  • President Trump gave yet another

  • unhinged performance at a campaign rally on Saturday.

  • And his education secretary followed up the next day

  • by giving a train wreck of an interview to "60 Minutes."

  • For more on this, it's time for "A Closer Look."

  • [ Cheers and applause ]

  • ♪♪

  • With the Stormy Daniels story gaining traction every day

  • and the Russia investigation intensifying,

  • maybe Trump is under an unusual amount of stress

  • because on Saturday, he flew to Pennsylvania to rally for

  • the Republican candidate in a special Congressional election,

  • and even by his standards,

  • Trump's antics were especially off the rails.

  • Now, as for the candidate, Rick Saccone,

  • who Trump was ostensibly there to support, he barely came up.

  • Trump's like the friend you invite

  • to your karaoke birthday party

  • who shows up late, doesn't bring a gift,

  • and then sings "Stairway to Heaven"

  • 10 times in a row.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • And Trump was playing all the hits,

  • reeling off vulgar insults of reporters and politicians

  • by name, like, for example,

  • when he brought up the prospect of running against Oprah

  • and implied that he knew something about her

  • that the public does not.

  • -Wouldn't we love to run against Oprah?

  • I would love it.

  • [ Cheers and applause ]

  • I would love it.

  • That would be a painful experience for her.

  • Oh, I'd love Oprah to win.

  • I'd love to beat Oprah.

  • I know her weakness.

  • [ Cheers and applause ]

  • No, no, I know her weakness.

  • -I know her weakness?

  • [ Laughter ]

  • He talks about Oprah the way Lex Luthor talks about Superman.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • And you're not special.

  • We all know her weakness.

  • -I love bread.

  • [ Laughter and applause ]

  • -And listen,

  • don't think you can stop her just because you look like

  • the Pillsbury Doughboy.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • And that's it. That's Oprah's only weakness.

  • This is a woman who spent 30 years getting celebrities

  • to cry on television.

  • She broke Lance Armstrong.

  • If Trump ever does debate Oprah,

  • there's a good chance it will end

  • with him sobbing at the podium.

  • [ As Trump ] "You know, you know who I wish they'd lock up?

  • The part of me that's sad."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • [ Normal voice ] But, of course, Trump was not merely content

  • to attack one black woman in his rant.

  • He then went after California congresswoman Maxine Waters

  • specifically by insulting her intelligence.

  • -We have to defeat Nancy Pelosi.

  • [ Crowd boos ]

  • And Maxine Waters,

  • a very low I.Q. Individual.

  • -I don't know. I bet she says "I.Q." faster.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • [ As Trump ] "I...Q."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • [ Normal voice ] And Trump knows --

  • [ Cheers and applause ]

  • You guys, Trump knows high I.Q. individuals,

  • like his Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos,

  • seen here crushing it last night on "60 Minutes."

  • -Have the public schools in Michigan gotten better?

  • -I don't know. Overall,

  • I can't say overall that they have all gotten better.

  • -Your argument that if you take funds away,

  • that the schools will get better is not working in Michigan.

  • Where you have a huge impact and influence over the direction

  • of the school system here.

  • -I hesitate to talk about

  • all schools in general

  • because schools are made up

  • of individual students attending them.

  • -Have you seen the really bad schools?

  • Maybe try to figure out what -- what they're doing?

  • -I have not. I have not.

  • I've not intentionally visited schools

  • that are underperforming.

  • -Maybe you should. -Maybe I should.

  • -F-minus. F-minus.

  • She's the highest ranking education official

  • in the country, and she acts like a substitute teacher

  • who is just realizing her U.S. history isn't up to speed.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • "Can anyone tell me what this is a picture of?"

  • "Yeah, it's George Washington crossing the Delaware."

  • "Well, no, because Delaware is a state.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • So you wouldn't need a boat to cross it."

  • "Yeah, it's also a river."

  • "I don't know."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • "Yeah, it is. Maybe you should look it up."

  • "Yeah. Maybe I should."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Now Trump always --

  • [ Applause ]

  • Trump always insults

  • and degrades people at these rallies.

  • But his performance on Saturday was especially manic and vulgar.

  • For example, Trump started ranting about his decision

  • to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

  • And when referencing an interview he gave years ago

  • on "Meet the Press" said this about host Chuck Todd.

  • -It's 1999.

  • I'm on "Meet the Press,"

  • a show now headed

  • by Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd.

  • He's a sleeping son of a bitch,

  • I'll tell you.

  • -You're calling Chuck Todd a son of a bitch?

  • Seriously, you know someone's not a son of a bitch

  • when they still come off as approachable

  • despite having the exact same facial hair as Evil Spock.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Trump is, of course, so obsessed with earning the praise

  • and validation of the media,

  • that at one point during his rant on North Korea,

  • he literally just started rambling nonsensically

  • about President Obama,

  • claiming Obama would not have been able to arrange a meeting

  • with Kim Jong-un.

  • -They're saying not that big a deal,

  • anybody could have done it.

  • Obama could have done it.

  • Obama had a chance -- [ Crowd boos ]

  • No, no. They're saying -- Obama.

  • Obama. Obama.

  • -Just -- [ Laughter ]

  • Just mumbling Obama's name like --

  • like Obama was the name of his childhood sled.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • His presidential diaries are going to look like

  • the manuscript from "The Shining."

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Of course, one major difference between Obama and Trump

  • is that for Trump the presidency isn't actually a job,

  • it's just a performance.

  • And on Saturday, he defended his performance by playing

  • make-believe onstage and acting out

  • what it would be like if he were less unhinged

  • and more subdued as president.

  • -You know how easy -- remember

  • I used to say how easy it is

  • to be presidential?

  • But you'd all be out of here right now if I --

  • you'd be so bored.

  • Because I could stand up, right?

  • [ Cheers and applause ]

  • [ Laughter ]

  • I'm very presidential.

  • [ Deep voice ] Ladies and gentlemen,

  • thank you for being here tonight.

  • And then you go, "God bless you,

  • and God bless the United States of America."

  • Thank you very much.

  • [ Laughter, cheers, and applause ]

  • -I have to say, he might be the only white comedian

  • who does a white guy voice.

  • [ Laughter and applause ]

  • He's pretty [bleep] funny sometimes.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • But Trump's ranting about North Korea

  • and being presidential tells us a lot

  • about his shock announcement last week that he had agreed

  • to a summit meeting with Kim Jong-un.

  • Now it's undeniably better to be on a path toward peace

  • than a ramp-up to war.

  • And if Trump somehow manages to fall ass-backwards

  • into a peaceful resolution with North Korea,

  • then that is absolutely a good thing.

  • And if that happens, I will be the first to admit,

  • okay, he wasn't Darth Vader,

  • he was Mr. Bean. [ Laughter and applause ]

  • But for Trump, this is as usual mostly about the show,

  • not about the policy because for months,

  • he's repeatedly insisted that diplomacy was not the answer

  • and even as late as last week, he was incredibly vague

  • about whether he favored negotiation or military action.

  • -President Trump tweeted, and I quote...

  • -We sent out through social media statement

  • willing to go either way.

  • Hopefully it's going to be

  • the proper way.

  • The proper way is the way

  • that everybody knows

  • and everybody wants.

  • -Wow. You are so clear and well spoken.

  • Who was your teacher? Betsy DeVos?

  • [ Laughter and applause ]

  • So, Trump kept -- kept batting down

  • his own Secretary of State's attempts to secure

  • a peaceful resolution even when asked point blank

  • what he would do was incredibly vague because, of course,

  • he had no idea what he would do.

  • It was only after careful diplomacy

  • that South Korea was able to make this breakthrough,

  • Trump caring only about the spectacle accepted on the spot,

  • while Congressional leaders and top officials

  • at the Pentagon and State Department

  • learned what was happening from news reports.

  • So the Pentagon and State Department

  • have to watch the news to find out what the President is doing.

  • I guess it's not surprising since the President

  • also watches the news to find out what the President's doing.

  • [ Applause ]

  • In fact, even -- even the way Trump notified

  • the press about the news

  • was more about theater than substance.

  • After the South Koreans relayed the invitation,

  • Trump walked over to the White House briefing room

  • and teased reporters with a vague announcement.

  • -Within the last few moments,

  • President Trump stuck his head

  • into the White House

  • briefing room and said that

  • there would be a major announcement

  • coming this evening.

  • -And I said, "Mr. President,

  • what is the announcement going to be on?"

  • And he said, "North Korea."

  • -We're showing our viewers

  • a picture when he simply walked

  • into the briefing room over

  • there, the press briefing room.

  • -Okay, first of all, you can't just pop in,

  • say you've got big news on North Korea, and leave.

  • That's like your doctor peeking into your exam room

  • and saying, "I just got your test results back,

  • and they are crazy!"

  • [ Laughter ]

  • Seriously, though, look at him.

  • He looks like he's popping his head into the break room

  • to see if there's any pizza left.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • [ As Trump ] "You guys, big news on North Korea.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • You guys eat all the pizza?"

  • [ Normal voice ] But Trump made his priorities clear

  • when he spoke to reporters Thursday.

  • He didn't comment on the substance

  • of the announcement or how it would work.

  • His focus was mainly about how the press would report on it.

  • -He was almost giddy about this,

  • ecstatic about this news.

  • He said that this

  • would be a big development.

  • I asked if it was about negotiations.

  • He said says it's almost beyond that and then he said,

  • "I hope you give me credit."

  • -That's all he cares about.

  • He just wants credit unless things go wrong,

  • then he wants to avoid blame.

  • If he meets with Kim Jong-un and it's a disaster,

  • you know who who he'll blame it on.

  • -Obama. Obama. Obama.

  • -So the President is ranting nonsensically at rallies

  • and his Education Secretary

  • is giving incomprehensible answers about education,

  • all while the White House tries to resolve

  • a tense situation with North Korea.

  • If Trump manages to stumble his way into

  • a diplomatic breakthrough,

  • that would undoubtedly be a great thing.

  • But if that happens, he will have done it

  • despite being a very...

  • -Low I.Q. individual.

  • -This has been "A Closer Look."

  • [ Cheers and applause ]
