Halperin on Trump’s ‘Thank You’ Tour: ‘This Is What the Next Four Years Are Going To Be Like’

SCARABOROUGH: “You know, Mark Halperin, I always talk about how presidents aren’t all created equally. Some are better at some things than others. Barack Obama on a big stage with a teleprompter delivering prepared remarks is just as good as anybody ever. George W. Bush was awful in certain things. like East Room press conferences but get him in an office one-on-one and he was as good as anybody that's ever been in a White House, dealing with people. This is actually the next president's strong suit. This is what he's absolutely best at. He absolutely loves it. And last night was an audience that was just custom-built for him.”

HALPERIN: “He feeds off of it. We need three copies of that. One for the Smithsonian, one for the time capsule and one for everyone who ever wants to run for president again. He's doing what he likes. People who do not like him, and that was the majority of the country, will look at that speech last night and say it was ungracious and egotistical etc. This is what the next four years are going to be like.”
