Donald Trump's Twitter Feud Against Media Raises More Concerns | AM Joy

>>> THE FAKE MEDIA IS TRYING TO SILENCE US, BUT WE WILL NOT LET
THEM. BECAUSE THE PEOPLE KNOW THE
TRUTH. THE FAKE MEDIA TRIED TO STOP US
FROM GOING TO THE WHITE HOUSE, BUT I'M PRESIDENT AND THEY'RE
NOT. >> GOOD MORNING, AND WELCOME TO
"AM JOY." NOT EVEN AN EVENT TO HONOR
MILITARY VETERANS IS SAFE. HIS SPEECH AT THE KENNEDY CENTER
EVENT CAME THE SAME DAY TRUMP STEPPED UP HIS TWITTER FEUD WITH
THE CO-HOSTS OF "MORNING JOE," TWEETING, CRAZY JOE SCORE
BOROUGH AND DUMB AS A ROCK MIKA ARE NOT BAD PEOPLE BUT THEIR LOW
RATED SHOW IS DOMINATED BY THEIR MSNBC BOSSES.
TOO BAD. HIS TIRADE WHICH AGAIN THURSDAY
WITH UGLY PERSONAL ATTACKS AGAINST MIKA SEEMS TO BE YET
ANOTHER LOW FOR A PRESIDENT WHO CONSTANTLY SEEMS TO BE
REDEFINING ROCK BOTTOM. MIKA AND JOE SUMMED UP WHAT MANY
THOUGHT WHEN THEY WROTE IN AN OP-ED FOR "THE WASHINGTON POST"
UNDER THE HEADLINE DONALD TRUMP IS NOT WELL.
AND THEY MADE THIS OBSERVATION ON THEIR SHOW FRIDAY.
>> WE HAVE FRIENDS INSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE THAT HAVE TOLD US
OVER THE PAST MONTH THEY'RE GETTING MORE CONCERNED ABOUT HIS
EMOTIONAL STATE. THE GUY THAT'S IN THE WHITE
HOUSE NOW IS NOT THE GUY WE KNEW TWO YEARS AGO.
>> NOT EVEN CLOSE. >> NOW SOME DEMOCRATS ARE GOING
EVEN FURTHER. ACCORDING TO YAHOO! INVESTIGATE
AT THIS REPORTER MICHAEL ISIKOFF, 25 HOUSE DEMOCRATS WANT
TO DECLARE THE PRESIDENT INCAPACITATED AND UNDER THE 25th
AMENDMENT FORCE HIM OUT OF OFFICE.
WHY THE URGENCY NOW? HAS DONALD TRUMP SUDDENLY TAKEN
A TURN FOR THE WORSE OR IS HIS OFFENSIVE BEHAVIOR JUST MORE OF
THE SAME OLD TRUMP THAT WE'VE HEARD MANY, MANY TIMES BEFORE?
>> I'M AUTOMATICALLY ATTRACTED TO BEAUTIFUL WOMEN.
I JUST START KISSING THEM. IT'S LIKE A MAGNET.
AND WHEN YOU'RE A STAR, THEY LET YOU DO IT.
YOU CAN DO ANYTHING. >> WHATEVER YOU WANT.
>> GRAB THEM BY THE [MUTE]. >> WHEN MEXICO SENDS ITS PEOPLE,
THEY'RE NOT SENDING THEIR BEST. THEY'RE BRINGING DRUGS, THEY'RE
BRINGING CRIME. THEY'RE RAPISTS.
>> SHE GETS OUT AND STARTS ASKING ME ALL SORTS OF
RIDICULOUS QUESTIONS. AND YOU COULD SEE THERE WAS
BLOOD COMING OUT OF HER EYES, BLOOD COMING OUT OF HER --
WHEREVER. >> WRITTEN BY A NICE REPORTER.
NOW THE POOR GUY, YOU GOT TO SEE THIS GUY, AH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT
I SAID, AH, I DON'T REMEMBER. >> SO WE TALK ABOUT THE MEDIA
AND BY THE WAY, SOME OF THE MEDIA IS TERRIFIC, BUT MOST OF
IT, 75%, IS ABSOLUTELY DISHONEST, ABSOLUTE SCUM.
>> JOINING ME NOW IS FRANK RICH, WRITER AT LARGE FOR NEW YORK
MAGAZINE AND AUTHOR OF THE LATEST COVER STORY "HOW A
PRESIDENCY ENDS." THIS IS A GREAT PIECE BY THE
WAY, FRANK RICH. >> THANK YOU.
>> REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, GOOD.
I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD TAKE THE TIME OUT TO READ IT.
ONE OF THE THINGS IT DID, I WATCHED, I WAS TELLING YOU IN
THE BREAK, I JUST WATCHED "GET ME ROGER STONE."
WHEN YOU WATCH THAT AND READ THIS TOGETHER THEY SORT OF GIVE
YOU A COMPANION UNDERSTANDING OF THE ERA THAT WE'RE RERUNNING,
ALMOST LIKE WE'RE RERUNNING THE NIXON ERA.
THIS IS DONALD TRUMP'S TWEET THIS MORNING AGAINST CNN.
HERE IT IS. HE TWEETED, YOU SEE THAT?
THAT IS DONALD TRUMP WHEN HE WAS A CHARACTER ON TV PERFORMING ON
WWE. AND HE'S RETWEETED A GIF OF
HIMSELF DOING THAT, AND THE TWEET SIMPLY SAYS, FRAUD NEWS
CNN FNN WHICH MEANS FOX NEWS NETWORK.
WHAT IS THAT? >> IT'S INSANITY, IT REALLY IS.
OBVIOUSLY IT'S AN ATTEMPT THAT MIGHT BE SUCCESSFUL TO DRUM UP
VIOLENCE AGAINST JOURNALISTS WHICH IS SOMETHING HE'S BEEN
DOING RIGHT ALONG. AND BY THE WAY, THIS WHOLE THING
THAT HE'S A DIFFERENT PERSON THAN HE WAS TWO YEARS AGO, NO,
HE'S THE SAME PERSON. IT'S JUST NOW THAT'S TOXICALLY
COMBINED WITH POWER AND A 24/7 PLATFORM.
>> DONALD TRUMP HAS DEFENDED HIS SORT OF LACK OF DIGNITY ON
SOCIAL MEDIA. HE TWEETS RIDICULOUS THINGS ON
SOCIAL MEDIA THAT ANY OTHER PRESIDENT IF YOU PUT THAT IN A
STATEMENT PEOPLE WOULD THINK THE PERSON WAS LOSING THEIR MIND.
HE TWEETED, MY USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA IS N NOT PRESIDENTIAL, IT
MODERN DAY PRESIDENTIAL. HE GETS AWAY WITH IT.
>> HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT REALLY MODERN MEDIA IS AND
APPARENTLY DOESN'T REALLY KNOW HOW TO E-MAIL SO HE'S DISCOVERED
THIS ONE TOY THAT, AS BILL MAHER KEEPS POINTING OUT, HE PROBABLY
USES IN THE TOILET AND PLAYS IT FAIRLY WELL.
THAT'S HIS IDEA OF SOCIAL MEDIA AND SOMEONE WHO'S TOLD HIM THAT
LINE. STEVE BANNON OR SOMEONE.
BUT HERE'S THE THING. THIS GUY IS NOW GOING TO MEET
WITH VLADIMIR PUTIN, WHO IS EITHER AN AMERICAN ADVERSADVERS
HIS BOSS, BUT EITHER WAY, THIS IS A REALLY CRUCIAL MOMENT FOR
THIS COUNTRY. FORGET ABOUT EVEN WASHINGTON AND
HEALTH CARE AND ALL OF THAT, WE HAVE THIS GUY GOING TO TALK TO
PUTIN. >> THAT IS THE THING, DONALD
TRUMP IS TWO THINGS. HE'S SORT OF FUNNY, RIGHT, AND
YOU CAN SORT OF READ HIS TWEETS AS ENTERTAINING AND AMUSING AND
SORT OF WEIRD AND LAUGH AT IT BUT THERE'S ALSO KIND OF FUNNY
SCARY BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH THE PRESIDENCY DOESN'T WEIRD AS MUCH
POWER AS MOST AMERICANS THINK IT DOES BUT THERE'S A LOT OF DAMAGE
HE CAN DO. SHOULD AMERICANS BE LAUGHING AT
THESE TWEETS OR AFRAID? >> YOU SHOULDN'T LAUGH AT
VIOLENCE. IN THIS PRESSURE COOKER, IN THIS
VIOLENT AMERICA OF THE MOMENT AND THIS POLITICALLY ANGRY,
THAT'S NOT FUNNY. AND THE TRUTH IS, YOU'RE
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, HIS POWER IS LIMITED.
WITNESS THE FACT THAT HE'S GOTTEN NOTHING DONE IN
WASHINGTON, BUT IT ISN'T LIMITED ON THE FOREIGN STAGE AND IN
FOREIGN POLICY AND HE IS LEAVING OUR SHORES TO DO GOD KNOWS WHAT.
>> FORMER -- RICHARD CLARKE WHO IS THE FAMOUS HAIR ON FIRE GUY
WHO TRIED TO WARN GEORGE W. BUSH ABOUT 9/11 TO NO AVAIL WAS ON
BILL MAHER ON FRIDAY NIGHT AND THIS IS WHAT HE SAID ABOUT HIS
FEARS ABOUT DONALD TRUMP. >> THE PRESIDENT'S GOING TO MEET
WITH PUTIN NEXT WEEK. ADVISERS WILL NOT EVEN SAY THAT
HE'S GOING TO BRING THIS UP. >> NO, HE WON'T.
>> BECAUSE HE WAS THE BENEFICIARY.
>> OF COURSE. THAT'S WHY HE'S NOT
INVESTIGATING IT AND DOING ALL THE THINGS WE NEED TO DO TO MAKE
SURE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS IS THE 21stst CENTURY
EQUIVALENT OF HAVING MARINES LAND ON THE JERSEY SHORE.
THEY INVADED OUR COUNTRY, THEY INVADED OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM AND
THEY WON, AND HE DOESN'T CARE BECAUSE HE WON.
>> THE RAZOR EXPLANATION, PRESUMING DONALD TRUMP HAS THE
SAME LOVE OF COUNTRY THAT ANYONE ELSE WOULD IS THAT DONALD TRUMP
BENEFITTED FROM WHAT THE RUSSIANS DID BEFORE AND WOULDN'T
MIND BENEFITTING FROM IT AGAIN. IS THAT A FAIR ASSUMPTION?
>> WE HAVE TO WONDER THAT THIS COMMISSION THAT HE'S CREATED
WHICH I KNOW YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT LATER IS AN INSTRUMENT OF
THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT TO TRY TO AFFECT, FOR ALL WE KNOW, THE
2018 AND 2020 ELECTIONS. THIS MAY BE PART OF THE PROCESS.
FOR ALL WE KNOW, IF I MAY BE SLIGHTLY BOLD, THIS MIGHT BE
WHAT HE AND PUTIN ARE TALKING ABOUT, NOT THE PAST.
>> EVEN IF IT'S JUST ON HIS OWN, IF YOU LOOK AT THE COMBINATION
OF TRAITS THAT YOU SEE IN DONALD TRUMP, THIS WIN AT ALL COSTS
MENTALITY THAT DOESN'T MATTER HOW YOU WIN AS LONG AS YOU WIN,
YOU'RE WILLING TO ACCEPT RUSSIAN INTERVENTION IF IT HELPS YOU
WIN, IT FEELS LIKE YOU'RE WILLING TO SUPPRESS LOTS AND
LOTS OF VOTES, MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF VOTES AND VIOLATE
THE RIGHTS OF MILLIONS OF AMERICANS AS LONG AS YOU WIN.
ARE WE SETTING OURSELVES UP FOR A 2020 THAT COULD BE EVEN
SCARIER AND WATERGATE ON TRIPLE AMOUNTS OF STEROIDS IN 2016?
>> MAYBE BUT WE DON'T KNOW YET. THAT'S A LONG TIME AWAY AND MY
THEORY IS THAT TRUMP IS NOT GOING TO LAST THAT LONG.
>> THAT'S A POINT I WANT TO STOP YOU ON.
IN THIS PIECE WHICH I HIGHLY RECOMMEND, WATERGATE DIDN'T
BECOME WATERGATE OVERNIGHT. YOU WALK THE READERS THROUGH THE
TIMELINE ABOUT THE PUBLIC OPINION OF PEOPLE IN REGARDS TO
NIXON AND HOW LONG THEY HUNG ON. >> IN JULY OF 1973 WHICH IS NOW
13 MONTHS AFTER THE WATERGATE BREAK-IN, BY THAT POINT NIXON'S
ATTORNEY GENERAL AND CAMPAIGN MANAGER JOHN MITCHELL HAD BEEN
INDICTED. THERE HAD BEEN THE FAMOUS TWO
MONTHS OF LIVE TELEVISED WATERGATE SENATE HEARINGS LED BY
SAM IRVIN THAT MOST OF THE COUNTRY WATCHED, 71% OF THE
COUNTRY WATCHED. WOODWARD AND BURNSTEIN REPORTED
THAT THE WATERGATE BREAK-IN WAS JUST A TINY FRACTION OF AN
ENORMOUS CRIMINAL OPERATION BY THE WHITE HOUSE.
AS PEOPLE WENT AWAY THAT SUMMER, THIS TIME IN 1973, 22% OF THE
COUNTRY THOUGHT THAT NIXON SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE.
>> WOW. >> AND CONSTITUENTS WERE SAYING
THEY WERE TIRED OF WATERGATE. HIS APPROVAL RATING WAS IN THE
UPPER 30s, SORT OF WHERE TRUMP IS NOW.
>> NIXON EMPLOYED THE SAME TACTICS, GOING TO THE WELL OF
WHITE WORKING CLASS VOTERS, BUT ALSO HIS TAKE ON THE MEDIA, I
WANT TO PLAY A SOUND BITE FROM OCTOBER OF 1973, AT THE HEIGHT
OF WATERGATE. THIS IS RICHARD NIXON TALKING
ABOUT THE PRESS. >> I HAVE NEVER HEARD OR SEEN
SUCH OUTRAGEOUS, VICIOUS, DISTORTED REPORTING IN 27 YEARS
OF PUBLIC LIFE. I'M NOT BLAMING ANYBODY FOR
THAT. PERHAPS WHAT HAPPENED IS THAT
WHAT WE DID BROUGHT IT ABOUT, AND THEREFORE, THE MEDIA DECIDED
THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THAT ON.
>> AT LEAST HE DID IT WITH MORE STYLE.
>> THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING TOO.
>> BUT IT WAS EXACTLY THE SAME LINE.
THE MEDIA IS THE ENEMY. HE USED TO TELL HIS AIDES TO
WRITE THAT ON THE BLACK BOARD, THE MEDIA IS THE ENEMY.
THEY WERE TRYING TO STEAL AN ELECTION THAT HE HAD WON IN 1972
AND REVERSE THE THING. HE ALSO, EVERY TIME HE DENIED A
WATERGATE STORY, HE SAID THERE ARE FOUR OR FIVE INVESTIGATIONS
THAT PROVE I'M EXAGGERATED. >> EXONERATED.
FROM THAT POINT TO WHEN HE RESIGNED WAS ANOTHER 13 MONTHS.
WHAT MADE THE DIFFERENCE WHEN HE DID RESIGN, REPUBLICANS FINALLY,
NOT BRAVE REPUBLICAN LEADERS, THEY DIDN'T EXIST THEN ANY MORE
THAN NOW, BUT CONGRESSMEN SCARED FOR THEIR LIVES AS THE MIDTERMS
APPROACH. >> ALL ABOUT SELF-PRESERVATION.
BE PATIENT BECAUSE THEY'RE SORT OF SPINELESSNESS WILL TURN TO
OUTRIGHT TERROR WHEN THEY THINK IT WILL IMPAIR THEIR RIG
