mary trump blames donald trump's father for the disgraceful behavior that we see from donald trump every day. >> one of the unforgivable things my grandfather did to donald was he severely restricted the range of human emotion that was accessible to him, which makes it -- >> what does that mean? >> it means that certain feelings were not allowed. >> like? >> sadness. the impulse to be kind, the impulse to be generous. >> mary trump feels that the dysfunctional trump family dynamic has now infected the nation. >> i feel as i write in the book, that there are so many parallels between the circumstances in which my family operated and in which this country is now operating. i saw firsthand what focussing on the wrong things, elevating the wrong people can do, the collateral damage that can be created by allowing somebody to live their lives without accountability. sgln donald trump is now facing the ultimate accountability. it is going very, very badly for donald trump. a new poll has joe biden now with an 11 point lead over donald trump nationally. 51-40. and american voters overwhelmingly

donald trump lied about mary trump while he was introducing mary trump to melania. he said that mary trump had survived a terrible drug problem, and mary trump immediately corrected him saying i've never done drugs in my life. but donald trump kept pushing that lie. it seemed, as rachel said, when she introduced the subject in her interview that donald trump experiences pleasure and was experiencing pleasure in that lying which would certainly be one important reason he can't stop doing it. it might be the only pleasure left in his life at this point. mary trump agreed with rachel's analysis that lying is a perverse pleasure for donald trump and mary trump added another psychological motivation for donald trump's lying and why he must be surrounded by people in the white house who never challenge his lying. >> yeah. it's also a power play. one that fits into his favorite narrative, you know? the comeback is much more impressive if you are coming back from a really awful place in the gutter like being a drug addict instead of just like having a tough time in life. it

trump by far than mary trump. when she came, ironically, to be her second co-writer or ghost writer, she never got an interview with him. he literally wouldn't talk to her. so all these things we said four years ago, the good news is that i believe that the coaless sense of so many events that demonstrate his malfeasance and we are watching him on the one hand destroy himself, which i am happy to see happen, but on the other hand to destroy the country in the process. >> there is one other very important thing i think mary trump explained tonight. she explained why the united states is doing literally the worst job in the world of fighting the coronavirus, and it's because of that twisted psyche of donald trump that was shaped by his father that does not allow donald trump to admit a mistake. mary trump says that admitting a mistake is like the death penalty for donald trump. let's listen to this. >> even at the time i was writing, we were, i think in new york we were passed the worst of it, but it was clear that

if >> president trump: cases. case is buried >> chris: then it went down and now since june it has gone up, more than double. one day this week, 75,000 new cases, more than double -- >> president trump: because we have great testing, if we didn't test, you wouldn't be able to show that chart. if we tested half as much, those numbers would be down. >> chris: this isn't burning embers, this is a forest fire. >> president trump: claims, will put out the flames and we will put out in some cases just burning embers. we also have burning embers. we have for embers and we do have flames. florida became more flame-like but it's going to be under control and you know it's not just this country, its many countries. we don't talk about it in the news. they don't talk about mexico and brazil and still parts of europe, which actually got hit sooner than us, so it's a little ahead of us in that sense, but you take a look, why don't they talk about mexico? which is not helping us. and all i can say is thank god i built most of t

when we look at wisconsin, sure, donald trump did do a little bit i'm sorry, michigan, donald trump did do better than romney, he got an extra hundred thousand votes, but what is interesting is that in wisconsin, donald trump received 2000 fewer votes than romney. it really was looking at this, it really was the democrat candidate that kind of blew it there. but pennsylvania is, and that is your stomping ground, is a whole different category. because hillary clinton basically came just shy of 20,000 votes of where barack obama was in 2012. it really was trump finding these voters and whether we call them the forgotten voters, he looked for new voters, got people registered. but to the tune of 240,000 more votes than mitt romney. that is huge. that is the story that i think people mistake between michigan and wisconsin versus pennsylvania. i think it's that pennsylvania strategy that trump is trying to duplicate, not just in pennsylvania but in other places. do you think that can work? >> you're absolutely right. this is how donald trump sort of pulled that insight straight. he pulled a

when we look at wisconsin, sure, donald trump -- i'm sorry, michigan, donald trump did do better than romney. what's interesting is, in wisconsin, donald trump received 2000 year votes than romney. romney.fewer votes than it really was the democrat candidate that kind of blew it there. the pennsylvania, and that is your stomping grounds, is a whole different category. because hillary clinton basically came just shy of obama intes of barack 2012. so it really was trump finding these voters, we call them the forgotten voters. of 240,000 more votes than mitt romney. that is huge. i think people mistake the difference between michigan and wisconsin versus pennsylvania, and i think it is that pennsylvania stock that trump is trying to duplicate, not just in pennsylvania, but in other places. >> you're absolutely right. this is how donald trump pulled a rabbit out of a hat in 2016. he found voters that weren't really -- didn't vote otherwise. is something that comes up in focus groups all the time. it's such a blind spot for politicos, which i have people sell the time, why did you vote for

trump, even his own lawyers were telling me trump thanks about trump. trump likes people who think about trump. melania speaks about trump. she has been really his biggest supporter. she told him for instance that forget all of these people who are mocking you. she believed he could win and that was really important to him. she urged him to do it. i think it is fascinating that she came from another country, she reads a lot and it drives some people in the white house crazy because she finds these critical things and she will bring them to the attention of trump and he will get upset. her point is she wants trump to know who is on his side. they do it as a loyalist and a non- loyalist. people are upset that melania and -- in one way she is not elected she's just the influenc influence. it's hard to know you were saying before one of my supposed to think about this first lady? is she really like trump? the answer with everything it's complicated. she's like him in some ways but not in other ways. she has been with him at the critical moments. one of the

we are focused on donald trump. there is absolutely value in the republican party learning a lesson what they have done to donald trump. the key is for joe biden to run up historic margins and i think i may be fond of susan collins but not martha makes sally. some of those -- of joe biden wins by enough i don't think it is bad for the republican party to learn the lesson you nominate a guy like donald trump he decimates the party. that is what you get for it so i am of two mind and decide we wanted people to participate in our program who were not necessarily going to vote for democrats. i am pro-life, never vote for a democrat for but i won't vote for donald trump. we want our tent to be big enough to accommodate those people so you can't put together that kind of coalition if you are also doing the senate. we want people who will vote for tom tillis that won't vote for donald trump. we want those people too. there is a strategic answer and an emotional answer. >> host: we talk about the future of the republican pa

is asking of trump. tonight, the state of american law govern tk powers of the president is different than it was yesterday. this is no small development. it comes after a multiyear legal and governmental battle to try to hold this president accountable. a president who was basically arguing literally out loud the law just shouldn't apply to him. >> the president is not above the law. he will be held accountable. >> he's trampling on the constitution. >> no one is above the law. that includes the president of the united states. >> there is nothing more dangerous than a president who believes they are above the law. >> the president is not above the law. >> nobody, not the president, nobody may be above the law. we have to enforce that. >> you've heard that a lot. fromle people, legal constitutional scholars, and many people who are democrats and happen to oppose the president. today the supreme court ruled all of that is true and is the constitutional law of the land. it is not like basically true or in

mary trump's book says that donald trump's father was a, quote, high functioning y sociopath and trump is fundamentally incapable of acknowledging the suffering of others. donald trump does not care. that is not news. but the ways in which donald trump does not care become clear whenever new matters of presidential concern emerge in the news that donald trump clearly does not care about. there is no real dispute that donald trump did not care about the children that he was putting in cages in our southern border. donald trump wanted his voters to know that he was putting those kids in cages and absolutely did not care about those children and he wanted his voters to know that he felt that way because donald trump believes that that's one of the very big reasons that those voters voted for him, that he does not care about anyone at our southern border. donald trump doesn't care about american soldiers who may face a greater threat in afghanistan because vladimir putin is paying to have them killed. and donald trump doesn't care about anyone currently enrolled in any public school in ame

trump issued some. high profile pardons and i think by doing that i think he was sending a message to some of the people who might slip on him michael cohen paul metaphor and others of hey i'm using this this part of power and perhaps there could be one for you down the line if you stay quiet there is basically a deal if you will an informal deal that if you keep your mouth shut then i'll take care. if witnesses keep silent it weakens mahler and his investigation. no i'm not above the law but yes i do have an absolute right to pardon myself i have the absolute right i don't have to do it never did anything wrong or you know that better than anybody the idea that. a u.s. president would even talk about or even consider pardon themselves is just unprecedented and i think undermines the credibility of our whole way of governance and democracy in general so when you have president trump who seems to think that he is above the law it's antithetical not just to the american idea but to the idea of modern demo

mary trump knows this. mary trump has authorized her friend to speak, in effect, for her at this point. mary trump will probably be watching what you'll be watching next. when our daughter and her kids moved in with us... our bargain detergent couldn't keep up. turns out it's mostly water. so, we switched back to tide. one wash, stains are gone. daughter: slurping don't pay for water. pay for clean. it's got to be tide.

to continue look i think trump's going to lose but i think donald trump in trump is is still going to dominate the republican party so conservatives like me who don't like trump i think i'm going to be in the world in this for a while well we'll never know what they did in secret i'm going to ask you mike want peo says in public that he once an allied countries to china to some i want to fear and change the communist party of china and we've heard trump joking about china in what is being variously described as so cool cold war tombs do you think you'll even get to november over legal and some kind of war against china we were thinking he was going to go into it on their own you know i think pomp alun i served with pompei on congress i know pompei i like him i think pompei was talking tough because donald trump doesn't talk tough about china my pompei o rightly talks tough and defends hong kong doesn't there's not one china trump and calling coronavirus the chinese myers. we will call it the chinese virus we'll call it the virus and then in private and in public man since january dona

donald trump. oregon officials insist that the federal presence in portland is just prolonging the protests and aggravating those protests. oregon's attorney general was in federal court today suing the trump administration to remove the unwelcome federal officers in portland. she said she was asking the court to declare it not acceptable for federal officers to use unconstitutional police state type acts to detain citizens of oregon without cause. on the senate floor yesterday, oregon senior senator ron widen said this. >> donald trump did not send that paramilitary force. this expeditionary force to keep people safe. donald trump is doing this to create an image of chaos, to air them on far right television, scare the country, turn them into campaign ads. >> this is the nixon play book. this is the presidential campaign first run by richard nixon, the most corrupt president in american history until he was replaced in that status by donald trump. when richard nixon and the country watched on live

trump likes people who think about trump. melania thinks about trump. she has been really his biggest supporter. she told him, for instance, forget all these people mocking you, she believed you can win and that was important to him. she urged him to do it. i think it is fascinating that she is in another country, she reads a lot and it drives some people in the white house crazy because she finds critical things and show strength retention and trump will get upset but she wants trump to know was on his side. you have the loyalist and non- loyalists. people are upset that melania, and one way, she's not a lefti leftist, she is the influence it's hard to know what you're saying before, think about this persuading, she really liked trump? everything, it's complicated. she's like him in some ways but not otherwise. been with him at the critical moment and one of the things that surprises people her own take on immigration, with a man who has a negative view on immigration when her parents, her sister have all benefited by open immigration into the u.s. >>

and marry trump's father was fred trump jr., the heir apparent to the trump kingdom. but he never liked working for his father's company, and became an airline pilot despite his father's pressure to join the family business. p fred trump jr. died at age 42 after years of alcoholism in 1981. making donald trump the heir apparent at age 35. mary trump offers an explanation of why fred trump jr.'s life was crushed under his father's pressure and donald trump was re not. the only reason donald escaped the same fate is that his personally servedhi his father' purpose. that is what sociopaths do. they co-op other sbgs use them tos their own ends ruthlessly d efficiently with no tolerance or defense or assistance. fred destroyed tonld too but not by snuffing him out as he did freddy. instead, he short circuited donald's ability to develop and experience the entire spectrum of human emotion but limiting donald's own access to his feelings and rendering many of them unact septemberible, fred pervertedle his son's perceptio of the world and damaged his ability to live it in, hi

that's how mary trump describes her uncle donald trump and her grandfather, fred trump, sr., in her new book. "too much and never enough, how my family created the world's most dangerous man." mary trump's book offers an explanation of how the person with the tiniest vocabulary in the history of american public speaking managed to get accepted at an ivy league college. it says donald trump's older sister, marianne, did his homework for him but -- >> donald trump's older sister, marianne, went on to become a federal judge in new jersey. at the beginning of the trump presidential campaign, the book quotes donald trump's sister, telling mary trump, he's a clown. mary trump is a clinical psychologist, and in that capacity, she is the first mental health professional who has been able to offer a diagnosis of donald trump based on actual personal observation of the patient. now, i started calling donald trump a liar the minute he opened his mouth about president barack obama's birth certificate in 2011, then i started calling him a pathological liar when he couldn't stop talking about it. i f

of trump enterprises. and congress one question needs to be addressed by the investigative committee why did trump fire james komi. why do you believe you were fired. so i don't know for sure i believe the prick think the president at his word that i was fired because of the russian versification something about the way i was conducting it the president felt created pressure on him they wanted to relieve he was asking for something and i was refusing to give it. and fact early in his term trump asked to speak to call me in private. there was a meeting at the white house a one on one meeting between trump and call me call me must have had his antenna up because he felt like something was wrong because as soon as he was done that meeting he wrote up these memos. after meeting with trump call me sat in his car and wrote down what was discussed the meeting was about general fled the advisor who had lied about his contacts with russia trump said he hoped komi coming let the matter go. i hope you can let this go

it was literally said at the top, trump administration, trumps accomplishment. and barack obama, i couldn't imagine barack obama doing something like that and handing a journalist a list of the things he would accomplish. as a certain level of feeling he is an outsider and he has to convince reporters and historians, give him due credit and i was struck by that. he brought in a top-secret letter of the north korean leader and showed that to me in english and korean and we can't report within the letter but look what i'm doing in north korea, no one else has been able to accomplish this so that speaks to a sense he's an outsider and reporters are not being fair to him and he saw our interview as a chance to be heard. >> arlington virginia. good morning. >> had a, and then a question, i read your other book, the president and i liked it, it was interesting. you've talked about traditions and under obama, they used the dossier which was a foreign agent from a foreign source, they supplied it to the fisa court to embed spies tried to bring down a presidency and i wa

donald trump does not. let's focus on getting those solutions implemented, including passing the george floyd justice in policing act. >> the senator joe biden today talking about donald trump basically just surrendering in the war on the coronavirus and also what is now the biden plan of how to restore this economy, which of course begins with somehow getting control of the coronavirus. >> yeah. joe has a great plan that he unveiled today. it's the first in a three-part series that is focussed on addressing the economic health and well-being of america and the first one that he unveiled today is about bringing back manufacturing jobs, supporting union jobs, implementing a $15 minimum wage, investing in research and development and innovation in america. you know, joe talks about it in the sense of, you know, we want to export american products but not american jobs, so it is very exciting. again, let's have a leader that focuses on what we need to do to strengthen our country instead of donald trump who tr

and i'm sure trump aced it. ( as trump ) "okay, here we go. uh, that dog's gonna eat the unicorn's butt. watch out, humpy horse, you're next. okay, i did it. where's my chicken tenders? this restaurant sucks. there's not even a treasure map on the back." at a cabinet meeting in early june, trump brought up the exam and waxed on about how he dazzled the proctors with his stellar performance. how can you dazzle a proctor on that test? ( as proctor ) "incredible. mr. president, you knew the date and the month. you've graduated summa cum clock." sources say that, recently, trump has been especially braggy about the part of the 2018 test where he was able to repeat five words in order. "that's right. i said all five words. and then the doctor said, 'no, you have to repeat the words i gave you.' and i said, 'my words are better: cookie, hat, wall, boobs. cookie." you get double cookie with mine. so trump is feeling insecure about how people perceive his mental acuity heading into the election, which might be why he has also suggested challenging joe

but the place of the police as enforcing trump ideals and trumps policies. and so, that is the long-standing fantasy of what is going to happen. >> not leery we've gone right we've talked about the right engine white supremacy and we need to go in another direction now what you think is the role, connection, enter joining or lack of intertwining of the religious right? the evangelical churches that have always supported trump? i think historically correct me if i'm wrong neither german fascism depend on close relationships with the church but here it seems to me so we have this relationship between trump, the rights, and the church or at least a portion of the church. >> i think you are right, mussolini comes to power at a moment when the catholic church, and then by then satan 19204, 50 years had refused to recognize the italians to which took away the churches lands during the unification of italy from 1816 to 1870. but trump, excuse me, did successfully come to terms with the church. which none of parliamentary governments before him. he signed in 19209 i

they funded the wall until trump -- trump made it his campaign slowing -- slogan. the they are in the corner and have to oppose something as necessary as a border war. but we had a billion people thanks to obama also but thanks to the democrats, obama was encouraging illegal immigration because the democrats want the votes. as straightforward as that. so, obama and the democrats created an untenable situation where if you -- if an illegal immigrant -- i prefer the term illegal alien -- put his or her foot inside an american border that was it. they were in america. complete destruction of our border policies. we don't have borders because of that. so, of course, faced with a million people trying to get in, i.c.e. had -- put people behind chain-link fences which were called cages, by the racists in the democratic party like kamala harris and cory booker and -- all of them for that matter. so, elijah cummings was raking trump's head of homeland security, acting head, humiliating him. the guy didn't get the first sentence out of his testimony for elijah cummings was

now evidence that trump is

trump. asked in an interview with the daily news whether he thought cutting this health coverage could appear coldhearted given the baby's medical condition, donald told "the new york daily news" that he made no apologies. he said, quote, i can't help that. and george washington couldn't lie about whether or not he cut down the cherry tree. jfk had pt 109. eisenhau eisenhower saved the free world from the nazis. all presidents have back stories, what they do to get them to the white house. it's part of their lore. it's why the country chooses them to lead. for donald trump, there is that time he cut off health insurance to his baby boy nephew with the severe seizure disorder as a hardball legal tactic against his relatives so he could get his share of their money. i cannot tell a lie, says george washington about the cherry tree. i can't help that, says donald trump about denying lifesaving care to a baby so he can inherit his relative's share of his dad's money in addition to the millions o

for donald trump in 2016. what's the game plan now to turn this into a win. >> we're organizing everywhere, we're leading with our values. we have i think the perfect candidate joe biden who can ignite our country. we have a remarkable partnership at the dnc with a biden campaign. we've veinvested in michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania, but our field continues to expand. and that is what we're doing day in and day out. we have a 100-day sprint right now. we'll have roughly 2,000 people in the coordinated campaign. we've been building up, as you correctly pointed out, we've outraced the trump campaign two months ago. we're closing that gap. i think what we have is joe biden at the top of the ticket. what you just had on there is senate obama from before. people are sick of a president who divide us. people want a commander in chief, not a tweeter in chief. people want someone who will have their back. someone they can trust. joe biden is someone you can trust. joe biden's a dreamer and a doer. this is what we're

it's not up to donald trump. donald trump is going to leave office if joe biden leaves the electoral college because it is not up to donald trump if joe biden wins the electoral college, chief justice roberts is going to swear in joe biden as the next president of the united states at 12:00 noon on january 20th, 2021 there is nothing donald trump can do to stop that, but that won't stop the precious few interviewers who are allowed to donald trump from asking him, will he accept the results of the election as if it's up to him to accept the results of any election chris wallace asked donald trump that question in an interview on fox yesterday, and donald trump got what he wanted with that question and his answer. 24 hours of distraction, 24 hours of people worrying that maybe donald trump won't leave office 24 hours of no one noticing that the interview went very, very well for donald trump, as well as it could possibly have gone under the circumstances because chris wallace never asked donald trump about intelli

mary trump alleges that president trump, donanald trump, paid friends to take his sats. close welcome at the time that you and i would have taken our sats, it was easy to hirire someone to cheat for you. today, they havave phototo ids d proctors and they check these things. d during t theheard of 60''s for ririch boyoys to hire- for maybe rich h rls, to hihire other peoplele to take theirir s . we have collegeges all over the place that were acceptingng stududents w who we e not qualid in helping them evade ththe dra, which meant that pooror boys, often black and brown poor r bo, would have to die in v vietnam while donald trump is famously said he wawas dodging venereal disease in manhattan with all the women he was chasing, and that was his vietnam. amy: david cay johnston, thank you very much for being with us stuff we will continue to cover these stories, pulitzer prize-winning investigative reporter previously with "the new yorkrk times,"," now with dcreport.org. he has written two books on donald trump. when we come back, we look at another suprememe court decisio,

the conspiracies of trump fans. >> donald trump is the hero of a ring of predators and child traffickers. >> this is the first time in our history that a conspirasist. >> a democracy that will soon elect a president. >> this is the first time i can remember having a fear or anxiety that a sitting president, if he loses a free and fair election, won't leave. >>> good evening. i'm fareed zakaria. let me begin with a confession. this is not the kind of topic i usually tackle. and i am concerned about repeating false information. but the subject is urgent because the conspiracy theories circulating, now, are dangerous. and the president of the united states is trafficking in them. when donald trump tells us that elections are rigged, obama gate is the biggest scandal in history. some know these ideas are wholly false. but others are less certain. especially, when they hear a story full of details, that seems to explain everything. polls show that up to 50% of americans have believed at least one of these conspiracy theories. this is a story of just how destructive they have become, not just

trump read trump. host: donald j trump who? caller: see how easily we will forget? guest: very good. caller: i have a serious point. i have a running bet with anybody flying donald j. trump 2020 flag, make america great again, or a mega hat. i have $20 for anyone that can show me a made in the usa tag and not a made in communist china tag. also trump's ties, made in china. i come from a factory town. guest: sorry, i didn't mean to step on you. of prompted a memory watching mr. trump on the david letterman show many years ago. i think he was on to promote his ties. letterman reached across and said, may i? and turned the label and it said, made by slave labor in chengdu province. it was one of the few times i had seen mr. trump abashed. ironic, isn't it? i would like to finish with a joke, that i still have a serious point. host: quickly. caller: he ivanka trump has 23 new patents in china. i come from a factory town and our factories have been overstated by republican unit -- unionbusting. it seems the only union they do support is the police union and prison guard

trump has a record of carnage which has been mentioned. trump cannot run on misogyny. you eliminate misogyny from a national campaign, and it looks very different in america. joe biden is finding that out. i wrote a couple weeks ago, why aren't the attacks sticking against joe biden in the way they did against hillary clinton? he is a white man. that's the state of politics in america. it's harder to paint someone like joe biden as the villain, untrustworthy swamp creature, than it is to depict women like that. that's sad. trump doesn't have that weapon at his disposal this time. >> until joe biden picks a woman. i have to tell you, the panels have been great today. this is my favorite panel. i begged for more time with this panel. thank you for bringing this conversation front and center. erin and elise will be back later. coming up, the director and producer of "john lewis goodtrouble" joins me next. get your tissues. stay tuned. it's a reason to come together. it's a taste of something good. a taste we all could use right now. so let's make the most of it. and make

mary trump also claims that her aunt, maryanne trump called donald trump a clown and didn't think that he could get elected. here is that little bit. he's a clown my aunt said during our regular lunches at the time. this will never happen, i agreed. we talked about his reputation as a faded reality star and failed businessman would doom his run. does anyone believe this that he's a self-made man? what has he accomplished on his own? well, he had five bankruptcies, dot, dot, dot. i mean, how would somebody like donald trump, and i know it was partly through the book that he wrote with you, trick so many people into believing he was such a good businessman when he was so bad at business? >> it's back to psychopathy. they are essentially the same diagnosis. and a sociopath has no conscience and has no empathy. that's trump. and as a consequence, he could say anything and do anything. his psychopathy made it possible for him to tell a story over and over again that wasn't true without any guilt or shame until essentially it's like humpty dump ty. you keep pushing and pushing and finally we
