds in cases like this. This section ais exactly why thy general of new york said he is taking a very close look at the Trump Foundation. Joining me now is an expert in charity and foundation law. And also the author of trump nation. And i want to go first to you, youve been studying this Guys Operations for so long. Your surprise level at discovering this latest twist in the story . Zero. Zero. Okay. I think other peoples money will probably be his epitaph. And give us the legal picture of what you see when you look at these transactions. Well, as you said, i, i look at it law perspective. When people give, they get a deduction. And then typically, someone will start a private foundation because they want to be generous, and they want to use in that private foundation to accomplish charitable things in the world with their money. And they put in their money, then it becomes a Charitable Asset and used to accomplish charitable things in the world. What seems to be going on with the Trump Foundation is a little different. I havent personally investigated his foundation or looked at the documekdockmentum. But he hasnt given to the foundation in years, and hes actually, instead raising money from other people, and when he gets to give it out, it comes as a gift from the Trump Foundation with his name on it. Now that wouldnt be illegal, but when he uses the Trump Foundation money, these charitably charged assets for the benefit of the world or society or the public, however you want to put it, and he uses them to essentially pay off his debts, either his debts to charity or sometimes his settlements of lawsuitlawsuits, called a selftransaction. And it can result in heavy fines, and if its a repeated, flagrant or ongoing thing, it can actually cost the private foundation its taxexempt status. It would have to be terminated. And tim, this, obviously, the attorney general of new york is going to find this. It was delivered to him today in a newspaper article. Thats correct. Hes already looking at the Trump Foundation, but this is probably the smokiest gun in there so far. And remember, theres a real history of this. Over ten years ago, his Charitable Giving was looked at and traced years of nonexistent transactions, that hes a big supporter of vets. Theres no evidence anywhere that hes been a benefactor of veterans. If we had his tax returns, we would know how much Charitable Giving he has done personally, because that would appear on his tax returns, but of course those numbers are missing in action. And the Foundation Shows no contributions from him. And when he did do charitable contributions in t
