MSNBC political analyst Juanita Tolliver told “Deadline” Thursday that President-elect Donald Trump and his supporters “regularly choose to reject reality.”
Guest host Alicia Menendez said, “If this is a strategy, a strategy to be a hero, then you need a villain. He hasn't even decided who the villain is. So now President Joe Biden Somehow a villain, former President Barack Obama Justin Trudeau is a villain, and so are the Chinese soldiers who are lovingly and illegally in charge of the Panama Canal. This is what we expect from the president's leadership. This is not a policy and an Imperial Presidency proposal.
“Donald Trump doesn't want to be president, so I want to make that point about imperialism,” Tolliver said on the campaign stage, saying, “I want to be a dictator from day one, but this is authoritarian behavior.” It reflects that,” he said. What's true about the people President Donald Trump looks to as examples, including President Vladamir Putin, that will last? It's creepy to see it unfold like this. ”
She went on to say, “Reading this made me realize that there is no value in telling Trump and his supporters that none of this is true, none of this is based on reality or facts.'' I was pretty depressed because I realized that yes, you need to learn the difference between pardons and commutations. None of them matter because they regularly choose to deny reality. It seems so.”
