position on the pair climate deal, he s not talking about repealing and replacing obamacare, he did not mention the wall in that video s there a sense that we don t really know who the country has just elected in terms of the policies that he stands for, the policies that he will enact? are we finding that pretty much everything he said on the campaign trail, lock her up, put hillary clinton in prison, is something that s negotiable right now? well, of course. remember, donald trump was always the presidential candidate that said everything is negotiable. of course, was never really hard and fast on any policy issues. i think the point you re bringing up on some of the key components where he was entirely consistent, whether it was building the wall, whether it was rescinding president obama s executive actions on immigration, and, of course, when it comes to hillary clinton, even on those matters that he was entirely consistent on, that he s walking some of that stuff back is pretty

conflict of interest in this country but talking about it so openly, saying in theory he could do both. i think it s interesting and notable. the other notable series of tweets that i think came out earlier in the afternoon, during the last hour of msnbc, was his discussion about the alt-right movement. as you know, this is a conservative extremist movement with ties to white nationalism. there was a conference of the alt-right movement here in washington led by richard spencer. the president-elect was asked about that conference specifically and directly, because we had heard from his transition staff previously, a spokesman saying the president-elect denounces racism, but the president-elect himself in response to a question said, i disavow, i renounce that support, and i disavow members of that movement, which i think is certainly notable given the conversation that we have been having on this network, other networks, about white nationalism, about the alt-right, about the hate crim
