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.

I don’t really care, and what Chris Matthews does or doesn’t do is irrelevant.

I complained for 8 years about Obama being president. You know what it got me?

Nada.

But, I opposed him, so I complained. It was my right.

I don't think I said the word President and Obama together for the last 8 years. The two words just didn't go together!

But, President Trump has a ring to it...an authenticity. Sounds great!

Try it, Chris. You'll get used to it in these eight more productive and successful years of President Trump.

Ironic that Chris Matthews got a tingle up his leg over a communist usurper who was certainly not culturally American and may not even have been legally an American. How can someone with such low standards care if President Trump is not always polite or diplomatic?

That’s ok, Chris.

Chris Matthews has a wife that ran for office as a democrat. He will say anything to get the DNC money.

Instead of a thrill up his leg it was something down his pants.

Good news for Chris. Even if he is a slow learner, he has a full eight years to keep practicing it.

I should have read the thread first. You did a much better job than I did.
