Jimes Himes: Trump Doesn’t Understand the Gov’t Doesn’t Serve Him Like Some Medieval King

‘It’s a deeply concerning thing’

EXCERPT:

HIMES: “Well it's been said already on the show. I mean, this is a president who doesn’t understand that the government, that foreign countries, that everybody doesn’t exist to serve him like some kind of medieval king. And you know, it’s a deeply concerning thing. You know, I think I heard the phrase banana republic. This is the kind of thing we used to criticize other countries for doing. And you know, Alisyn, the ultimate irony here is -- and we forget this, the president is outraged at Jim Comey because Jim Comey did not promise to be loyal to him, again like some kind of medieval king. But remember there’s a strong argument to be made that Jim Comey’s decisions, his decisions to go public with the Hillary Clinton investigation, but not to go public with the Donald Trump investigation quite possibly made Donald Trump president of the United States. So this is just one of those things where your head just can’t spin fast enough?”
