With less than six months until the election, Trump’s heightened rhetoric on the campaign trail has become more disturbing and extreme than ever. MSNBC columnist Steve Benen and Vanity Fair special correspondent Molly Jong-Fast join Ali Velshi to discuss the most frightening aspects of Trump’s comments and attacks on the campaign trail, as well as what to expect from Michael Cohen’s testimony this week and their major takeaways from Stormy Daniels’ time on the stand.

    every day, day after day, he is in the news, time to end him and move on. vote him out
  • @Sua_Sponte_RSTB
    Calling for "the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution," and thinking you aren't the domestic enemy is peak MAGA
  • @ttcc5273
    Visualize Trump being held accountable for all his crimes, and America being liberated from his malignant narcissism! Om… 🙏
  • @exxekhan
    I can't get past the point of him just being a grotesque human specimen.

    When fascism came to America, it came with a combover and covered in thick bronzer.

    It is no secret that you have to be a citizen to vote. The debate raised by the GOP has zero basis in fact. The Constitution already says that one has to be a citizen to vote. Any legislation to say that one must be a citizen to vote is redundant, and serves only as a distraction from the heftier issues we have to deal with. In 2008, a friend of mine who was born in Japan and had lived in the US for 30 years applied for US citizenship. I asked him why he waited so long for that decision. He said that he did it at that time because he wanted to be able to vote in the 2008 election. I have photos of him swearing in as a US citizen, and I am very proud of him for making the choice.

    What kind of man cheats on his wife while she's pregnant with his child, and then pays six figures to hide it? Gross.

    Trump is not sane......He needs to be committed...He needs to be in therapy ..He is visibly not in control of his faculties.. His " family " needs to get him help ...
  • Never try to make sense of the rantings of a lunatic. Just protect yourself from him.
  • @barsquad4444
    Wow so many people there. This is beginning to get scary
  • Revenge is for the petty. A real man, a real leader, doesn't say such things.
  • @funface4
    The hate that comes out of his mouth is enough to make my hair stand. Hating his fellow Americans just because they have an opinion and view different from him is dangerous. How anyone can give him the time of day is beyond me. He has nothing good to say about anything or anyone and he is truly only consumed with hate, revenge and violence.
  • @aseanWalker
    It was the entirety of his 2016 campaign also. Have we all forgot the 2 years of "Lock Her Up, Lock Her Up"? Only to completely drop it as soon as he was sworn in.
