Quick Takes

DONNY DEUTSCH: The optics I see is the guy who's the accidental dictator. When I say accidental dictator, he never thought he'd be in office, now he's in office. Doesn't know how to behave any differently. When you contextualize this, versus, the press is the enemy of the state, let's blow up the Ninth Circuit. I don't know, the Senate and the Congress, I don't know if that works any more. Alternative facts. Let's ban the press from the White House, ban the press from the campaign, the press is enemy of the state. Let's give states the right to round up immigrants. On and on and on. And his love for thugs. This is a man that genuinely has behaved for 70 years one way, does not understand the office he has and actually behaves as a dictator. We can't call it any other way at this point. Oh by the way, let's imprison Hillary Clinton. We are in very, very, very dangerous territory here. In every way. You feel it. I think everybody right now feels what's happening. There's a man sitting in that chair that is frighteningly ill-equipped to understand the office he's in, to behave within the framework, and this is just the latest example. You can feel the thread being pulled. You can feel the clothes starting to come off the emperor. I believe this is the beginning of the end. MIKA BRZEZINSKI: Yeah. I do, too.
