  • The president had another, preposterous day today.

  • On twitter this morning he did something very, very Trumpy.

  • He tweeted"In new Quinnipiac Poll.

  • 66% of people feel the economy is 'excellent or good'.

  • That is the highest number ever recorded by this poll".

  • True, the part of the poll he didn't mention is,

  • far more of the people polled

  • believe president Obama's responsible for the stronger economy.

  • Not him. 49% to 40%.

  • And not only that, 63% of those polled

  • said president Trump is not honest.

  • And 56% give him an "F" or "D" grade for his first year in office.

  • Same poll that he tweeted.

  • It was... What a day it was today.

  • They're all big days but this one,

  • president Trump today.

  • He rejected a bipartisan deal for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, DACA.

  • which is the program that protects young immigrants

  • who are brought to the United States as children, people like Melania.

  • Who wound up here, and, but apparently,

  • what trump objected to in the bipartisan plan

  • was(were) the senators from both sides.

  • who wanted to restore protections for immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador,

  • and a handful of African countries.

  • They had to be rescued from difficult situations in those countries.

  • Not only did trump reject the plan, he said.

  • And before I share what specifically he said.

  • I would like you to keep in mind this is an actual quote.

  • From the actual president of the United States.

  • We can put this up on screen and explain this.

  • I apologize for using this word here.

  • But this is a quote from the president.

  • Why are we having all these people from [bleep] hole countries come here?

  • Trump said, this is in "The Washington Post".

  • According to these people who are in the meeting.

  • Referring to African Countries and Haiti.

  • He then suggested that the United States go about bringing in people from other countries like Norway,

  • whose prime minister he met with yesterday.

  • Well, listen, I'm sure the fact that countries he described as [bleep] holes are mostly populated by people of color

  • and the immigrants he wants from Norway are not, is a coincidence.

  • Because, if it wasn't, it would mean we voted for a racist.

  • Like a real one.

  • And we'd have to get pitchforks and chase him out of the White House.

  • But, I also assume the White House would deny he said that.

  • They did not.

  • They just tried to spin it.

  • It really is unfathomable.

  • You just can't believe that this is the guy running our country.

  • The only silver lining, and this is a small silver lining, but.

  • The only silver lining is we got to hear Wolf Blitzer say this all day.

  • S-hole, s-hole, s-hole, s-hole, s-hole, s-hole, s-hole.

  • What an s-hole.

  • That would make a great alarm clock

  • So anyway, thanks Vlad Putin, you really got us good.
