I do my best not to listen to what he says: Ex-Rep. Joe Walsh offers strategy for continuing to back TrumpAppearing on MSNBC Monday afternoon, ex-congressman Joe Walsh (R-IL) defended President Donald Trump while admitting that he tries his best to ignore the things said.
Appearing with host Katy Tur, Walsh took up the topic of Trump stating he would be honored to meet with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un. As a Trump supporter I do my best not to listen to what he says, Walsh told Tur. Ill tell you what, if I pulled my hair out for every nutty thing he said, Id be bald.
Look, he continued. To say that you would be honored to meet with Kim Jong-Un is beyond offensive. And Im sorry, everyone gives Sean Spicer a pass, hes got the most difficult job in the world thats an easy one to slap away. There is no way Trump should have said honored.'
Congressman, if you say you have to ignore most of what the president says, why are you still a Trump supporter? Tur pressed.
Katy, its not an easy job, Walsh replied. I try to focus on what he does, but Ill be the first to acknowledge, that, look, he makes it very difficult.

(6,078 posts)1. What he does is just as bad as the things he
says. I'm so sick of republicans trying to explain away or defend all of this crazy bullshit.

Sit in the Oval Office all day and sometimes forget to sign Executive Orders
Make phone calls to world leaders that very
often are a disaster
Play golf

* A bully
* A dictator
* A monster out of a Stephen King novel
Not the POTUS though.
