Savannah Guthrie burns Trump for self ‘congrats’: ‘Literally everybody predicts another attack’ [View all]

During an interview on the Today Show on Monday, Guthrie threw cold water on his self-congratulations.


“To a lot of people, that struck them as unseemly,”
she explained to Trump. “That at this moment that 49 people lay dead, you were focused on yourself and giving yourself congratulations.”

The presumptive GOP nominee argued that Guthrie claim was “completely false” because the tweet went on to say that he would rather have “toughness & vigilance” than “congrats.”


“But you did stop and say, ‘Oh, I acknowledge and collect your thanks,'
” Guthrie observed. “And then you later say in this statement, ‘I predicted this.'”

“Which in fairness,” she continued, “literally everyone predicts that there will be another terrorist attack. There’s no one that doesn’t recognize that that’s the world we live in.”

“Why are you giving yourself credit for predicting something that everyone knows will happen?”
the NBC host wondered.
