Word, nationalist. donald trump, does he he not know, does he not care? that word can mean a lot of different things. the context of donald trump, it means, b what is donald trumpian nationalism? when, we ve seen it in the past. the transactional nature, america first. the focus on spreading fear of the other. this notion that he knows the price of everything, but the value of nothing. but i don t know that at this point, donald trump is really telling us anything about himself that we have not seen over and over and over again in different contexts. but, and i think that this this campaign, his use of the caravan, the kind of rhetoric that he s using, is not only indicative of exactly the kind of politics he represents, but what we can expect between now and 2020 as well. peter baker, the white

Roughing up michelle fields and what we read about john kelly most recently, about him getting into a very heated debate just outside the oval office with john bolton. what did you uncover in reporting about the president s either appetite for or tolerance of such physicality? yeah, well, it s certainly tolerant of because john kelly is still on staff after a series of these sort of escalating fights in the west wing. what we know about the president is that since he was a businessman, he enjoyed sort of pitting his own aides against each other and that has followed through to his time at the white house. corey lewandowski is, of course, an informal adviser who gains access to the west wing, has the president s ear. there are several west wing aides who do not agree with this, who try to keep him really contained. on air force one i have seen aides try to contain corey lewandowski when he s running around the plane. really? yeah. i think there s a lot of tension
Outside the oval, according to half dozen people familiar with the event. the brawl which mr. kelly grabbed mr. lewandowski by the collar and tried to have him rejected from the west wing came at a time the chief of staff faced uncertainty over how long president trump would keep him in the job. joining us for more is katie rogers. tell us about this brule. this is the second fight involving john kelly we heard about in less than five days. i think it s important to note that this came during a period of a lot of unrest in the white house. this was in the midst of the rob porter resignation scandal, which john kelly, if you remember, was initially reluctant to let mr. porter go. and everything i know from reporting this particular story out is that the more somebody like john kelly faces frustrations, the more likely he is to take it out in this sort of way. katie, i read your story last night when it showed up online and the first thought i had was corey lewandowski s history of
Has aboutspeaking to our better angels. john meacham has written one book about that in terms of our history. i don t know why democrats are getting kicked around so much. they seem decidedly on message and the right one. i agree. i think what you just showed was the future of the democratic party and andrew gillum and stacey abrams, beto o rourke, who are really inspiring people to show up to the polls. and the key, of course, for democrats is going to be get your turnout. you know, make sure your voters show up to vote. we ve already seen some indications that, you know, voting is going to be on par to a presidential election. and this is a time where democrats need to just be focused on the goal. and never mind all this national conversation, but a real positive message going into these next two weeks, and turning voters out and i think that you re going to see not just the house flip, but i think a lot of these senate races, in fact, are going to be closer than we ve seen. tim,
