>> jack, remember all the weeks there was going to be infrastructure week, and every time the president would start off the week going off on some other tangent and totally avoiding what was supposed to be the message of the white house which probably would have generated coverage. >> he doesnt care. he has no impulse control. >> i agree with part of jacks overall point. i think in general -- and i think jacks right, its as consumers were driving this. we dont support enough, i would argue, news...

Muslim videos and he never apologized for that, every day. >> its still very true we have -- >> you remember all those weeks where there was infrastructure week and every time the president would start the week, go off on some other tangent and avoid what was supposed to be the message. >> because he doesnt care. he has no impulse control. >> i think jacks right, its as consumers who are driving this. we dont support enough news that really informs us. >> i totally agree with that. >> the tax bi...

Which, of course, would violate all the guidance in the bar in this. this is a very serious charge against an officer of the court. id caution everybody against it. but also i can tell you as someone who worked for donald trump that people draft tweets for the president quite often. they can come from outside the white house. and it happens, you know, dan scavino in charge of social media takes care of that most of the day. there are times where the president is tweeting on his own, but there ar...

Make any sense. >> ashley parker, you have any reporting on what set this off at this early hour? >> not particularly. but i can tell you often, what sets him off is something he has watched on tv. so something hes seen on "morning joe" or "f "fox & friends." there was a thought he used twitter as misdirection when he doesnt want to deal with roy moore accusers because it may remind people of his own accusers. i believe largely this is a president who cannot help himself and tweets what he is th...
