1. NBC Nightly: Kelly had his head down and arms folded.

3. So now that his mission to bring some level of control to the white house has obviously failed...

Will he:

a) resign

or

b) pledge subserviance to trump with some humiliating public display of loyalty

[Donkees]

2. WATCH: @chucktodd: Trump has likely lost moral authority to speak for the country, and the Party

4. He didn't go rogue; he displayed exactly what he is.

And we were wondering why he never has press conferences? This is why - he cannot restrain himself, and almost always decides that since he has already dug himself a hole, he may as well stand in it and dig deeper and deeper.

It's a dogwhistle to the types of people that attended their little nazi/kkk rally this past weekend. They are ecstatic that he is standing up for them...but a large group of them want someone even further off the edge, someone that "won't give his daughter away to a Jew".

But, in the meantime, they'll take what they can get.

5. Asshat did not go rogue

He, AGAIN, showed us what he is. Does the Republican party recognize this yet?

6. It was the pivot! Hallelujah!

At last, now President Trump has gone rogue, assumed the mantle of Gov. Palin and by golly, we're going to see some real freedom in this country now, boy! Can't you just see Paul Revere riding down Pennsylvania Avenue, ringin' those liberty bells and bringing candy to all the good little boys and girls of Boston?

Makes as much sense as anything President Trump said today.

11. Ringin' those bells to warn the British that they're not gonna take

away our arms!

[Mr. Ected]

7. I hope this is the same Trump the Grand Jury will see

The one who has been handed a simple script to plead the Fifth, but who goes off because he's an angry twit who thinks he will never lose an argument.

8. No, he went Self

It's like Chris Rock talking about Roy getting mauled:

"'The tiger went crazy!' No, man the tiger went tiger!"

9. Chuck Todd: ''This isn't or shouldn't be a story about staff losing control ...''

This isn't or shouldn't be a story about staff losing control. A POTUS shouldn't need to be micromanaged on what they might say about Nazis

10. He didn't go rogue

He just pulled off his white hood.
This is the racist President, in all his glory

[Warren DeMontague]

12. "rogue" from what? He's the fucking President. It's HIS Administration. The Buck Stops Here.

13. I knew it

I doubt his staff even wanted him to answer to questions but he couldn't help himself. He kept asking "ask me a manufacturing question".
