United states, those things have consequences. i think he does it now so often that were almost numb to it, which scares me, because i dont think we should normalize it in any way. he should be responsible for the hyp hyperbolic -- truthful hyperbole, thats what he wrote about in "art of the deal." >> scott, i am genuinely curious whether or not there have been a lot of republicans criticizing special counsel muellers investigation very directly right now, if any of them will see the presidents ...

Rigged. what he said in that interview was the media wont let me lose. six months before the election theyre going to start to say nice things because they need me. so, the world view he shared with us is a completely conspiratorial world view. and thats what i found most interesting about that comment. by the way the other thing he said that we just have to mention is that he is the worlds best cpa. apparently he understands taxes better than the best cpa in the country. so, what was amazing wa...

The couch here. democrats are really trying to make the tax law an issue heading into the 2018 mid-term elections saying it is a giveaway to corporations and to the rich. not good enough for middle class families. what is your response? >> its a big problem and a danger for them. you think of other mid-term elections where democrats suffered huge defeats in the house after bill clinton tried to do hillary care and after president obama did obamacare. so you had a reaction to a really unpopular l...

Apple. taking it off his real legislative accomplishments like tax reform. >> right. i mean the president has always had this tendency towards hyperbole. tends to exaggerate about his accomplishments or what hes done or going to do. i think its unnecessary twofold. first of all, if youre a true conservative, or even a populist, the last thing you want is more government, more laws. its sort of the thing that republicans and independents sort of rail against. theres no need to brag about accompli...

Points passing sweeping tax return. why not just stick to the truth? >> well, it would be great if he stuck to the truth, but hes always had this tendency -- not tendency -- its hyperbole all the time, lying, whatever you want to call it. exaggerating. the people that supported him long, right? they understood his personality, he they. they had other things they wanted to get done. they gave his flaws a pass for a number of reasons. it depends on which type of trump supporter it wasly. >> they s...

Dont understand, we have signed more legislation than anyone. we broke the record of harry truman. >> there is a problem with this claim. its simply not true. trump has signed fewer year in his first year than any president since eisenhower. joining us to discuss this and more is analyst and correspondent for the hilt, white house reporter for bloomberg news and shannon petty piece. he has things he can brag about. why did he pick something that is so easy to fact check and disprove? >> why does...

He has been doing that his entire life. he is sort of known for that. he bragged in his first book the use of hyperbole, as he put it. when hes off script he will say stuff that will create 10 more stories that obscure from what he has done in office. that is the challenge yet. not only will he face questions about the investigation going on but he will create more stories that will obscure from the bill he signed on taxes. thats why the staff want him to stay on the prompter and try to avoid mo...

Hyper bs hyperbole. so hes selling people a bill of goods. hes kind of the jim jones of 2000. >> okay, look. new york voters, especially in particular new york city voters, are different voters than even upstate and much more similar to midwest voters. he wrote the art of the deal or co-wrote it, and they saw someone who was excelling. >> he didnt write it. he was a ghost writer and he sat there and told it and the guys. >> i wrote mine.

I dont think its necessary for him to exaggerate thing. as matt said, he had things that he could be proud of, that he could talk about. specifically, the repeal of the regulation, which was really important to rust belt and midwest voters. but also in terms of the commemoration of naming bridges or buildings after people, those kinds of things are also important to those voters, because they felt that sometimes those types of things were neglected and people that should have gotten more praise ...
