when this controversy erupts, one of the first things i think you would do is say, let's get the president on camera. let's show he's doing just fine. and donald trump inviting in the cameras is something they do all the time, but not since he's gone to the hospital. >> yeah, it's his favorite thing in the world. him being on tv is what he loves more than breathing. so the easiest thing would be to trot him out at the white house and do a quick photo op. anything would be easy. and why didn't they do that? and, you know, when you start having unnamed doctors start to cover something up, you start to wonder what's going on in the white house again. >> jim messina, thank you very much for joining us with your expert opinion on this and other matters. we appreciate it. when we come back, donald trump could be facing punishment for apparently lying to special prosecutor robert mueller. that may become an article of impeachment. f impeachment.
