You say it as if its a bad thing, hallie jack sson. Msnbc headquarters here in new york. A day after the midterms, still a number of races to decide, enough results for both parties to take a victory lap. President trump will take his this hour, the president scheduled to appear in the eastern room of the white house for a News Conference roughly 30 minutes from now. Today hes already touted himself as the magic man for last nights senate wins. Never mind losing the house, though. President trump also had a message for the Incoming Democratic majority in the house. Investigate me . We investigate you. We also heard from Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell just a few moments ago. The Democrats In The House will have to decide just how much president ial harassment they think is good strategy. Today is more than about democrats and republicans, its about restoring the constitutions checks and balances to the trump
administration. One of the first orders of business that i think that d
but he does have a following. 66% of republicans in a cbs poll today said that they you know, that they they support pardoning the hostages the hostages, pardoning the folks who were convicted in the insurrection. so he is you know, he has masterfully sold his story. he is a a master brander, and he s sold this story to the base. adam s right, the people who i think are most shameful here are the folks who know better. elise stefanik was i m old enough to remember when she was a kind of sensible center right republican. adam probably remembers that, too. then she got the smell of possibility here, of opportunity, and she threw in with trump with both feet and now she s mimicking his point on you know, his
court system. so as much as yes he is a master brander. he is trying to call this without any evidence that its election interference and he will work every level he can work. the problem is, he has no levers inside the actual court process to work that is for attorneys, the judge the jury, and that is not a position he is normally found himself and it s going to be more important than ever. you think that he would start listening to his attorneys because he s famously doesn t or his advisers, but you know, he was put out on truth social. there was that meme of him holding a baseball bat and alvin bragg. things like that are not going to be, uh, gonna fly when , as you said he doesn t have any control. he doesn t have a course of republican senators to defend him here. he s already starting to attack the judge in this case. uh you know, it would be interesting to see whether or not that continues because this is a legal proceeding, and judges typically don t like defendants going aroun
trump criticizing someone for being good at public relations? i mean, you know, he s a master brander, and that s what he s all about. so he s kind of criticizing, uh, santa s for doing what he s done for so long. but i just said, it s really got drawn into this current thing because don donald trump jr and others were baiting him and saying, why aren t you speaking out on behalf of the president against this obviously political prosecution in new york and so he did what he s he did in that broadcast, but earlier to an audience, he said. i don t know anything about what it s like to pay off a porn star , you know, paid hush money to a point star. but and then he slammed the prosecutor for being a dis. you know george soros supported left wing prosecutor who wants to politicize his prosecution. so he did a little of both right and that s his message. his messages you can have trumpism without the craziness in the chaos, and
seemingly reluctantly. um yeah. is that wise? well, first of all , it s isn t it ironic to hear trump criticizing someone for being good at public relations? i mean, you know, he s a master brander, and that s what he s all about. so he s kind of criticizing, uh, santa s for doing what he s done for so long. but i just said, it s really got drawn into this current thing because don donald trump jr and others were baiting him and saying, why aren t you speaking out on behalf of the president against this obviously political prosecution in new york and so he did what he s he did in that broadcast, but earlier to an audience, he said. i don t know anything about what it s like to pay off a porn star , you know, paid hush money to a point star. but and then he slammed the prosecutor for being a. you know george soros supported left wing prosecutor who wants to politicize his prosecution. so he did a little of both right and that s his
