“Trump’s Obama Envy”

“I guess we’re in a stage now where people don’t realize that history never stops,” said Morning Joe’s veteran columnist Mike Barnicle during a conversation with Joe Scarborough and Washington Post associate editor Eugene Robinson about President Donald Trump’s performance at the G7 Summit in France, where he openly criticized his predecessor, President Barack Obama. “You had an odd portrait—a mixture of resentment and envy on Trump’s part talking about Barack Obama….But you also seem to have a very dangerous portrait of instability for the first time really on the world stage this year and the portrait is of Donald J. Trump.” Hear more of the conversation about the G7 Summit and Robinson’s latest column on “Trump’s Obama Envy.”
