BALDWIN: Welcome back. You're watching CNN. I'm Brooke Baldwin. Back with our breaking news. Steve Bannon has been fired. It has been a chaotic four weeks, even by these White House standards. So let's just all take a moment just to remind you what has happened, incredibly significant events, one after the other.
So in no particular order, President Trump, in the last four weeks, has -- fires his chief strategist, fires his chief of staff, hires a new one, hires a new communications director, fires him, hires a new one, his fourth in seven months, publicly shames his attorney general multiple times, loses a health care bill, publicly shames the three Republicans who voted against it multiple times, bans transgender individuals from the military without telling the military, ticks off the Boy Scouts, makes up a phone call with said scouts, makes up another phone call with the president of Mexico, thanks Vladimir Putin for expelling Americans, hundreds of them, takes days to sign a bipartisan sanctions bill and then blasts Congress for making him sign it, condemns leaks but then says he likes the leaks because it shows people love him.
(Takes a sip of water; my God, THOSE LEGS!!!) Hold on a second. Sorry. This is long.
Encourages people -- encourages police officers to be rough with suspects during arrests, publicly shames the republican leader he needs to get anything done, multiple times, embraces an unpassable immigration plan that sparks a debate about the Statue of Liberty and the definition of cosmopolitan. He threatens North Korea with nuclear war, tells Guam it will help tourism. Then his own chief strategist calls his bluff and says, no, there's no military option in North Korea, threatens Venezuela with a military option. After a Nazi rally in which someone was murdered, the president blames both sides. After the backlash, cleans it up, denounces those white supremacists, but then hours later erases all of it and makes everything worse by again blaming both sides, saying there were fine people there.
No, they weren't. They were Nazis.
Suggests there's no difference between George Washington and Robert E. Lee, publicly shames CEOs who abandon him, then loses two of his entire jobs councils after execs jump ship, considers a pardon for, of all people, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, all the while he's facing these accusations of racism.
By the way, plugs his winery in Virginia when asked if he will, as president, visit Charlottesville. Tells the world to study a lie during a terror attack, and gets condemnations from Democrats, Republicans, former presidents, world leaders, allies, his own staff, and the pope.
And still, still has no regrets.
Someone else condemning the president? The mother of Heather Heyer, the woman killed in Charlottesville.
(Video) SUSAN BRO, MOTHER OF CHARLOTTESVILLE VICTIM HEATHER HEYER: I have not, and now I will not. At first I just missed his calls. The call actually --
the first call, it looked like, actually came during the funeral (what a fucking idiot he is - SL). I didn't even see that message. There were three more frantic messages from press secretaries throughout the day, and I didn't know why. That would have been on Wednesday. And I was home recovering from the exhaustion of the funeral, and so I thought, well, I'll get to them later. And then I had more meetings to establish her foundation.
So I hadn't really watched the news until last night. And I'm not talking to the president now. I'm sorry."
