Matthews: ‘100% of the People Around Donald Trump Don’t See Him as Fit To Hold the Office’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
MATTHEWS: “Trumpwatch.” Tuesday, January 9th, 2018. It reminds me of “Twilight zone.” Michael Wolff’s description of life in the trump White House. Grownups scared to death of this little boy they see possessed with enormous powers. Remember the episode of “Twilight zone” when the kid is so frightening and emotionally undeveloped all those around this kid are afraid what was he’ll do next. Now we’re talking not about science fiction, but about the nonfiction of the west and the oel office, a child-like Donald Trump holds sway. This according to the hottest book in the country. It is this that must disturb you. That 100% of the people around Donald Trump don’t see him as fit to hold the office. 100% who say danger, who see danger in this man. They come to work each morning to protect us from. Speaking of which, what do you make of an American president who spends such a large chunk of his day hiding alone in his room? Who comes to work an hour before noon, only to head back upstairs well before most of the people that work for him are even known their Denner time? This is a little odd for a president, don’t you think? We can all see is engaged in a spat right now with north Korea’s Kim Jong-un, who mocks him as rocket man and brags about having a bigger nuclear button than him. But of course of graver concern than his lack of restraint and of graver concern of lack of the people around him who might restrain him is the feeling by a rabbit --You’re a rabbit guy. Coolness under pressure, a recognition of the need to reckon the consequences what was he does or decides he wants done. This is a very unsettling account of life within the confines of today’s White House. And that’s “Hardball” for now. Thank you for being with us, “All in with Chris Hayes” starts right now."
