MSNBC’s Jen Psaki Mocks ‘Delusional’ Trump For ‘I Run The World’ Quote: ‘Buddy You’re At 39 Percent!’

MSNBC host and former Biden White House press secretary, Jen Psaki, shredded President Donald Trump for saying, “I run the country and the world,” amid polls that show he is historically unpopular for a president in his position.

On the eve of Trump’s 100th day in office — a political benchmark that dates back to FDR — a new interview from The Atlantic dropped amid a raft of polls that show tanking approval and deep dissatisfaction with the economy.

On Monday’s edition of MSNBC’s Inside With Jen Psaki, the host keyed in on those brutal polls and a quote from that interview to paint Trump as “delusional”:

PSAKI: So, from the economy, to immigration, an issue that a lot of people, Democrats have said don’t talk about, to rule of law, voters seem to think Trump is going way too far. He’s way overreaching, so he is vulnerable. It’s clear in these polls. Not just the top lines, but the issues ones. And he’s — when he was elected and he’s weaker than — he’s weaker than he — when he was elected in November, and then when he took office. That’s clear. You can see that in all of the data and all of the numbers. But his loss of support, which is significant, has not yet translated into democratic gains.

I’m not saying that to be a downer. I think this is actually a huge opportunity, and you have to be clear eyed about this out there if you’re part of the opposition. I mean, when NBC News poll asked the Americans the question, who fights for voters like you? The most popular answer, 38 percent, was that neither party fought for them, 38 percent. So, yes, it is definitely true that most of these polls should be pretty jarring to the Trump team, whatever they say publicly, they deny they look at them. There’s no way that’s the case. But they also show that Democrats have a lot of work ahead, a lot of opportunity too.

And again, we can’t say for sure. We don’t know yet that it will work to be as fiery as J.B. Pritzker or go to El Salvador with, like, Chris Van Hollen, or stand on the floor of the Senate for 25 hours, like Cory Booker, or hold rallies in red states like AOC and Bernie Sanders. But the data shows there’s an opportunity, because the seemingly unstoppable Trump of a few months ago is no more. And that also seems to be making him, in my view, even more delusional. Because despite all of that, despite all of those very real, very specific, very consistent across many, many polls, bad numbers, Donald Trump seems to think everything is going great. He’s going to cling to the idea that he is strong and powerful and successful, even as everything he touches is kind of crumbling a little bit, or a lot, at least that’s the image he’s trying to project.

I mean, he’s sitting down for a number of interviews this week. And the fact is really, really clear when you read one of the interviews, he’s already done, the new interview with Trump out this morning from the Atlantic’s Ashley Parker and Michael Scherer. I mean, take a look at this exchange. “We asked the President if his second term felt different from his first. He said it did. The first time, I had two things to do, run the country and survive. I had all these crooked guys, he said. And the second time, I run the country and the world.”

Quite a thing to say. I run the country and the world? Buddy, you’re at 39 percent in the polls, just so you know.
