.MaddowBlog: Pres. Trump flubs question on how to bring Americans together (again).
On the 75th anniversary of D-Day, Donald Trump sat down with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham in Normandy, with the graves of war heroes serving as a backdrop. The two covered a fair amount of ground, though I was especially interested in the president’s response when the far-right host asked, “What could you do to unite the country at a time of great polarization?” “So, I think success should unite the country.
“What they’re doing is they’re hurting the deal. They should be saying, ‘We’re with the president, we’ll do whatever he wants to do,’ and Mexico would fold like an umbrella. Now, I have these people and I’m saying there’s some Republicans too, I think they should be ashamed of themselves. Remember, the question was, “What could you do to unite the country at a time of great polarization?” The president responded by lashing out at his perceived political enemies and suggesting that the key to harmony is having everyone agree to “do whatever” Trump wants.
Two months later, in September 2018, Trump spoke to a television station in Montana and was asked about how best to bridge the divide among Americans. The president responded that Democrats are “making fools out of themselves” by opposing him.
