>> DONALD TRUMP IS THE ONLY PRESIDENT WHO, FROM THE START,
HAS ASPIRED TO BE THE DIVIDER IN CHIEF.
THANKS TO THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE, DONALD TRUMP WON THE PRESIDENCY
BY COMING IN SECOND WITH 46.1% OF THE VOTE TO HILLARY CLINTON'S
48.2% OF THE VOTE. YOU WOULD THINK THAT A PRESIDENT
WHO CAME IN SECOND IN THE VOTE WOULD IMMEDIATELY GO TO WORK
TRYING TO BROADEN HIS APPEAL, TO GAIN MORE VOTER SUPPORT.
THAT IS WHAT EVERY PRESIDENT TRIES TO DO NO MATTER WHAT THEIR
THAT IS ONE REASON WHY THEIR APPROVAL RATINGS TEND TO GO UP
AFTER ELECTION DAY AND AFTER INAUGURATIONS.
NOT DONALD TRUMP. HE HELD MEETINGS WITH SOME
PEOPLE LIKE AL GORE DURING THE TRANSITION THAT INDICATED
PERHAPS THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY WAS GOING TO TRY TO REACH BEYOND
THAT MINORITY OF VOTERS WHO ELECTED HIM, BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT
HAPPENED. DONALD TRUMP HAS CONTINUED THE
DIVISIVE POLITICS OF HIS PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN THROUGH
EVERY DAY OF HIS PRESIDENCY. HE HAS DIVIDED THE COUNTRY IN
HIS MIND BETWEEN PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR HIM AND PEOPLE WHO
DIDN'T. IF YOU DIDN'T VOTE FOR HIM, HE
CLEARLY DOES NOT CARE WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT ANYTHING.
HE DOESN'T CARE WHAT YOU WANT. IF YOU VOTED FOR HIM, YOU CAN DO
NO WRONG. THAT IS DONALD TRUMP'S GOLDEN
RULE. IF YOU VOTED FOR HIM, YOU CAN DO
NO WRONG, AND THAT IS WHAT IS SINKING DONALD TRUMP'S
PRESIDENCY AND DIVIDING THE COUNTRY.
IF YOU VOTED FOR HIM, YOU CAN DO NO WRONG.
WHITE SUPREMACISTS VOTED FOR DONALD TRUMP.
AMERICAN NAZIS VOTED FOR DONALD TRUMP.
THAT'S WHY DONALD TRUMP WILL NEVER UNEQUIVOCALLY CONDEMN THEM
THE WAY ANY OTHER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES WOULD.
DONALD TRUMP KNOWS WHAT WHITE SUPREMACISTS AND NAZIS WANT TO
HEAR, AND THAT'S WHY, AS WE REPORTED HERE LAST NIGHT, DAVID
DUKE, ANOTHER WHITE SUPREMACIST, GAVE THE PRESIDENT RAVE REVIEWS
FOR WHAT HE SAID YESTERDAY ABOUT BOTH SIDES BEING TO BLAME FOR
THE MURDER OF HEATHER HEYER IN CHARLOTTESVILLE ON SATURDAY.
WHITE SUPREMACISTMACISTS AND NA WERE THRILLED THAT THE AMERICAN
PRESIDENT DREW A MORAL EQUIVALENCE BETWEEN NAZI RACISTS
AND PEOPLE PROTESTING NAZI RACISTS.
WE'VE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE, AND WE SAY THAT EVERY NIGHT
ABOUT THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY. WE'VE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE,
BUT THE FUNDAMENTAL POLITICAL PRINCIPLE THAT MAKES DONALD
TRUMP THE DIVIDER IN CHIEF IS THAT HE IS THE ONLY PRESIDENT WE
HAVE EVER SEEN WHO HAS NEVER MADE THE SLIGHTEST ATTEMPT TO
WIN MORE SUPPORTERS, TO WIN MORE HEARTS AND MINDS, TO WIN MORE
VOTES. IF YOU WEREN'T WITH HIM ON
ELECTION DAY, HE HASN'T TRIED TO CONVERT YOU SINCE.
AND WE HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE IN A PRESIDENT OR IN A
POLITICIAN. DONALD TRUMP USED TO SAY HE'S
NOT A POLITICIAN, AND HE'S RIGHT.
HE'S NOT SMART ENOUGH TO BE A POLITICIAN.
HE'S NOT SENSITIVE ENOUGH TO BE A POLITICIAN.
HE DOES NOT HAVE THE HUMANITY TO BE A POLITICIAN, AND THAT IS A
VERY, VERY LOW BAR FOR HUMANITY. CAN'T EVEN FAKE IT.
AND THE RESULT IS THE DIVIDER IN CHIEF.
HIS APPROVAL RATING HAS BEEN IN STEADY DECLINE SINCE
INAUGURATION DAY, AND THIS WEEK HE HAD AN ALL-TIME LOW OF 34%.
HE NO LONGER HAS THE APPROVAL OF ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR
HIM. HE IS THE DIVIDER IN CHIEF IN
HIS OWN WHITE HOUSE, WHICH IS FULL OF FACTIONS, PRO-BANNON
FACTIONS, ANTI-BANNON FACTIONS, PRO-JARED, ANTI-JARED, AND THERE
IS THE NEW WHITE HOUSE CHIEF OF STAFF, GENERAL JOHN KELLY, WHO
IS REPORTED TONIGHT BY "THE WASHINGTON POST" TO BE, QUOTE,
FRUSTRATED AND DISMAYED BY THE PRESIDENT'S LACK OF DISCIPLINE.
AND ACCORDING TO THE POST, THE PRESIDENT IS FRUSTRATED WITH THE
DISCIPLINE THAT GENERAL KELLY HAS BEEN ABLE TO INTRODUCE IN
THE WHITE HOUSE. THE POST REPORTS, ONE PERSON
CLOSE TO THE PRESIDENT DESCRIBED HIM AS A CAGED ANIMAL UNDER
KELLY. DO WE HAVE TO NOTE HERE THAT NO
PRESIDENT IN HISTORY HAS EVER BEEN DESCRIBED AS A CAGED ANIMAL
BY SOMEONE IN HIS WHITE HOUSE? NEVER.
DO YOU WANT TO THINK ABOUT WHAT THAT MEANS TO HAVE A CAGED
ANIMAL AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES?
IF YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD AN IRRATIONAL, DANGEROUS, IMPULSIVE
PRESIDENT BEFORE HE STARTED TO FEEL LIKE A CAGED ANIMAL, WHAT
DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE IN THAT CAGE TONIGHT?
THE SAME "WASHINGTON POST" ARTICLE REPORTS THIS.
GARY COHN, TRUMP'S TOP ECONOMIC ADVISER, WHO IS JEWISH, APPEARED
WITH TRUMP AT TUESDAY'S NEWS CONFERENCE STANDING BEHIND THE
PRESIDENT IN THE LOBBY OF TRUMP TOWER AS HE SUGGESTED THERE WERE
GOOD PEOPLE WHO PROTESTED ALONGSIDE WHITE SUPREMACISTS AND
NEO-NAZIS WHO ORGANIZED THE RALLY.
THOSE CLOSE TO COHN DESCRIBED HIM AS DISGUSTED AND FRANTICALLY
UNHAPPY THOUGH HE DID NOT THREATEN TO RESIGN.
AS THE FRANTICALLY UNHAPPY GARY COHN SPENT THE DAY IN SEARCH OF
HIS DIGNITY AND HIS CONSCIENCE, OTHERS DID RESIGN FROM TRUMP
WORLD. NONE OF THEM HELD ACTUAL PAYING
JOBS OR DID ANYTHING MEANINGFUL. THEY WERE MEMBERS OF THE
PRESIDENT'S COUNCIL ON MANUFACTURING WHO, TWO DAYS
LATER, FOLLOWED THE LEAD OF KEN FRAZIER, TIER, THE CEO OF MERCK
WAS THE FIRST TO QUIT THE UTTERLY MEANINGLESS PRESIDENTIAL
COUNCIL THAT HAS NO REAL FUNCTION.
THE MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL WHO QUIT TODAY BEFORE THE PRESIDENT
THEN ABANDONED THE COUNCIL NOW HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE SHAME OF
THE 48 HOURS IT TOOK THEM TO FOLLOW KEN FRAZIER'S LEAD.
TODAY THE DIVIDER IN CHIEF BECAME TOO MUCH FOR THE MEMBERS
OF THE PRESIDENT'S STRATEGIC AND POLICY FORUM, WHICH IS ANOTHER
GROUP OF CEOs THAT HAD NO FUNCTION AT ALL.
THEY ALL AGREED AMONG THEMSELVES TODAY TO SIMPLY QUIT AS A GROUP,
AND THE PRESIDENT GOT WIND OF THAT BEFORE THEY COULD PUBLICLY
DO IT AND IN A TWEET, HE DISBANDED THE GROUP JUST BEFORE
THEY COULD PUBLICLY RESIGN. AND IT WAS JUST MOMENTS AGO THAT
THIS PRESIDENT WAS LYING TO THE COUNTRY BY SAYING THAT THESE
COUNCILS OF CEOs WERE HUGELY IMPORTANT TO THE MASSIVE JOB
CREATION THAT DONALD TRUMP WAS CONVINCING THEM TO DO IN THEIR
OWN COMPANIES IN THE UNITED STATES.
AND NOW THEY'RE ALL GONE. DON'T NEED 'EM.
GONE. TODAY THE PRESIDENT ANNOUNCED HE
WOULD GO TO PHOENIX NEXT WEEK AND HAVE ONE OF THOSE TRUMP
RALLIES THAT NEVER HAVE THE SLIGHTEST APPEAL TO ANYONE WHO
DID NOT VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP. AND THE DIVIDER IN CHIEF GOT A
MESSAGE TONIGHT FROM THE MAYOR OF PHOENIX, ASKING HIM NOT TO
COME. AN AMERICAN MAYOR ASKING AN
AMERICAN PRESIDENT NOT TO COME TO HIS CITY.
THE MAYOR SAID, I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT PRESIDENT
TRUMP HAS CHOSEN TO HOLD A CAMPAIGN RALLY AS OUR NATION IS
STILL HEALING FROM THE TRAGIC EVENTS IN CHARLOTTESVILLE.
BUT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES IS NOT STILL HEALING FROM
THE TRAGIC EVENTS IN CHARLOTTESVILLE.
HE'S ALL HEALED. HE'S ALL R
