CNN’s Baldwin on Trump’s ‘Horseface’ Tweet: ‘Calculated Move’ to Distract from Saudis

EXCERPT:

BALDWIN: "Today as the President faces what one adviser calls the most consequential decision of his presidency, during his hours and hours and hours of executive time, the President of the United States decided to refer to a woman as a horseface. And while that gets all the attention and rightfully so, I want you to keep this in mind, he also essentially threatened her and declared he’d be going after her. Again, as the President of the United States. CNN reports one White House official isn’t sure if he’s trying to distract from the Saudi Arabia coverage, but the official says, hey, it’s something he’s good at doing. Translation, why yes, this appears to be a calculated move to get us talking about something else. But the truth is, the pressure is mounting, a journalist is feared murdered and this President still faces a decision on how to respond as questions grow over his own ties to the Saudis. That is the reality."
