some difficult questions i think trump you know is smart enough to realize that you know he has rubbed up against the limitations of his power but the one thing he doesn't do having realized that is to stop boasting and if you carry on boasting while things are going you know to hell in the handbasket all around you that's just not a good look and again no one has the cojones
to stand up to him in the cabinet or even whisper into his ear ever so quietly between KFC and cheeseburger, don't do this, sir.
It doesn't do you any good.
Yes, that's true, but also Trump loves an enemy.
What you've got to understand is at the end of the day, although we think this could be disastrous for him, we're talking about him.
He's relevant.
The worst thing you can do to Donald Trump is to not talk about him, to treat him with silence.
That would be an absolute disaster for him.
At the end of the day, he's a ratings guy.
The ratings are really good.
Everyone is tuning in because every day he comes up with something else that's outrageous.
Sometimes it's backed up with actions.
sometimes it's just words words words words but we're all talking about him you could say we talk about him too much but he is making the weather because he isn't just a talker he's also the commander-in-chief of the world's most powerful nation and he uses his military power in order to make you know rhetorical points and vice versa so we can't not talk about him and so tonight we'll be talking about something else and tomorrow it might be cuba and the day after the world cup and then by the way let's not forget about the ballroom or you know the enormous triumphal arch
in Washington, which he's building for the nation and for himself, which will make the Arc de Triomphe in Paris look like a croquet hoop.
I mean, these are all extraordinary things, but he keeps on delivering because that's what he wants to do.
He wants us to be caught in his occupational, attentional economy, and we are.
Let's find out what's been happening in the Middle East because clashes have continued in southern Lebanon overnight.
This is despite Israel and Hezbollah accepting a US plan to implement a partial ceasefire.
Channel 4 presenter Matt Fry joins me now.
Good morning, Matt.
