MSNBC host Ali Velshi said Friday that the media will not talk about President Trump’s recent policy successes on North Korea “because there’s a tweet.”
Daily Beast columnist Gordon Chang appeared as a guest on “MSNBC Live,” declaring that “Trump had a very good day yesterday with the sanctions.”
“He got the Chinese, for instance, to order banks not to do business with North Korea. This is a critical story, and yet we don’t talk about it as much because of this tweet,” Chang continued.
Velshi agreed.
