Donald Trump started threatening nuclear war with Iran on Monday, the same day his former campaign chairman was slated to go on trial for charges that could put him in prison for the rest of his life.
On MSNBC, host Lawrence ODonnell opened his show by explaining how the president appeared to be using the threats as a way of trying to alter a news cycle stuck on his collusion with Russia to steal the 2016 election and the trial of former campaign chairman Paul Manaforts trial.
Analyst John Heilemann agreed that war with Iran seemed unlikelyand said that weve seen this move used in Trumps playbook before.
I often scare people on television when I talk about Donald Trump being dark and paranoid and ominous, he said. I always think when hes tweeting about something, I shouldnt worry about it very much, because mostly when hes tweeting about something its gibberish most of the time. It is just deflection, and projection and incoherent rambling. The stuff he doesnt tweet about is the stuff he cares about. He doesnt tweet about Playboy models, doesnt tweet about Stormy Daniels, he doesnt tweet about Michael Avenatti But the stuff that scares him, the stuff that worries? He doesnt tweet about Paul Manafort very much, right?

but congress sits on their hands. Shades of Ron Reagan and a sham Congress then as well. This guys ten times more dangerous bc he's the kremlins red line into America. Talking about taking America down a one man rule rooad...but rea;ly the gop likes it. They get whatever they need from this guy. Not a PAtriot amongst them, and WE PAY THEM.

Or are broadcasts interrupted RIGHT when a key word is spoken. I've noticed it a few times of late. The video will be crystal clear until, it skips for a second.
