Jim Himes: Serious People Trying to Unpack the Meaning of a Donald Trump Tweet Is a Demeaning Exercise

‘The problem with the tweets he is sending out and all of the nonsense, stuff most perhaps consistent with the behavior after 5-year-old is that it hurts his party here in Congress’

RUSH EXCERPT:

HIMES: "Wolf, I think it is time for us to blow the whistle and say that serious people trying to unpack the meaning after Donald Trump tweet is a demeaning exercise. No, I think that you know, when he gets alone with his device, he sends out things like accusations that the former president was surveilling him. Look, a couple of things are happening here. One, the president is discovering that we don't have a system where he gets everything that he wants. That we have a tough brutal sometimes ugly political system with fragmented power that results occasionally in success but looks like what we got on the budget where everybody gets a little bit of what they want and everybody says they got everything they want but the president never gets everything that he wants. And the problem with the tweets he is sending out and all of the nonsense, stuff most perhaps you know consistent with the behavior after 5-year-old is that it hurts his party here in Congress."
