-Republicans are rushing to a place retiring
Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy
while simultaneously working to stop the Russian investigation.
For more on this, it's time for "A Closer Look."
[ Cheers and applause ]
Trump held yet another campaign rally last night
in North Dakota, his third rally in a week.
Now, we've been calling these rallies public therapy sessions,
but it was never more true than it was last night.
Watch as Trump airs his deepest insecurities
about not being seen as smart, rich, or popular.
-I meet these people. They call them the elite.
These people.
I look at them, I say, "That's elite?"
We got more money. We got more brains.
We got better houses, apartments.
We got nicer boats.
We're smarter than they are, and they say the elite.
We're the elite!
And I thought that was so brilliant.
I said, "Oh, I am so smart. I am the smartest person."
My uncle was a great professor at MIT for 40 years.
Can you believe? 40 years.
I said, "But I'm smarter than him.
I'm smarter than anybody."
A thing comes out, a big poll, and a couple of polls,
a number of polls that he's the most powerful,
most popular Republican in the history of the party.
-Oh, my God, dude, get a therapist.
[ Laughter, cheers, applause ]
I know they're cheap, but get a therapist.
Trump is like a guy at a bar who acts as his own wingman.
"My buddy thinks you're cute.
He's smart and handsome and popular, and he's me."
[ Laughter and applause ]
But you know what Trump says -- he's smarter than anybody,
and he had a chance to show off those smarts
while talking about the complex issue of trade during his rally.
Trump was defending his tariffs.
Now, this is Trump's thing. It's his big issue,
the thing he claims to be an expert on,
yet when his aides slipped him a note
during the rally about Canadian wheat practices,
he seemed confused.
-I'll tell you, John and Kevin gave me something --
they just told me --
Canadian wheat markets consistently discriminate
against the United States wheat by grading it as feed.
Do you know what that means?
They know what it means.
I don't know what the hell it means.
