Rachel Maddow DESTROYS Trump For Having A FAILED Administration & Not Passing Anything At All

Rachel Maddow DESTROYS Trump For Having A FAILED Administration, ‘Nothing they like to brag about’ MSNBC host Rachel Maddow on Sunday argued that President Donald Trump’s administration had failed at everything “they like to brag about.” “If you just look at what they’ve done in terms of policy,” Maddow said on Al Sharpton’s MSNBC program, “it’s interesting they haven’t been able to do anything successfully on any of the stuff they like to brag about, they like to talk about, that he campaigned on. [The] Muslim ban has been a disaster.” She pointed out that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) recently admitted that Mexico was never going to pay for Trump’s border wall. “The health care roll-out is an absolute disaster,” Maddow continued. “Politically, it’s absolutely dead. I don’t think anybody believes it will ever pass the Senate. They never tried anything on taxes. Remember, they were going to do a trillion dollar infrastructure plan. Nothing that they like to talk about, nothing they like to brag about, none of their big stuff is working or, in many cases, they’re not even trying to make it work.” Maddow is continuing to highlight evidence of collusion by Trump’s campaign in Russia’s interference with the U.S. election — and signs that the Russian government is pulling the strings of Trump’s presidency. For several nights, Maddow’s MSNBC show has featured the news coming out on the Russia connection. It’s emerged that Trump campaign was behind the weakening of the Republican Party platform plank on Russian incursions into Ukraine; it’s been alleged that this was payback from Trump for Russia’s cyber-support of him. The latter part is not yet confirmed, but there were many contacts between the Trump campaign and the Russian government. Trump’s weakening of the State Department and putting former ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson, a friend of Russian President Vladimir Putin, in charge, is likewise suspicious, according to Maddow. Then Thursday night, she noted that Trump associates seemed to have advance knowledge of all the documents released through WikiLeaks during the campaign, as did Russian state media. Russian hackers are suspected of providing the information to WikiLeaks. And the president may have known what was coming in this week’s WikiLeaks dump of documents that purport to reveal much about the CIA’s computerized espionage methods and therefore could undermine such efforts. The CIA has not confirmed the authenticity of the documents. British politician Nigel Farage, who supported the U.K.’s exit from the European Union and has long been a Trump ally, had dinner with the president two weeks ago, Maddow pointed out. Farage also has close ties to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and was at WikiLeaks headquarters in London this week for a press conference on the latest revelations. WikiLeaks says a U.S. government contractor provided the documents, but some former intelligence officials say it’s unlikely so much information would be available to one person. “The alternative hypothesis is that the Russians have done it again to confuse the story in the U.S.,” cybersecurity expert James Lewis told NBC News this week. “I find that at least as persuasive as the one WikiLeaks is peddling.” “The Russian government attacked our election,” she said Thursday. “The Russian government was in contact with multiple campaign sources while they were doing it. Russian nemeses in the American government, U.S. State Department, the CIA, are not fairing well since Donald Trump came to power. Is the operation that Russia started during the campaign — is it over? Or are they still running it? Are we still in this now?On her MSNBC show, Maddow noted that the one thing Trump campaign officials seemed to care about when the Republican platform was being drafted last summer was making sure it did not call for the U.S. to provide lethal weapons to Ukraine to fight Russia’s invasion.
