Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline,” host Nicolle Wallace accused President Donald Trump of contributing to a “rough and tumble” politics more than anybody else.
Wallace said, “There’s this version of the president that emerges at moments when things are so bad, he has to suppress and override his circuitry which is usually to participate in the rough and tumble aspects of politics. This country has a long history of rough and tumble politics but Donald Trump I think is undeniably in a category of his own. What we saw today is someone who seemed to be saying some of the right things at a moment when he is sort of lording over a climate that he has contributed to more than anybody else in American politics.”
She added, “Let’s stay with the elephant in the room. There’s a dead, dismembered “Washington Post” columnist who died in the Saudi consulate in Turkey. There were seven pipe bombs sent to what basically amounts to an enemies list of Donald Trump. He’s not just chanted “Lock her up” about Hillary, he calls her corrupt. He ran a campaign to delegitimize Barack Obama with the birther movement. Eric Holder is these are some of the recipients of his most brutal political attacks.”
