Jon Meacham On Trump’s Shutdown Schizophrenia: ‘If He Can’t Say No To Stephen Miller, God Help Us’

Presidential history specialist Jon Meacham cautioned on Monday that movement change was being undermined by President Donald Trump's powerlessness to close out radical individuals from his staff like approach guide Stephen Miller.

On MSNBC's Morning Joe, have Joe Scarborough thought about Sen. Lindsey Graham's allegation that Miller was undermining Trump's capacity to arrange a movement change bargain that ensures supposed Dreamers.

Scarborough inquired as to whether there were any verifiable parallels to the present government shutdown "where you have a 32-year-old associate [Stephen Miller] who takes a position that is outrageous, that is an anomaly and the president keeps on calling it quits from what he accepts."

“The presidents who are warmly remembered are ones that ultimately tell their political base that they’re wrong,” Meacham explained. “These are people who tell their supporters, ‘On this one, the right thing to do is not what you thought.’ And one of the reasons to go into politics is to be able to move the ball in that sense.”

“And what’s noteworthy here is he’s the president of the United States,” he added. “If he can’t say no to Stephen Miller, God help us.”
