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 have a hard time calling Chris Matthews a human being.
Hillary literally barked in public.
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.
I have a hard time calling Chris Matthews a sentient human being.

So, Trump is a good substitute for viagra?
.
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.
I have a hard time calling you an news anchor.
Chris Matthews has a wife that ran for office as a democrat. He will say anything to get the DNC money.
Was Matthews sober when he said it?
.
So, Trump is a good substitute for Viagra?

Instead of a thrill up his leg it was something down his pants.
Chrissy, Chrissy, Chrissy... where to begin with a snivelling, slimy, sick little schmuck like him...
Good news for Chris. Even if he is a slow learner, he has a full eight years to keep practicing it.
I had a hard time calling Obama a president.
I have a hard time calling Chris Matthews sober.
I had little trouble referring to Obama as Marxist Subverter.
I should have read the thread first. You did a much better job than I did.
