John berman has the day off. A major meeting for President Trump in just moments. Hes sitting down with south koreas new president as fears escalate over a nuclear north korea, but a cloud of controversy hanging over the white house at the moment.

What were trying to do is improve the tone and civility of the debate. Im appalled. This is the president of the United States. You dont do things like that. You dont attack women. Were half of of his con sti constituency. Every woman that looked at this thought why is he doing this. All i can say is what i said. Its inappropriate and wrong. The president s tweet was ...

Legal issues pertain to National Security. Ben runs a wellregarded blog called lawfare, which i think is kind of a page 1 on war fare. . On may 16th, ben wittes did this online, on twitter. Which is a weird thing. Nobody knew what was wrong with him. Nobody knew what this was about. You can see the time stamp there, he sent it at 3 18 p. M. On may 16th. Hey, ben wittes, whats that about . Well, then later, boom. Literally the word boom. Two hours and eight minutes after that initial tweet, we no...

Rated and bad. That wasnt the only newsworthy tweet and the new direction on the health care fight with the number of conservatives who want to focus first on just repealing obamacare and then dealing with the question of how to go about replacing it, notably, that approach contradicts what the president said in the past. Hes urged Previous Congress to simultaneously repeal and replace the health care plan. More on that reversal coming up. We begin though with the president s big twitter fight. ...

And apparently watching msnbc. The president threw his support behind a plan to immediately repeal obamacare. Its dead. Its essentially dead. And then replace it at a later undetermined date. This option of repealing without replacing is dead on arrival. By kicking them off their health care at this point, thats cruel, sir. We made a promise to repeal obamacare, and we should keep our promises. The president hasnt changed his thinking at all. This will be great if we get it done. But were, you k...

Today the president meets with the south korean counterpart. Tax reform is still on deck. Theres so much else we could be talking about right now, but, instead, the focus remains on the president s comments yesterday. What is the white house saying . Right, peter, this is another example of the president stepping on his own agenda and the white house is...

I hope you enjoy your weekend in general. But just keep in mind this is one of those times. Just sort of keep eyes open. All politicians, all public figures to a certain extent have to manage the art of diverting peoples attention at times, changing the subject, creating deliberate distractions. And, you know, some politicians are better at it than others. But all good politicians have to be able to do it to a certain degree. Our current president is very, very, very good at it. He doesnt just h...

Brzezinski. Today, brzezinski and cohost wrote donald trump is not well. Our concerns go beyond the personal. Americas leaders and allies are questioning whether this man is fit to be president.
