He ‘Wants to Kill Us’: Rachel Maddow Describes Her Bizarre Phone Call With Donald Trump
Meyers and Maddow spent much of the rest of their interview trying to psychoanalyze Trump’s relationship with cable news.
“There’s never been a president who is more addicted to news about himself and who’s more response to the news that he supposedly thinks is so worthless,” said Maddow “So it’s a weird tension. It’s a dangerous time for the first amendment and the free press in this country. At the same time, we’re oddly influential with the guy who wants to kill us.”
Meyers compared the whole thing to being a serial killer in love with the person trying to arrest him.
