what does donald trump do? he walks away from that agreement, he imposes tough new sanctions on the iranians, and prompts, it seems, the iranians to abandon the limits on their own enrichment programme. you can, you know, you can argue which is the right approach, but, you know, the agreement did not stop their enrichment of uranium. but surely the lesson the iranians are bound to draw, if you acquire nuclear weapons, donald trump, you call him a businessman, a wheeler dealer, a guy who negotiates, donald trump, once you have nuclear weapons, will treat you in a very different way. i don't look at it that way. the way i look at it is he, donald trump, you know, love him or hate him, he believes he can negotiate a deal. that's what he believes. i mean, he wrote the book. he believes he can do that. with iran, his belief, you know, and i think a lot of americans‘, including my belief, is that the deal was not a good deal. we gave iran a lot of the money. they didn't stop supporting hamas and hezbollah. there we

donald trump lost zero friends on 9/11. donald trump attended zero 9/11 funerals, zero. not hundreds, zero. if donald trump had attended even a single 9/11 funeral or if he had lost a single distant acquaintance on 9/11, you would have heard about that today. if donald trump lost many, many friends on 9/11, you would have heard about that today. so donald trump's silence today about his own lying claim of suffering the loss of hundreds of friends on 9/11 proves once again that he was lying when he tried to tale the grief of the people who lost loved ones on 9/11 and make that grief his own. and it proves once again that donald trump will lie to anyone at any time in any place on any occasion, no matter how sacred or solemn, about anything. that is tonight's last word. "the 11th hour" with brian williams starts now. "the 11th hour" with brian williams starts now. >>> tonight, the president of these united states has attacked baltimore. it's being received as bigoted, race-based, if not surprising as the president attacks another member of congress in a storied american ci

this is donald trump. of course it's not a dog whistle, it's a bull horn to his most bigoted, racist supporters and we'll just see what happens. so president trump meant most of the day doubling down on those tweets over the weekend. attacking a group of progressive women for being critical of the united states just like the president is constantly critical of the united states. during the event that was supposed to highlight american made products, donald defended his remarks in which he said the four democrats should quote, go back to the crime infested places from which they came. of course when he says that he's talking about cincinnati, and detroit and new york city. later in the day the four congresswomen that president trump attacked in the tirade stood side by side to denounce the comments. here is a little bit of how the day unfolded. >> as far as i'm concerned, if you hate our country, if you're not happy here, you can leave. >> our squad is big. our squad includes any person committed to buildin

he was the donald trump of american politics before donald trump became donald trump of american politicians. the right wing of politics doesn't need two donald trumps. no one really cares what rush limbaugh says. not even rush limbaugh. the latest crazy thing that rush limbaugh says nowadays never makes it into the american news media because it's not as crazy as what the president of the united states said every day. including what the president said tonight. rush limbaugh had to give up many of his beliefs to become the faithful trump follower that he is and he confessed publicly that they were never beliefs at all. he didn't believe all that stuff he was saying. stuff that he and other republicans were lying about what they believed. he actually said that on his radio show and at the end of this hour, pulitzer prize winning columnist will join us about what donald trump has done not just to the republican party, but to our politics and whether the damage can be repaired. when donald trump won the presidential nomination, this week he said that the damage the presidency of donald trump ha

we don't believe donald trump. every other republican who voted not to condemn the president but voted in effect to condemn themselves, they did that, they voted to condemn themselves in history as actively complicit in the president's racism. before the vote the president tweeted "those tweets were not racist. i don't have a racist bone in my body. the so-called vote to be taken is a democratic con game. republicans should not show weakness and fall into their trap." i don't know why the president capitalizes the "r" in the word "racist" the way religious people capitalize the letter "g" in "god" out of reverence for that word. is it donald trump's reverence for the word "racist?" is that what he is signaling to racists with that upper case "r" for "racist?" is that what he's doing? every republican showed weakness and fell into donald trump's racist trap today except those four republicans who voted against donald trump's racism. why is it always the bones? why do racists always talk about their bones, as in i do

trump is just united states by blood donald trump isjust promise united states by blood donald trump is just promise the united states that huawei can have relationships with us companies. i think 20 has said is that they can do component sales to huawei but while they can't sell them to the united states —— i think what he has said. it is my understanding. your fellow floridian senator marco rubio has called donald trump's let us talk on huawei asa donald trump's let us talk on huawei as a "catastrophic mistake". china is not a friend, huawei is not negotiable, it is a national security threat, president trump needs to stay strong against huawei. are you with marco rubio or with donald trump? so, he's around. they should not be doing business in the united states, huawei should not be. if he is saying that american companies can sell to huawei and while they can sell to someone else, eye can understand that. i don't know if they would do that. my concern is the national security interests of the united states. i don't believe huawei is a part of a trade negotiation. it has nothi

donald trump is a rolling crisis. we ignore so much of the stupid human tricks he does where no one gets hurt. we started this show with a democratic congresswoman concerned about the safety of the lives of the women he attacked and everywhere. on this landscape and in this field, is there any sense from voters do they want to see how these candidates engage trump or do voters in the field really want to get back to policy. >> reporter: it's an interesting point. i don't mean to minimize what's going on here and the base level the president dropped the national discussion. the main reason i look at a different patriotism, people look how kamala harris changed them on the national debate stage and close their eyes and envision donald trump on the debate stage, there is a value how they would deal with his domination of media coverage. that's one of a set of skills, not necessarily the thing democratic primary voters say, look how they responded to trump incident y and will be committed to caucus six or sevennous. >> we

donald trump knew about jeffrey epstein and what donald trump called the younger side. terrific guy. that's what jeffrey epstein was to donald trump. to this day donald trump has not said a negative word about jeffrey epstein. donald trump has attacked the leaders of countries that are the strongest allies and attacked congressman justin amash this weekend for leaving the republican party. donald trump attacked elizabeth warren, chuck schumer, attacked me. he attacked hundreds and hundreds and thousands of people and never once said a single negative word about jeffrey epstein, not one word. jeffrey epstein does did not see it coming when his private plane took off from paris. >> epstein was arrested this past saturday evening at the airport aboard his private jet that had just landed from paris, france. >> contemporaneous with the arrest from epstein, agents executed a search warrant on his mansion in new york city. they recovered and seize and that was a search pursuant to a valid warrant and agent seized evidence including nude photographs of what appear to be undera

. >> including donald trump. >> including donald trump. and then kavanaugh just decided and was coached to basically blow up and like chew the scenery as we say in the theater, right, to just act basically. perform his outrage and that turned everything, as if it changed somehow the truth of what we had seen the day before. it's a very sad moment in our democracy that the media is creating these rules and being played by donald trump in a lot of ways. >> you're an expert in disinformation. russian disinformation. but we're consuming a lot of it. i don't know if everyone even knows they are. your thoughts on -- just pick up on where heather took us. >> i mean, he's the master of disinformation, donald trump. the same way putin weaponized greefrance in russia and isis weaponiz weaponize grievance among muslims. i remember a mythical time called "tthe '60s, which not everyone remembers here around the table. and the demonstrations for ford increased it. i would be dismayed if there were not more demonstrations. it r

neal katyal is one of the lawyers that got donald trump to surrender by beating donald trump in the united states supreme court on the census case, and he joins us now. neal katyal is former@solicitor general in the obamaings in and an msnbc legal contributor. and neal, i have to bring you up to date on the breaking news, at 10:33 p.m., just minutes ago, the president has tweeted again on this. he said, a very sad time for america when the supreme court of the united states won't allow a question of is this person a citizen of the united states to be asked on the 2020 census going on for a long time. i have asked the department of commerce and the department of justice to do whatever is necessary to bring this most vital of questions and this very important case to a successful conclusion. and then for somine inexplicabl reason, he says "usa" three times. apparently no one has told the president that the case has reached a successful conclusion. >> yeah, it's a thoroughly odd tweet. and it's very similar to the tweet he issued last week when he lost at the supreme court. that was a really

>> guest: that is talking about donald trump's presidency, not talking about just how donald trump used television but as president he has been used by it which is to say he is an avid cable news the or, wakes up with fox and friends, gets agitated by television, tweets about it, those tweets become the news, he watches the news reaction to his tweets, tweets further. there is something in the modern media culture where it is like we are living in a show that is being produced for one viewer in chief. the title has larger resonance because one thing the book is talking about as well as donald trump is the tendency in media to move from this monoculture, smooth tones mass media audience to this internet bubble audience where we are broken into smaller and smaller groups until each of us is an audience of one. >> host: do you find yourself with a grudging respect for donald trump's manipulation of television? >> guest: you don't become president without being good at something and donald trump became president because he is very good at directing attention to himself and using attention.

you said yes to president trump in 2016, and i know you will say yes to donald trump in 2020! [cheers and applause] vice president pence: you know, i don't have to tell any of you gathered here, president donald trump is the real deal. he's a man who says what he means and means what he says. [cheers and applause] vice president pence: and i promise you, you gets up every day and fights to keep the promises that he made to the people of north carolina. i see it every day. think about it. this president promised to rebuild our military and president trump signed the largest investment in our national defense since the days of ronald reagan. [cheers and applause] vice president pence: he promised to stand with our allies and stand up against our enemies. under this commander in chief, with the courage of our delta force out at fort bragg, our orces captured the last person from isis in syria. and this president kept a promise with four of his predecessors in the white house when he moved the american embassy to jerusalem, the apital of the state of israel. he promised our vetera

including donald trump. donald trump has come two or three times to national action network's convention. donald trump called me and asked me to meet with him after he was elected. if you thought somebody hated whites and cops, why would you go to their conventions? why would you call them as president? omarosa manigault wrote in her book he continuously said to get out and meet with me. he doesn't believe that. but he believes he can play the race card and play it on people in a demagogic way to try to in some kind of way energize them and to ignite them in a racial divide that would lead to his re-election. i think it's bad for the country, and i do not think it will work politically. >> yeah. and the point about his son owning property, himself -- wonder who owns those buildings because i wonder if we looked into it if people are mistreating the folks in those buildings. maybe we want to talk to those folks. reverend al sharpton, michael steele, thank you both for being here and what you did today. apprec

by the second year, the trump presidency knows everyone in the media called donald trump a liar repeatedly. "the washington post" now keeps an official count of donald trump's lies. references to donald trump as a racist slowly increased overtime and they were always met with challenges. how do you know he's a racist. the news media has gone through years of hair splitting on the differences between saying something racist and being a racist as if there is a difference. historians will not go through the same struggle that the american news media has been going through for years on whether or not donald trump has been a racist. an overt racist like his father arrested at a ku klux klan rally in 1927. they will match his language as a candidate in 2016 to the segregationist alabama governor george wallace's language when he ran for president in 1968 and historians will see it is virtually the same. as we showed you, that comparison between george wallace and donald trump during the last campaign. his campaign manager from 1968 came on this program to tell you that when he listened to donald

with donald trump and two others. he is sort of in the back back there. seeing these men in the cages with the vice president. what republicans have been trying to do is say the crowd might have been not great, but the president is wonderful. >> with republicans, i think that we know what donald trump is. we know what he always has been. it may ratchet up a little bit as 2020 approaches. that's the donald trump we will get and always have gotten. what we spoke about in the editorial is the shift of how they speak to that decency question. back in 2016, they were willing to raise their hand and say this doesn't represent our party and our country. this week we have seen how much of a shift we had. tom tillis pretty much decided that he was going to pretend that he didn't know donald trump had a tweet. it just shows that this party has fully become donald trump's party now. >> he was there at the rally. we should make that point. stewart stevens said we have seen it sadly time and again. trump is the rightful to maddox

and donald trump loves him and admires him. it's shocking to me to watch the president of the united states convene with people like kim jong-un and vladimir putin and class himself as their friends and not friends of the west. so who leads the west when we don't lead? there isn't anyone. there isn't anyone, any country that has the power that we have, the power of our military or the power of our story. so if donald trump stays in power that story is probably done. it will be very hard to get back, hard to get into the supply chain of freedom. the supply chain hover the story of goodness and democracy so i worry that we're just going to keep sliding toward kleptocracy and americans will learn to live with it and then i don't know what happens. >> also we are now about two minutes out from wrapping this program and it's been very informative, again, the man who sold america, get this booker, raved this book. challenge yourself. what is it -- you'll know how to wrap tight now with two minutes out. >> guest: yes. >> host: what do

thank you, donald trump. you have just unified the democratic party that understands you're the party of that 35% may or may not be or identify with you as a racist and the rest of us -- and here's where democrats' strength is, is in their diversity, in their numbers, in the women. i think that that's the winning message going in to 2020. >> make no mistake, this is the play from this white house. the president, tim said it, it's about the base. it's about fighting this election on the same terms as the last election. they can echo these things whether it's dog whistles or fog horns but they can sound these notes and energize people to come out and turn out for the president. this is a fight he wants. last week the discussion of the so-called squad, if you will, congresswomen of color, dominated tucker carlson's show on fox news at night. the president last friday in the south lawn teased this attack a little bit, suggesting he sort of stepped in and tried to defend speaker pelosi saying, look, she should be

and got to give donald trump credit. actions speak louder than words. the statute you didn't see is billions of dollars going into black communities because of opportunities with ben carson and donald trump. not just that but 31/2 million african americans are off food stamps and now working. that is where we need to get to as the black community and i could go on and on with these policies, talk about historical black colleges, the former slave population, former slave population in america is the poorest, sickest and most uneducated group of people in america but liberal politicians want to talk about border crisis and letting more illegal immigrants come -- we have a former slave population that is still hurting and it is just not right, not okay. go into the neighborhoods in east cleveland, terrible crime rates. baltimore is like a war zone, chicago, talking dozens of black people killing each other because of systematic issues and something has to change and we got to wake up every single one of our urban areas is run by democratic leaders, there i

and i love that on the one hand, donald trump says, and his supporters say, you can't accuse donald trump of bigotry. right? and yet they call them anti-semii'ds all the time without virtually citing any evidence at all. >> whenever they say that, i want to know what the evidence is. i did a fact check on what then about it. what she did say about, the benjamins, then she said, she apologized and said that she was learning from her comments. which is something the president hasn't done. and they were elected because of those positions. but go on. >> if ilhan omar is anti-semitic for saying it is because of the benjamins, then donald trump is anti-semitic because he told the coalition in 2014 that they would support him because he donald trump has actually been more blatant about associating jews with money than ilhan omar has. so there is no good faith in this whatsoever. what this is is an attempt to delegitimize these women because donald trump is threatened by the demographic and cultural changes that they represent. and he doesn't want those people to be able to express themselves pol

they laughed at donald trump. everybody knew -- i have gone around the country and you talk to really rich people, they laugh at donald trump. they know he wasn't a billionaire. they know it was all a joke. he knows it too. there's legitimacy cries inside of him and bottomless pits of need inside of him and right now it's filled by his base because they worship him. and he wants what obama had but he will never have it. he wants to be the affirmative action president. like that job i should have gotten, that person should have gotten it but they were black. he wants us but he can't have us. >> that's for sure. >> this book is amazing. congratulations. >> thank you, thank you. >> the book is "the man who sold america." go by it if you haven't already. >> still ahead, robert mueller prepares to public on capitol hill as democrats and republicans prepare for battle. e >>> there was relentless speculation in the news media about the president's personal culpability. yet as he said from the beginning there was in fact

without making clear how donald trump says his administration plans to stop it. talk in texas, a battle with local tiffs, jesus welcomes you as you enter the small-town. after a lengthy court battle the town took down the sign. official status on public land and in the way of future development. the church is selling to fight back. seminal moment of the democratic presidential debates appear to be the confrontation between kamala harris and former vice president joe biden over his comments about segregationist lawmakers and his record on buzzing. tonight mark meredith takes a closer look at biden's paper nvidia trail on that busing issue. >> i did not oppose buzzing in america. >> reporter: joe biden talking about his record on civil rights. democrats #his opposition in 1970s to busing, policies requiring minority students to be transported into white neighborhoods to achieve racial integration. the washington post uncovered an interview from 1975 in which than senator biden said, quote, i oppose buzzing. it is an excellent concept. the utility pushes proven to m

donald j. trump. i mean, this was a truly deeply depressing weekend based upon that tweet that he put out. basically, the president of the united states saying to four women of color, go back where you belong. i mean, who hasn't heard that in the past and in this country? >> well, we'll talk about that for a second, mike, but tell me -- i mean, that's a great example though. that's going to be our next story. but that's a great example. once again, donald trump dividing up his 42, 43% on one side and on the other side, my gosh, if you're a person of color, if you're in wisconsin, if you're in michigan, if you're in pennsylvania, if you're in florida, you stayed home in record numbers when hillary clinton ran for president. are you going to stay at home to not vote against donald trump? >> well, you would hope not, but you know who knows? i mean, what he's done is though he continually focuses on the third of the population of this country. his base. he has no interest in expanding his base. so whateve

donald trump did that. he took them from a level of being mavericks to being the heroes of the nation to many people. why did he do it? is he stupid? or is he secretly trying to make them the democratic party? >> i don't know. >> politically he did it because if you look at swing states, aoc, representative ilhan are not very popular. democrats in some cases have raised that. so if the argument is a philosophical difference of socialism that is which also does not resonate very well in swing states, then let's have that argument. we have the apparatus. he did not do that. he made it personal based off of race. what really sorts of disappoints me as a republican, as a conservative more than anything, i'm a conservative who happens to belong to the republican party is that donald trump does not even respect the most basic norms, the most basic norms that i think even conservatives and liberals alike have agreed. these are the most basic forms of social knowledge. we all expect people to governor themselves ac

trump next year. >> i watched last night him saying donald trump's going to win, isn't he? this is the refrain i hear from democrats and republicans. here's what missing. who is the democratic leader who say this is the drop everything, get on an airplane, going to the steps of the capitol, go to a central location in des moines, iowa, go to new hampshire, and hold hands even if you hate each other and say this is who we are and stand there in a minority community and say, we are the party -- how many are running, 30, 25? all 25, even the two that dropped out. stand there together and hold hands, go to a minority community and say we've got your back. he led a racist chants. why didn't that happen? >> none of them have the gumption or moral clarity to make these arguments. this disgusts me. >> i'm a freaking republican, what? >> that's what people worry about with donald trump being able to be re-elected because he has conviction. even if the conviction is wrong. you have too many democrats worried about conviction. i saw bernie sanders trying to raise money off of it. my t

donald trump is there implicated in all this. there is a guy who is in prison right now for doing this. >> right. >> donald trump is the president. so what does that mean? >> what it means is we have a felon for a president who committee can't indict. don't forget, chris -- >> alleged felon. >> alleged felon. fair enough. >> come on. you're a defense lawyer now. >> i'm not defending donald trump. but let me say this. there are three other investigations at the southern district of new york supposedly has and is now undertaking. we don't know what those are. this is one i think we all expected to be closed because trump is the president. the two other main players here were given immunity. >> right. and she the guy clearly are directing. the person at the top of this entire pyramid is donald trump. >> right. so it's no surprised that they close this out. >> right. >> but the real question is how about those other three investigations. >> we think some of them have to do with the inaugural money. we will learn more about that, cynt

i strike them as donald trump's instincts. robert costa appropriately corrected that to what did he know and when did he know it. can you speak from the perspective of somebody who investigated criminals like epstein and associates, what are you looking for in the coming days and weeks on this story? >> this sort of ongoing investigation is incredibly important as you pointed out. there's a through line to the president's own conduct. i wish i was optimistic that reporting that lended credibility to the notion that the president was fully aware of epstein's conduct would matter but so much of this was baked in. the president was on videotape talking about a graphic sexual assault prior to the election. there's been very little coverage of recent -- more recent allegations of a rape that took place in a new york department store. so it's hard to see how this impacts the president personally but there is an interesting legal hook, nicolle, which is the stat sheet epstein was indicted under is a statute that has an internal obstr

but what donald trump has managed to do is make it normal. it's the most bizarre kind of backward thing that we're seeing. just what you were describing. i was thinking about what you were saying about epstein and donald trump. those are things you hear in a movie. >> those are things that end the political career of anybody before donald trump. >> that's so true. you hear about it in the movies but it's playing out in the white house right in front of us. we see donald trump doing a perp walk with alex acosta and giving a 30-minute press conference. first of all, alex acosta never should have had that job in the first place. let's not forget who was supposed to have that job, the labor secretary he wanted was accused of dating his wife. these are the types of people he's bringing into the white house, into his administration. so what is not normal becomes in this weird way normal because we're talking about all of these awful things week after week after week. next week it will be something else. >> ashley parker, maybe this is oversharing,

donald trump is the gop. donald trump is the head of the republican party. he's running -- all of the policies that donald trump is putting in place, your party 100% is standing behind him on whether it's the children in cages which violates all kinds of laws and maybe the geneva convention. they're behind him on tariffs which are destroying people's farms and ranches, destroying their lives. they're behind him on everything he does even if he's saying i'm going to ignore the supreme court. if no one is quit over that, charlottesville, nothing else, does the guy get credit for saying he has some principle? at some point he says enough. >> he totally gets credit for being his own man and standing up for things that he doesn't believe in or agree with, but to quit the party. the party is not the -- the republican party platform is not donald trump. it's a platform -- >> but it is. yes, it is. it is donald trump. it is 100% donald trump. it's whatever he wants, he does it. whatever donald trump wants, that's the platform. >> but he ran under the gop label. the

so it wasn't like we were all cool with donald trump. we were nothing with donald trump. it was like if i guy walked in here right now and was the head of the circus at madison square garden, you know, i might like him or not like him but nobody took him that seriously. you would say to him, oh, can i have that seat or something. donald trump was not a player. nobody was running to him if they were running to office in new york saying i need your endorsement. nobody was saying i need a photograph with you. he was not that kind of figure until birtherism. >> i want to say to you, karine, i think as i look at -- we know trump is a master of distraction, right? >> yep. >> he likes to, he gets in these fights to make you look away from whatever the more important thing is we should be looking at. he went after the squad. he regards them as he sees from his point of view, he looks at them and says they're divisive of the democratic party. there was a fight between him and pelosi. maybe i could drive a wedge in the democratic parties. he looks at sharpton, who has been a contro

lamed donald trump. but let me put up on the screen how some news organizations, this is cnn, reacted to the president saying. he started speaking quickly in order to move past the chant. >> why did you ask them to stop saying that? >> number one i think i did. i started speaking very quickly. [chanting] >> the media counter argued that the president did not do anything in real time. though he did attempt to distance himself. next day he was asked about the north carolina rally goers and he said they were patriots. >> is happened a week ago sunday. he said it and then it is not like the media that night said my god, he let 13 seconds go by. it was not until the next day when trump said the clip that we watched, that they then showed the clock, the timer. and said it is a lie. so it is not that the media was looking to jump on him for time, is that they were calling him out on a blatant lie. he did not try to speed up the speech, he does not try to stop it, he sat there and enjoyed it. >> i generally don'

in many ways he's like donald trump. in many ways he is not like donald trump. you know, he studied the classics at ox bridge. he's incredibly well read and he understands, you know, he understands philosophy. all those kind of high brow things. the question is whether he understands the kind -- the practical kind of politics and is going to put in the hard work that is needed and also whether he can unite people because he is -- we have a -- we have something you spread on toast called mar might back in the uk and some love it and some hate it. well, that is boris. he is marmite. >> let me go to the another part of the globe. the white house is hosting the prime minister of pakistan and a relationship that's been fraught at times. and in a briefing call the other day, the white house officials said they'd lean on pakistan to show they're committed to, you know, cracking down on -- to the terrorism. they don't want at it to be a host country for that. there's some skepticism in the administration that the terrorist will remain in custody. >> yeah, he's considere

that donald trump's district. he's the president of the entire united states and even the places that he criticizes at the end of the day that's under his jurisdiction and his watch. and it underscores there's never been a president who says it's not my problem. it's us versus them, that's not my people and that's what he's done here again today. >> yeah. of course, james fellows, that district also received less in tax cuts than large multinational corporations like amazon. i mean, every person in baltimore received fewer dollars in tax cuts than fortune 500 companies. and just give us a little perspective on baltimore. it has been a city that's been suffering since the 1960s. long before elijah cummings ever received his first vote from the public. >> sure. baltimore represents many of the big northeastern and upper midwest cities that over the last generation plus have had a number of blows. there was the urban renewal plans of the '60s and 70s were in retrospect often ill founded. there were big losses at beth

donald trump. after decades of clear evidence of racism, trump clearly knows exactly what he's saying and to whom, and as president he has consistently backed up his racist talk with policy. he's putting real racist policy on the table designed to excite racially anxious white americans and to terrify people who aren't white. so, yes, donald trump is really racist, fini. this weekend trump added to the ledger targeting four black and brown democratic congresswomen, representatives alexandria ocasio-cortez, ilhan omar, ayanna presley and rashida tlaib, to punish them for criticizing his hideous immigration policies, including locking central american men, women and children in crowded cages where they are told to drink water from the toilet. trump pulled the ultimate barbecue becky telling them they don't belong here. trump in a tweet storm told these four american congresswomen to go back to the countries from where they came from. all are born in america. one in the bronx, michigan, chicago, and o

it is just what donald trump thinks and donald trump thinks he's a fighter. >> let's play a little bit more of him. here is chris wallace taking him on this question of race. >> i have never called any of those tweets racist but there is no question that he's stoking racial devisionivisions. >> chris, the core element of the president's philosophy is america's first. same as america needs to improve to get closer to america's first ideal as the president did criticizing obama and our foreign policy deals or ill congratulati immigration policies. >> that statement. >> okay putting aside the lie at the end of that statement. they never said immigrant are not americans. the start of what he said was instru instructi instructive. he says the core of the president's squad is america's first. that's where the roots of it all. stephen miller is writing the policies for the trump administration who's under current that this is is a white nation. fewer brown people in it and they need to be deported of banned or no asylum seekers from africa. they need to be banned. that's white nationalism. pe

donald trump. and that's "hardball" for now. thanks for being with us. "all in" right now with joy reid sitting in for chris hayes. >>> tonight on "all in" -- >> so the first note that i want to tell children across this country is that no matter what the president says, this country belongs to you. >> four freshmen congresswomen respond to racist attacks from the president. >> it is time for us to stop allowing this president to make a mockery out of our constitution. >>> tonight, the political firestorm over donald trump's racist politics and policy. >> does it concern you that many people saw that tweet as racist and that white nationalist groups are finding common cause with you on that point? >> it doesn't concern me because many people agree with me. >>> and how democratic leadership is responding to the president's attacks. >> weak minds and leaders challenge loyalty to our country in order to avoid challenging and debating the policy. >>> then -- >> we all know that aoc and this crowd are a

and friend and champion of donald trump. you can see it, lindsey graham to me personifies what you're talking about in your book about what the republican party has had to do in terms of embracing him. >> it's almost like that was happening in an alternate universe, that we have traveled back in time. you know, lindsey graham, marco rubio called the president a conman, and unfit for office, and immoral, ted cruz called him, obviously we know their history, said that he was a pathological liar, rick perry, a cabinet member said that he was a cancer on conservatism. we could go up and down the list here. the fact of the matter is that in politics, self-preservation trumps everything else, no pun intended, and for most of these folks, they made a calculation pretty immediately, and when i say pretty immediately, i mean like around 2:30 in the morning on november 9th, 2016, that they had better get on the trump train or get off the tracks because it was going to run them over, and they have all pretty uniformly made the same dec

donald trump resents hollywood. when he got married the third time to melania, his current wife, a lot of political celebrities were there, but a lot of stars who none of them would probably admit to being there now, but his third wedding was a star-studded affair. it was the achievement of his ultimate dreams. donald trump both resents hollywood and craves them. he wants "the new york times" to love him. he wants to be getted in hollywood. he wants to be able to throw parties like barack obama used to do for the unveiling of a movie in the white house and have stars show up. he can't. and he's so angry. he can't do it. he thought, and i think in his mind if the black guy could get all of it, then so should i. and i think that he shares his basis resentment that the culture won't come to them, that the movies aren't about them, the culture won't cater to them. they want to be the center of attention again. and donald trump says, you know what, i will make you the center of attention. you're the center of my attentio

so i firmly believe knowing donald trump that if you said to donald trump, mr. trump in order to become putin, in order to stay in office forever, in order to loot this country you have to do "x," he's capable to doing wherever your mind can take you for "x." >> michael cohen said it. he is an autocrat. >> i want to start using the word fascist. >> yeah, he's a fascist. >> and many tendencies like adolph hitler. >> at minimum what donald trump has done at the most generous he's taken the republican party of the united states and turned him into the national party of south africa from 1948 until 1990 because that party was purely christian fascists. they made laws in which every black person or brown person would have to constantly show their identity to any police force who asked them. the donald trump has now turned i.c.e. into a national deportation force that can ask for the papers of any american, any immigrant, anybody brown that they see they want to ask, they must show their papers and even they're american they can detain and deport them. he's turned the

the key to understanding donald trump is donald trump cares about one thing -- donald trump. and by that measure he has been a success but by every other measure he has been a failure. the situation at the border is worse. donald trump has failed. the situation with north korea has not made any demonstrable progress. he has failed. when it comes to health care he's failed. when it comes to rising wages he has failed. so i think by every demonstrable measure, you are right that our job is yes to take it to donald trump to draw a contrast. this election will be both a referendum on donald trump and a choice between him and the person on the ballot that's representing the democratic party. but that's not sufficient. that in order to be successful in this election we have to do more than just be the anti-donald trump. we have to explain to the american people what we are for. and i don't think these two things are mutually exclusive. i want to see the democrats focus more on the economy, on health care, on wages and education than some of the topics that get most of the attention
