Trump PISSED Congress Won't Let Him Lift Russia Sanctions

WE TURN TO RUSSIA, WHERE IT IS COLD.
THE ONLY THING COLDER IS
OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH RUSSIA, MANY WERE AFRAID IT WOULD GET
WARMER WITH TRUMP AT THE HELM, BUT THE HOUSE AND SENATE HAVE
PASSED A SANCTIONS PACKAGE BY OVERWHELMING MAJORITY STOPPING
THE SENATE PASSED IT 98-2, THE HOUSE PASSED IT 419-3,
SANCTIONED PACKAGE THAT INCLUDED SANCTIONS AGAINST, AMONGST
OTHERS, RUSSIA.
THERE HAS BEEN RETALIATION ALREADY FROM THE
RUSSIAN FOREIGN MINISTRY --
WOW.
THAT WILL SHOW US.
THERE GOES OUR RECREATIONAL RETREAT.
WE DID THE SAME THING TO THEM, REALLY.
THEY WILL TURN INTO AN AIRBNB.
THIS, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, IS THE MOST IMPORTANT NEWS OF THE
DAY.
EVEN WITH OBAMACARE BEING SAVED BY MCCAIN, WITH REINCE
PRIEBUS BEING FIRED, HOW COULD THIS BE MORE IMPORTANT?
THIS IS
THE THING THAT TRUMP NEEDED TO DELIVER TO PUTIN, THIS IS HIS
END OF THE BARGAIN.
THE WHOLE POINT OF PUTIN MEDDLING WITH
OUR ELECTIONS IS BECAUSE THE SANCTIONS WERE KILLING HIM.
IT'S
THE OLIGARCHS MAKING MONEY OFF OF THIS THAT ARE PUTIN'S CRONIES
THAT ARE MAKING MONEY OFF THIS.
THE SANCTIONS FROZE THEIR BANK
ACCOUNTS.
NOT EVERYWHERE, THEY HAVE PLENTY OF MONEY, BUT IT
FROZE THEM HERE IN SOME INSTANCES.
AND IT STOPPED A $500
BILLION DEAL THAT THE RUSSIANS HAD WITH EXXON MOBIL, SO THERE
WAS ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD ON THESE SANCTIONS.
THAT'S WHY
TRUMP WAS SAYING ALL ALONG, WE HAVE TO IMPROVE OUR RELATIONSHIP
WITH RUSSIA.
WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THE SANCTIONS AND SEE HOW WE
COULD IMPROVE IT. AND AS THEY WERE PROPOSING THIS ON THE HOUSE
AND SENATE, TRUMP SENT HIS GUYS TO GO, DON'T DO IT!
HE TRIED TO
WEAKEN THE BILL AND GET RID OF IT, AND HE WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL.
AND WHEN IT LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE ABOUT TO PASS IT,
SCARAMUCCI SAYS YESTERDAY, THAT'S THE PRESIDENT
MIGHT HAVE TO VETO IT.
YOU WILL VETO A BILL THAT PASSED 419-3 IN
THE HOUSE?
HE IS LIKE, HE WANTS SANCTIONS TO BE STRONGER.
NEGOTIATE AN EVEN TOUGHER DEAL AGAINST THE RUSSIANS.
THEY ARE LIKE, WHY WERE YOU LOBBYING FOR ALL THESE WEEKS AND
MONTHS TO MAKE IT WEAKER?
IT MAKES NO SENSE.
IF TRUMP CAN'T
DELIVER ON HIS END OF THE BARGAIN, WHAT DOES PUTIN DO
NEXT?
TRUMP HAS A COUPLE OF OPTIONS.
ONE, NORMALLY NO
PRESIDENT WOULD HAVE ANY OPTIONS, IF YOU VETO IT YOU LOOK
LIKE AN ASS, YOU ARE TRYING TO SAY I DON'T CARE HOW POPULAR OR
RIGHT IT IS OR THAT MY OWN INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES ARE SAYING
THERE'S NO DISSENT AT ALL, THE RUSSIANS DEFINITELY MEDDLED IN
OUR ELECTIONS, I'M GOING TO DO PUTIN A FAVOR ANYWAY, AND IT
WILL BE TEMPORARY BECAUSE THEY WILL OVERRIDE MY VETO, BUT I GOT
TO SHOW MY LOYALTY TO PUTIN -- THAT SHOWS US WHAT THE DEAL WAS,
AND IT'S OBVIOUS THAT YOU ARE ON THE SIDE OF THE RUSSIANS AND
THEIR MEDDLING.
IF HE DOES THAT, HE'S DAMNED BECAUSE WE KNOW WHAT
HE'S UP TO.
ON THE OTHER HAND IF HE DOESN'T VETO IT, WHICH IS AT
LEAST A SHOW OF RESPECT AND LOYALTY TO PUTIN, IF HE DOESN'T
VETO IT HE HASN'T SHOWN THAT LOYALTY TO PUTIN, GOD KNOWS WHAT
ELSE PUTIN RELEASES NEXT.
PEE TAPE!
PEE TAPE ASIDE --
DID YOU EDIT ONE OF THOSE TOGETHER, JAYAR?
I GOT IT -- TRUMP, R. KELLY.
PUT TOGETHER A MIX TAPE.
BUT DO
YOU KNOW HOW THAT STORY BROKE ABOUT HOW DONALD TRUMP, JR.
HAD
A MEETING WITH THE RUSSIAN LAWYER, THERE WERE THESE EMAILS
CLEARLY SAYING THIS IS THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT TRYING TO
HELP YOUR FATHER -- AND I SAID AT THE TIME, THAT LOOKS LIKE A
SET UP.
THEY GAVE HIM NO USEFUL INFORMATION BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN
THEY HAD DON, JR., JARED KUSHNER, AND PAUL MANAFORT, HIS
CAMPAIGN CHIEF, ON THE HOOK FOR MEETING WITH RUSSIAN OFFICIALS.
AND REMEMBER, TRUMP MEETS WITH PUTIN, PUTIN ASKS FOR THINGS IN
TWO DIFFERENT MEETINGS, APPARENTLY DIDN'T GET THEM
BECAUSE TRUMP DOESN'T HAVE THE POWER TO GIVE IT TO HIM, AND
AFTER THAT MEETING, BOOM, ALL OF A SUDDEN WE FIND OUT THERE'S A
LEAK OF THE EMAILS OF DONALD TRUMP, JR. AND THOSE GUYS
MEETING WITH THE RUSSIANS.
THIS IS SCARY SHIT.
YOU DRAWING THESE CONNECTIONS, YOU
ARE GOING A LITTLE MADDOW ON ME BUT I LOVE IT -- IT IS SCARY.
WHAT IS PUTIN'S RESPONSE GOING TO BE, WHAT DOES HE HAVE ON YOU?
WE WILL SEE IF I'M RIGHT OR WRONG.
TRUMP -- YOU CAN'T VETO
THIS BILL.
CORKER, HE'S A DEEPLY REPUBLICAN SENATOR FROM
TENNESSEE, HE SAID I CANNOT IMAGINE ANYBODY IS SERIOUSLY
THINKING ABOUT VETOING THIS BILL.
IT'S NOT GOOD FOR ANY
PRESIDENT, AND MOST GOVERNORS DON'T LIKE TO VETO THINGS THAT
WILL BE OVERRIDDEN, IT SHOWS THE DIMINISHING OF THEIR AUTHORITY.
IN OTHER WORDS, WHAT ARE YOU, MENTAL?
IN THE SENATE IT WAS
98-2.
WE CAN OVERRIDE YOUR VETO, WE NEED TWO THIRDS, IT WOULD
NORMALLY BE DIFFICULT BUT IN THIS CASE IT'S SIMPLE.
YOU WOULD
BE PUNCHING YOURSELF IN THE FACE FOR NO REASON AT ALL -- UNLESS
THERE WAS A REASON.
I DON'T KNOW WHICH WAY HE WILL GO, BUT LET'S
SAY HE DOESN'T VETO IT BECAUSE IT'S POINTLESS, HIS ADVISERS SAY
WHAT THE HELL WOULD IT PROVE?
IF WE WERE GOING TO LOOK GUILTY AND
IT WORKED AND THEY COULDN'T OVERRIDE YOUR VETO LET'S DO IT,
BUT IT WON'T WORK SO WHY BOTHER LOOKING GUILTY?
I THINK THE TRUMP TACTIC HAS BEEN TO SPEAK TO THIS SILENT
MAJORITY AND APPARENTLY THEIR BASE THAT IS TWIDDLING, BUT YOU
OVERRIDE CONGRESS, YOU VETO IT AND SAY CONGRESS IS AGAINST THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE, I'M WITH THEM, I HAVE THEIR BACKS, TRUST ME,
THIS WILL LEAD TO BETTER DEALS, RUSSIA IS OUR FRIEND -- THAT'S
THE ONLY STRATEGIC --
HE WOULD HAVE TO SAY RUSSIA IS OUR ETHNIC FRIEND.
THAT'S THE
ONLY WAY IT COULD BE MORE OF A DOG WHISTLE TO THESE PEOPLE.
AND
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO THIS RUSSIA ARGUMENT RESONATES WITH.
HE WANTS TO DO ALL THIS POPULIST STUFF OVER HERE, AND THEN BEHIND
CLOSED DOORS APPEAL TO RUSSIA.
I THINK BY AND LARGE THESE PEOPLE
WHO ARE THE POPULIST SUPPORTERS OF HIM WHO TAKE ALL THE RACE
BAIT, THEY DON'T GRAVITATE TOWARDS DEALS WITH OLIGARCHS.
I DON'T THINK IS POPULIST SUPPORTERS OF THE ONES WHO TAKE
THE RACE BAIT.
I'M TALKING ABOUT THE ALT-RIGHT FOLKS WHO ARE
PROTESTING CONFEDERATE STATUES COMING DOWN, WHO WERE LITERALLY,
WITH TIKI TORCHES, SAYING RUSSIA IS OUR FRIEND.
THAT IS A SCARY
CHANT.
I COULD SEE HIM DOING IT ALSO BECAUSE ONCE YOU HAVE THE
VETO BUTTON YOU ARE LIKE, THAT BUTTON IS GOOD.
DON'T GET ME WRONG -- SANCTIONS ARE NOT BY THEMSELVES
NECESSARILY A GOOD THING, THERE ARE DIFFERENT OPINIONS ABOUT
THEM -- THERE ARE NORTH KOREAN AND IRANIAN SANCTIONS AGAIN
HERE, AND SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE AGAINST BEING INTERVENTIONIST
LIKE RAND PAUL AND BERNIE SANDERS, THEY WERE THE TWO VOTES
AGAINST IT -- BUT TRUMP ISN'T GOING TO HAVE A PRINCIPLED
POSITION, LIKE I THINK I AGREE WITH BERNIE SANDERS ON THIS --
HE WILL SAY THAT EVEN BERNIE SANDERS IS AGAINST THIS.
FINALLY, IF I'M RIGHT AND HE IS FORCED TO VETO IT, THEN IF AT
THAT POINT RUSSIA COULD RELEASE MORE COMPROMISING THINGS.
I'M
GIVING YOU THAT AS A MARKER AHEAD OF TIME.
IF THAT CHAIN OF
EVENTS HAPPENS, AND HE VETOES IT, AND THE NEXT WEEK THERE IS
NEW STUFF THAT'S LEAKED THAT IS DAMAGING TO THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION, YOU WILL KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
NOW WE'VE GOT THE MOOCH, HE WILL FIRE THEM.
YOU'RE ALL
FIRED.
MOOCH, GOOD LUCK FIRING VLADIMIR PUTIN.
