Trump speech moment that had his inner circle 'gnashing their teeth' singled out on MS NOW

“I’m not just saying this because I don’t like you, I’m saying this because I’m telling you what’s happening to you right now. First of all, everybody is stabbing you in the back; you can trust no one.”

Carville pointed to the recent leaks from the Pentagon that revealed some of Trump’s options on striking Iran, and comments from his own White House chief of staff, Susie Wiles, who said Trump “has an alcoholic’s personality” as some examples of his own administration disliking him. He said members of Congress – even Republicans – “can’t stand you” and that “they hate you.”

Carville also pointed to Trump’s record-low favorability among Americans, with his popularity on Tuesday at its lowest level since retaking office.

“You are the most unpopular president at this point in your term that we’ve ever had,” Carville said. “They don’t like you – you understand that? They don’t like the way you smell, they don’t like the way you look, they don’t like your fat stomach, they don’t like your stupid comb-over… they just don’t like you!”

And, while Trump may not be on the ballot in the upcoming midterm elections, Carville put the president on notice that his unpopularity would drag down his entire party come November.

“You know how miserable you’re gonna be in November, You know how f------ miserable you are when tens of millions of American people get a chance to tell you exactly what they think of you?” Carville said.

“Oh, and they gonna do it! And there’s no silent people out there for you – the only thing you’ve got is a silent-but-deadly fart, that’s about all you’re good for.”

"I think that the question here for the Republicans in the audience is what the president gave them to run on this year, in this midterm year," Dovere said. "It was a speech that was very much about him and his accomplishments and what he's done, and when you have Democrats who are both attacking what he's done and trying to say that the Republicans in Congress are just a rubber stamp on him, they are still looking for what that agenda would be, to say this is what we're going to keep doing or what we're going to do now, rather than what we're going."

Trump lambasted Democrats for opposing his mass deportation campaign but conspicuously did not address the controversial specifics of that agenda, including the Immigration and Customs Enforcement occupations of Democratic-led states and cities, host Audie Cornish pointed out.

"He did not address ICE, did not address DHS, did not address these things that are actually like lots of people, like, hey, give me an answer on this," she said. "Like, where do you stand on this conceptually? Do you think it's something that is going to, again, Republicans on the trail are going to have to answer for?"

Republican strategist Bryan Lanza, who was a senior adviser to Trump's 2024 campaign, said those issues were just a matter of framing, but Cornish challenged him to explain how GOP candidates would do that.

"That's why I'm asking what's the framing?" Cornish said. "I think the framing so far is we've done a lot to help with the border, and they've done nothing. But he's not talking about what happened on the way to accomplishing that."

Lanza argued that voters didn't care about the process.

"Well, I don't think he has to," he said. "I mean, at the end of the day the voters are going to look at the end result voters. What we've learned in politics, at least over my 20 years, is voters don't care about process, they care about results, and so the process that you're seeing take place is great for TV clicks and great for for newspaper articles. But voters ultimately decide was he was he successful."

Dovere said the polling so far shows that voters do not believe Trump's second presidency has been successful.

"At least so far, that's not what we're seeing from the reactions and the polls and other things over the last couple of months where people are saying, that a majority of them saying that they agree that there is a problem with immigration, the border, they they are still support for president trump doing things about it," Dovere said. "But they have consistently said what happened in Minneapolis, not like this, essentially, right, and the president didn't give it like he was saying. There was no acknowledgment, no acknowledgment, there was nothing to address that, to say, okay this is how that happened, and this is what's going to happen differently going forward."

With the entire “Morning Joe” panel pouncing on Trump’s “serial lying,” Lemire claimed he heard nothing that he didn’t hear from the president’s rambling, almost daily, Oval Office appearances.

After observing, “Last night was President Trump's biggest audience he will see all year, a national audience. Millions of people watched and he came into last night reeling,” he added, “I can't imagine he changed a single mind last night. I can't imagine he won over a single voter last night and that's bad for the Republicans who will be on the ballot this November who have to defend his policies.”

“And I was also just struck, frankly, it's pretty boring,” he reported. “Yes, it had a couple nice moments of patriotism; he saluted the men's [Olympic] hockey team. He singled out a few Americans who deserve to be recognized for their heroism at home or abroad. But it felt like a campaign speech. It felt like more of the same.”

“Like, yes, he was loud. Yes, he, you know, was animated. I don't know, though that it's going to change the trajectory of his presidency one bit,” he predicted.
