Chris Matthews Says He Has a ‘Hard Time’ Calling Trump ‘President’

MSNBC "Hardball" host Chris Matthews said on Tuesday that he had a "hard time" saying "President Trump," and suggested President Donald Trump at times was more like a "blogger" than President.

"It seems like that guy like he's some blogger. He's not the president," Matthews said after recalling Trump's previous speculations about former President Barack Obama and Sen. Ted Cruz's (R., Texas) father.

"When he gets up at dawn and starts tweeting, that doesn't seem like an official statement from a president. It strikes me as the guy who used to say Obama was [an] illegal immigrant or that Ted Cruz's father killed Kennedy," Matthews said.

Matthews then asked his guest Rep. Eric Swalwell (D., Calif.) if Trump is acting like a president when he makes claims like the ones Matthews had just mentioned.

"When he makes these claims, what do you make of them? Who is he? Is he president when he's doing this or is this some weird extracurricular at dawn he practices?" Matthews asked.

Swalwell responded by ridiculing Trump as an "armchair uncle" and suggested he wasn't a "focused" president.

"He's that armchair uncle after Thanksgiving dinner who's just letting his unfounded opinions fly, and we need a president who's focused right now," Swalwell said.

Righteous Brothers say, “you’ve lost that loving feeling”. Chrissy Mathews says, “I’ve lost that tingling feeling”.

Matthews would probably feel more comfortable calling him “Dear Leader”...

No tingle for you Chris? Too bad. It is going to hurt when you wake up and discover no one really cares about what you think.

But if it helps you to get through the days to believe President Trump is not moving ahead on his agenda, well bless your little heart, just go right ahead and believe that.

Chris Matthews is a Democrat hack. He didn’t like Reagan or Bush either. He’s just not believable.

Does anyone remember when Obama was photographed with a “selfie-stick,” taking stupid photos of himself to promote some stupid thing or another? What did Matthews think about that—was Obama acting presidential? Did he consider him President over that?

I watched Trump win on the night of Nov 8th on MSNBC and it was one of the greatest night of my life excluding the births of my children and grandkids...

Chris Matthews, Rachel Madcow & Brian Williams were the perfect trifecta of miserable left-wing liars and loonies to have announce the greatest Presidential victory in American history...

Have you forgotten Matthews’ bizarre admission, when Trump was elected, about a sensations running up his leg. Matthews politics appear to be governed by something very far from rational analytics. He would be well advised to simply shut up on the subject. What he might define as “Presidential” might be very, very strange, indeed.

That is not for this fat ass to decide. The voters made this decision already so this arrogant A-hole needs to STFU and report the provable, factual news.
