LEGACY FOR GOOD. WE WOULD GO TO JOHN HAPPYMEACHAM
ACT ABOUT THE HIMSELF TORESTORIC
AND THE PRESIDENT’S RATINGS ONCE
AGAIN DROPPING, IN THE 40s
>>
>> >>.
>>. >> HIS CLAIM OF TOTAL
EXONERATION SEEM TO BE RINGING
HOLLOW WITH THE PUBLIC
THE POLLS SHOW THE PRESIDENT’S
APPROVAL DROPPED TO A NEW LOW
FOR THIS YEAR.
>> A NEW LOW
IT’S EVEN LOWER THAN IT’S BEEN
>> YES
>> YES >> THE IPSOS/REUTERS POLL FOUND
TRUMP’S JOB APPROVAL HAS SUNK TO
37%, DOWN 6 POINTS BELOW WHERE
IT WAS, 56% DISAPPROVE,S THAT TH
TRUMP’S WORST PERFORMANCE IN
OVER A YEAR.
>> AND YET HE’S A CAN-DO SORT OF
FELLA, HIS CHIN STAYS HIGH, HE
NEVER TWEETS NEGATIVELY.
>> PRESIDENT TRUMP SPENT THE
WEEKEND AT HIS FLORIDA CLUB
TRYING TO PROJECT HE’S HAPPY AND
CALM, YET HIS ANGER OVER THE
MUELLER REPORT CONTINUED TO BOIL
OVER IN PUBLIC VIEW.
THE WHITE HOUSE TOOK THE RARE
STEP OF RELEASING PHOTOS OF THE
PRESIDENT WITH RADIO HOST RUSH
LIMBAUGH ON TRUMP’S GOLF COURSE.
>> HAPPY
>> HAPPY >> UNUSUAL SINCE THEY TYPICALLY
DON’T EVEN CONFIRM HE’S PLAYING
GOLF DURING HIS FREQUENT VISITS
TO GOLF PROPERTIES
THE PRESIDENT LATER RETWEETED
HIS DIRECTOR OF SOCIAL MEDIA,
THE GUY WHO USED TO RUN HIS
CLUB, WHO WROTE, I AM WITH THE
PRESIDENT AT THE SOUTHERN WHITE
HOUSE.
HOUSE. I HAVE NEVER SEEN HIM HAPPIER.
>> SEE, HE’S HAPPY
>> TRUMP THEN SENDING THAT
MESSAGE HIMSELF, QUOTE, I HAVE
NEVER BEEN HAPPIER OR MORE
CONTENT --
CONTENT -- >> BUT WHAT DID HE DO ALL
WEEKEND?
WEEKEND? >> WELL, HE CONTINUED TO FUME
OVER THE 448-PAGE MUELLER
REPORT, ALLEGING HE HAS BEEN
HISTORICALLY MISTREATED.
HISTORICALLY MISTREATED. WHILE AIDES AND ALLIES WENT ON
TELEVISION TO DISPUTE THE REPORT
OF TRUMP’S REACTION WHEN HE
LEARNED THE SPECIAL COUNSEL HAD
BEEN APPOINTED, WHEN HE SAID,
QUOTE, OH, GOD, THIS IS
TERRIBLE, THIS IS THE END OF MY
PRESIDENCY
PRESIDENCY >> I’VE BEEN BY DONALD TRUMP’S
SIDE UNINTERRUPTED FOR THREE
YEARS PRACTICALLY NOW, I HAVE
NEVER HEARD HIM THIS IS THE END
OF MY CANDIDACY, THE END OF MY
PRESIDENCY AND WE’VE BEEN IN
SOME PRETTY TOUGH SITUATIONS
TOGETHER
TOGETHER IN A IS NOT
THAT IS NOT THE WAY HE SPEAKS.
>> I’VE BEEN NEXT TO TRUMP, I’VE
NEVER HEARD HIM BE DEBBIE
DOWNER
DOWNER SO ANYBODY WHO SAYS HE’S SAID MY
PRESIDENCY IS OVER IS AN
ABSOLUTE LIAR.
ABSOLUTE LIAR. >> IT’S ALMOST AS IF THEY’RE
READING TALKING POINTS SENT OUT
BY SOMEBODY --
>> THEY WOULD NEVER DO THAT ON
FOX NEWS
FOX NEWS >> AN INNOCENT MAN DOES NOT
SCREECH AND COMPLAIN AND WINE
ALL WEEKEND.
ALL WEEKEND. THE REMARKABLE THING IS, JOHN,
SARCASM ASIDE, THIS JUST SHOWS
HOW INCAPABLE THIS PRESIDENT IS
FROM DOING ANYTHING THAT’S NOT
JUST ON THE FRONT OF HIS MIND.
HE’S BEEN VERY ANGRY ALL
WEEKEND.
WEEKEND. IT WASN’T IN HIS BEST INTEREST
POLITICALLY TO SHOW THAT ANGER
AND HE JUST CAN’T HELP HIMSELF
>> IT’S ALMOST AS IF SOMEONE AT
MAR-A-LAGO SAID YOU KNOW WHAT
WOULD REALLY MACKKE THEM ALL MAD
IS IF YOU WERE HAPPY
AND HE SAID, YEAH, I’M HAPPY
WHAT CONTINUES TO BE SO STRIKING
IS -- AND THIS IS NOT SARCASTIC
AT ALL, AND I GENUINELY DON’T
UNDERSTAND IT, IS GIVEN HIS
LEVEL OF SUPPORT WITH THOSE THAT
ARE INCLINED TO SUPPORT HIM,
WITH HIS BASE, WHY THERE HAS
NEVER BEEN FROM THE MOMENT HE
MOVED FROM ESCALATOR TO
PLAUSIBILITY AS A CANDIDATE AND
THEN ULTIMATELY TO THE
PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES,
WHY HE’S NEVER BEEN ABLE, FORGET
THE NATIONAL TRRKSINTERESTS, I’M
BEING THAT MYY Y NAIVE BUT WHY H
NEVER ABLE TO SEE HIS
SELF-INTEREST WOULD BE SERVED BY
SAY 25% OF NORMALVILLE, FOLLOW
25% OF THE STREET SIGNS, YOU
DON’T HAVE TO FOLLOW THEM ALL,
BUT WHERE’S THE INFRASTRUCTURE
BILL, WHERE’S THE PRESCRIPTION
DRUG REFORM, WHY NOT FIGURE OUT
A WAY TO GET THAT 37 BACK TO 47
OR EVEN 50
AND HE JUST INSISTS ON LIVING IN
THE BUBBLE THAT YOU SAW WITH
RUSH AND YOU SAW THERE WITH
CONWAY AND LUNECOREY LEWANDOWSKI
I THINK WE UNDERSTAND WHY HE GOT
ELECTED, THAT’S ABOUT POPULISM,
ABOUT UNEASE, WHAT TEN
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS, CLINTON
OR BUSH WAS ON 80% OF THE
TICKETS, OKAY, WE GET ALL THAT
BUT WHY NO CONCESSION TO, NO
ACCEPTANCE OF THE TOPOGRAPHY OF
NORMALCY THAT WOULD BENEFIT HIM.
I DON’T UNDERSTAND THAT.
>> IN A ISTHAT IS THE GREAT MYST
MIKA AND ME WHO HAVE KNOWN THE
MAN FOR OVER A DECADE AND HAVE
SEEN HIM
SEEN HIM AND STILL PEOPLE ARE SURPRISED
WHEN THEY CAN SEE HE CAN BE A
NORMAL MAN
NORMAL MAN HILLARY CLINTON SAID HE’S A FUN
GUY.
GUY. HOOVES FRIENDS WITH DEMOCRATS.
HE WAS FRIENDS WITH SCHUMER AND
ALL OF THEM AND DEALT WITH THEM.
SO THAT HAS BEEN THE GREAT
MYSTERY.
MYSTERY. LIKEWISE, THE GREAT MYSTERY TO
ME, ON A WEEKEND LIKE THIS
WEEKEND, THE MULE AREELLER REPOR
RELEASED, BUT HE DODGED THE
BULLET, DODGED THE LEGAL BULLET,
SO WHY NOT AT LEAST BE HAPPY OR
PLAY HAPPY AND STAY OFF OF
TWITTER.
TWITTER. WE’RE NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT HIM
DOING SOMETHING THIS WEEKEND
THAT IMPACTS THE POLLS AND MAYBE
WOULD HELP HMM TWO OR THREE
POINTS ONE WAY OR THE OTHER,
THIS IS MORE ABOUT THE CENTRAL
MYSTERY OF DONALD TRUMP AS A
POLITICIAN AND WHY HE DOES
THINGS, AGAIN, NOT ON THAT ARE
AGAINST THE AMERICAN INTERESTS
BUT HE IS CONSISTENTLY DOING
THINGS THAT ARE AGAINST HIS OWN
POLITICAL INTERESTS AND DRIVES
THOSE CLOSEST TO HIM INSIDE THE
WHITE HOUSE CRAZY REGARDLESS OF
WHAT THEY SAY ON FOX NEWS.
>> WHY DON’T WE DO SOME
LITERATURE, HOW ABOUT SOME ELIZ
ELIZABETHAN.
ELIZABETHAN. HE HAS SCOTTISH ANCESTRY
HE IS MacBETH PRESUMABLY
HE FEELS GUILTY OR HENRY IV.
HE’S SOMEONE WHO FEELS HE HAS
DONE SOMETHING ILLEGITIMATE TO
WIN POWER AND INSTEAD OF BOLDLY
MOVING FORWARD, HE IS OBSESSED
WITH THAT PAST
MAYBE THAT’S WRONG BUT IT’S AS
PLAUSIBLE AS ANYTHING ELSE IT
SEEMS TO ME.
>> IT’S PRETTY REMARKABLE WHAT’S
BEEN HAPPENING
BEEN HAPPENING MIKA, WE’VE TALKED ABOUT THIS
BEING THE CENTRAL MYSTERY OF THE
TRUMP PRESIDENCY FROM THE VERY
BEGINNING, THAT HE IS A DAY
TRADE ER
TRADE ER TRADER AND HAS STEADFASTLY
REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING TO GET
HIM TO 50%
YOU’RE LOOKING RIGHT NOW AT THE
ONLY PRESIDENT IN MODERN HISTORY
WHO HAS NEVER HIT 50% IN THE
POLLS.
POLLS. AND THE REASON HE HAS NEVER HIT
50% IN THE POLLS, MIKA, IS
BECAUSE HE HAS CHOSEN NOT TO
HE’S CHOSEN TO CONTINUE TO PLAY
SMALL BALL AND BE AS DIVISIVE AS
ANY OTHER PRESIDENT.
YES, WE CAN SIT HERE AND TALK
ABOUT HOW IT’S BAD FOR
CONSTITUTIONAL NORMS AND
DEMOCRACY, BUT AT THE END OF THE
DAY PERSONALLY IT’S BAD FOR HIS
OWN PRESIDENCY AND POLITICAL
BRAND WHEN HE COULD MAKE CHOICES
THAT GET HIM INTO THE MID 40s,
MAYBE EVEN UP TO 50%
>> AND LET’S NOT UNDERESTIMATE
THE LYING AND THE DAY TRADING
AND THE MANIPULATING OF THE
TRUTH AND THE IMPLICATIONS IT
HAS ON THIS COUNTRY.
WE CAN’T BE DOWER 24 HOURS A
DAY, BUT I FEEL IT EVERY TIME I
WATCH THE NEWS OR READ THE PAPER
AND LISTEN TO THE WAY HE IS
ACTING, KELLYANNE, SARAH
SANDERS, EVERYONE IN THIS
ADMINISTRATION WHO SHILLS FOR
THIS PRESIDENT, ACTS LIKE
LACKEYS FOR THIS PRESIDENT, LIES
FOR THIS PRESIDENT
THIS IS NOT NORMAL AND MY
