MSNBC this weekend hammered President Donald Trump’s repeated use of the phrase “I don’t know” during his second term.
Across multiple programs, the network aired damning montages of Trump attempting to distance himself from controversies — such as over reports his administration has sent migrants to Libya, his apparent unfamiliarity with his own nominee for U.S. surgeon general and even questions about whether he as POTUS should uphold the Constitution, and more.
“He wants to be seen as the all-powerful strongman who controls every facet of government,” said host Jonathan Capehart during one segment. “But these days, his approach to governing, especially as his White House continues to cause massive chaos both here and abroad, can be summed up like this: ‘Don’t blame me. I don’t know anything about it.’”
