Things because driven by emotion and fear and seems to be if you look at his performance in two nights ago in front of the national security staff and the generals where he seemed rattled by the raid on michael cohens office. et he seemed afraid of what was going to happen in the investigation. the reports are that hes considering lashing out. if you see his tweets, these are not the actions of a stable person. when you consider hes the person who controls the ability to launch missile strikes t...

At the white house and it was recorded, she apparently forgot that she was on the record and she started lashing into reince priebus, into jared and ivanka. making these obviously untrue statements about reince, saying that jared and ivanka are leakers. in addition i interviewed aides who said they had seen text messages that shes sent to reporters in which she leaks. so its something that you know gets around. but i dont think trump knows about it. >> joining me now, chris whipple, author of "t...
