In Speech, Donald Trump Offers 'Sign Of Hope' To Critics | Morning Joe

AND IRAN, NONE OF WHICH RUSSIA WILL EVER DO.
>> DAVID IGNACIOUS, FOR THOSE OF US LOOKING FOR HINTS ON THE SIDE
LINE OF THE G20 SUMMIT MAY GO BETWEEN PRESIDENT TRUMP AND VLAD
VLAD. WE GOT ONE LINE, WE URGE RUSSIA
TO STOP DESTABILIZING ACTIVITIES IN UKRAINE AND ELSEWHERE.
WHAT'S THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THAT AHEAD OF THAT MEET SOMETHING.
>> I THINK THAT'S JUST A LITTLE WARNING, WILLIE, THAT THE U.S.
IS GOING TO SEEK TO NEGOTIATE FULFILLMENT OF AGREEMENT THAT
MAKE SYRIA AND UKRAINE MORE STABLE.
I THOUGHT THE MOST INTERESTING THING AT THE END OF THE SPEECH
WAS THE STRONG AFFIRMATION OF TRADITIONAL ALLIANCES.
YOU REFERRED SEVERAL TIMES TO THE COMMUNITY OF NATIONS IN
EUROPE AND THE VALUES THAT THEY SHARE.
HE EVEN TALKED ABOUT FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND FREEDOM OF
EXPRESSION. NOT HIS FAVORITE THEME IN RECENT
WEEKS IN THE U.S. BUT I THOUGHT IN TERMS OF
RE-AFFIRMING THE TRADITIONAL ROLE AND LANGUAGE OF U.S.
LEADERSHIP, THERE WAS MORE AT THE END OF THE SPEECH TAN I'VE
SEEN IN HIS PREVIOUS TRIPS ABROAD I THINK FOR PEOPLE WHO
ARE LOOKING FOR SOME REASSURANCE THAT THE U.S. WANTS TO PLAY THAT
LEADERSHIP ROLE, THERE IS A LITTLE MEAT ON THE BONES IN THAT
SPEECH. >> THERE IS AND WE ARE OBVIOUSLY
FOCUSING ON DONALD TRUMP'S
MEETING WITH VLADIMIR PUTIN TOMORROW, EQUALLY IMPORTANT AT
LEAST IN MY MIND IS HIS MEETING WITH ANGELA AMERICA EM AND EM
GETTING THE RELATIONSHIP WITH WHAT IS THE UNITED STATES MOST
IMPORTANT ALLIE AT THIS POINT IN EUROPE, MARKAL PERSON, ANGELA
AMERICA EM-- -- OWE MARK HALPERIN, HANG LA MURKEL HAS
ENOUGH TO BE HEARTENED BY, LET'S SAY RELIEVED CONSIDERING HIS
PAST PERFORMANCE, WE CAN TALK ABOUT ARTICLE 5, THE MISSILE
SHIELD THAT OBVIOUSLY VLADIMIR PUTIN IS GOING TO SEE IN AN
ANTAGONISTIC WAY. SOMETHING AGAIN THAT WAS IN THE
WORKS. BUT STILL SOMETHING HE ANNOUNCED
ON STAGE IN POLAND AND UNDERLINING WHAT DAVID SAID,
AGAIN, DESPITE HOW TEDIOUS THE SPEECH WAS THROUGH MOST OF IT.
THE END, AT LEAST, IF NOT IN STYLE IN CONTENT COULD HAVE BEEN
RONALD REAGAN IN 1984 TALKING ABOUT UPHOLDING WESTERN
CIVILIZATION AND AGAIN, QUITE REMARKABLY TALKING ABOUT THE
FREEDOM OF THE PRESS AND THE VERY THINGS THAT HE HAS BEEN
CRITICIZED THE VERY VALUES HE HAS BEEN CRITICIZED FOR
TRAMPLING AT HOME, HE ACTUALLY CHAMPIONS IN POLAND AND LET US
HOPE IT SENDS A POSITIVE MESSAGE TO OUR ALLIES BECAUSE WE ARE NOW
HEARING IT FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND NOT JAMES
MATTIS. >> THERE ARE ALL THESE SPECIFIC
THINGS, TRADE, RUSSIA AND NATO, IF YOU WANT TO BE OPTIMISTIC IS
A THING OF VALUE. DONALD TRUMP WAS A DEMOCRAT AND
A NANCY PELOSI SUPPORTER AND BECOMES THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE
WHO HAS NO HISTORY ON THE WORLD STAGE.
I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE AT HOME AND ABROAD HAVE QUESTIONS, WHAT
HIS VALUES, WHAT DOES HE BELIEVE IN?
WHY DOES HE WANT TO BE PRESIDENT ON THE GLOBAL STAGE?
THIS SPEECH COULD HAVE BEEN REAGAN, OBAMA OR CLINTON IN
EXPRESSING THE VALUES A LOT OF AMERICAN ALLIES WOULD LIKE TO
SEE, UNDER GIRD, WHATEVER POLICIES HE'S PURSUED.
>> WE HAVE BEEN HEARING MIKA THE UNITED STATES STANDS WITH THEIR
ALLIES, STANDS FIRMLY BEHIND ARTICLE 5.
THE UNITED STATES STANDS FOR THE VALUES, WE HAVE BEEN HEARING IT
FROM JAMES MATTIS. WE HAVE BEEN HEARING IT FROM REX
TILLERSON. WE HAVE BEEN HEARING FROM
GENERAL McMASTER. WE HAVE BEEN HEARING IT FROM
EVERYBODY BUT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND AGAIN FOR
AMERICAN AUDIENCES, IT MAY NOT MEAN MUCH THAT THIS SPEECH WAS
IN POLAND BUT POLAND HAS BEEN SEEN BY RUSSIA AS A THORN IN ITS
TAME FOR SOMETIME. THERE CAN BE ONLY SIGNIFICANCE
READ INTO THIS OF COURSE IT CAN CHANGE IN THE NEXT 15 MINUTES.
>> PUT IT, FOR DONALD TRUMP, MAYBE THIS CAN BE SEEN AS A SIGN
OF HOPE. THIS WAS A SCRIPTED SPEECH,
STEVE KORNACKI, BUT THE HOPE THAT YOU COULD HAVE AT THIS
POINT IS THAT HE GETS GOOD FEEDBACK FOR IT AND CONTINUES TO
STICK TO THIS TRIP. WE HAVEN'T SEEN THAT IN THE PAST
T. WORRY IS WHEN HE GETS OFF SCRIPT WHAT HAPPENS, BUT
CERTAINLY DURING THIS SPEECH THERE WERE SOME LINES DRAWN THAT
SEEMS SUBSTANTIVE. >> I THINK THAT'S RIGHT.
I THINK IN THE CONTENT THIS IS DIFFERENT SPEECH WE SEEN AND
HERD HIM DELIVER BEFORE. THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO INTERPRET.
THE OTHER WITH DONALD TRUMP, YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER HERE, WHO IS
THE AUDIENCE, HOW DID HE BEGIN THIS SPEECH?
IT WAS NOTABLE BY CITING THE POLITICAL SPEECH FROM POLISH
AMERICANS SAYING HOW HONORED HE WAS BY THAT YOU THINK THE
MESSAGE FROM MURKEL, HE WANTED TO GO THERE AROUND DELIVER A
DEFIANT MESSAGE TO HER. MAYBE HE FELT THE POLISH
GOVERNMENT HAVING BEEN BEHIND THE SCENES HAS BEEN KIND TO HIM
MURKEL AND OTHER GOVERNMENTS HAVE BEEN, THIS MIGHT BE THE
DONALD TRUMP SAYING SOME THINGS HE WANTED TO LE CIPRO INDICATE
WITH KINDNESS. WE'LL SEE.
IF HE DELIVERS THE MESSAGE IN A DIFFERENT CONTEXT.
I THINK THAT'S THE KEY. >> ONE OF THE MORE TROUBLING
THINGS, REALLY IN HIS LAST TRIP TO EUROPE, WHEN THE ARTICLE 5
LANGUAGE WAS WRITTEN IN, HE STRIPPED OUT AT THE LAST MINUTE.
HE IGNORED JAMES MATTIS AND THE SECRETARY OF STATE.
HE IGNORED HIS NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER AND STRIPPED IT OUT.
I THINK IT'S QUITE SIGNIFICANT. MOST OF THESE SPEECHES ARE
OBVIOUSLY WRITTEN OUT, ARE DRAFTED BY THE STAFF AND IT
DOESN'T APPEAR ANYTHING SIGNIFICANT WAS STRIPPED OUT.
I WILL, YOU KNOW, I WILL TAKE A PREPARED SPEECH LIKE THIS THAT
UNDERLINES THE IMPORTANCE OF ARTICLE 5 THAT TALKS ABOUT A
MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEM THAT RUSSIA DESPISES, THAT IT LOATHE,
THAT IT'S ALWAYS LOATHED SINCE FIRST PROPOSED BY GEORGE W.
BUSH. I WILL TAKE THAT OVER SOME
RANDOM TWEETS ANY DAY OF THE WEEK.
>> THE NATIONAL SECURITY TEAM WAS CLEAR AND VOCAL ABOUT HAVING
THEIR LANGUAGE STRIPPED OUT OF THAT SPEECH AT NATO LAST MONTH.
THEY DIDN'T LIKE IT. OBVIOUSLY, THEY SAID IT'S A
TRADITION TO CONFIRM ARTICLE 5. THE WHITE HOUSE SAID THE VERY
PRESENCE AT NATO AFFIRMED OUR SUPPORT OF ARTICLE 5.
IT WAS CLEAR, YOU HAVE TO SAY IT STANDING OUT
