Former Bernie Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver appeared on Fox & Friends today, and he locked horns with Brian Kilmeade over why Donald Trump‘s presidency isn’t as great as the program makes it out to be.

The two began by discussing Sanders’ impact on the 2016 election and the possible connotations for the upcoming midterm elections throughout the country. As Kilmeade moved the conversation towards Trump’s rising poll numbers and his recent political wins, Weaver reminded him, along with the Fox News audience, that the president has a knack for getting wrapped up in scandals and shooting himself in the foot.

“You can count on this president to muck it up again. That White House is in such disarray. There is so much dysfunction there, you read the story saying everybody is feeding on everybody else…That is really administration in disarray. He may have a good week now and then in terms of one issue or another, but in the long term, it is not going well.”

Kilmeade countered with Trump’s endeavors with Iran and North Korea, but Weaver retorted that Trump is currently trying to save Chinese company ZTE after all his talk about China stealing American jobs.

“He can talk about trade, but that is a loser, I have to tell you,” Weaver said. “The truth of the matter the guy who promised to drain the swamp turned the White House into a cesspool run by corporate insiders…We can’t deal with Iran but somehow the president will magically deal with North Korea? You know it is craziness over there.”

Former Bernie Sanders Campaign Manager: He May Run in 2020

by Jon Street | 10:38 am, May 15th, 2018

Former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders‘ former campaign manager Jeff Weaver said Tuesday that the 76-year-old Vermont Democratic Socialist may run again for president in 2020.

If a potential Sanders bid for the White House is successful, it would make him the oldest president ever to assume office in his first term. Sanders will be 79 years old in January 2021, when the next U.S. president is sworn into office. Despite questions about the senator’s age, however, Sanders hasn’t given a straight answer as to whether or not he will run.

“What would you say are the things that might convince Bernie Sanders not to run for president in 2020?” MSNBC’s Kasie Hunt asked Weaver Tuesday morning.

“A meteor falling on his head?” MSNBC’s Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough quipped.

Weaver, though, responded by pointing out the “grueling” nature of a presidential run, which would seem to serve as a deterrent for a man in his late 70s. However, Weaver added that Sanders is interested in making sure the progressive vision that he articulated is carried forward.”

1. I wonder if Jeff Weaver discusses Tad Devine in his book

or on his book tour.

I'm still curious to hear about Tad Devine.
