Rachel Maddow: Donald Trump is ‘Emotionally Incontinent’
7/16/202618 min
Nicolle sits down with her dear friend and colleague Rachel Maddow for a revealing conversation about the state of the nation and Rachel's coverage of the Trump administration's cruel and violent immigration policies in the wake of two tragic shooting deaths by ICE agents in the span of a week. They also delve into how Trump's erratic behavior, which Rachel describes as his spiral into "emotional incontinence," has made him incapable of making strategic decisions. The duo talks about the dangers of his incoherence where the war with Iran is concerned, his fantastical claims of charging a toll on the Strait of Hormuz and how all of it is building up to a backlash against Trump and the Republican Party.

This is the best people, and this is Rachel Maddow.

[upbeat music] They really do seem to get more violent and more reckless and more people get killed. As they are scaling up these numbers right now, we are now sealing, seeing an unmistakable trail of bodies in the streets of American cities and towns. And what happens when they do that? Well, Americans are revolted, and they react, including in the streets all over the country. But the Trump administration consistently, in the Kristi Noem era at Homeland Security and now in the Mark Wayne Mullen era, they seem to consistently try to do everything they can to make sure they never have to answer legally for all the people they're killing, no matter what kind of protests they face.
