Trump cut off mid-ramble as MS NOW's Chris Jansing despairs over claims

Summary
MS NOW host Chris Jansing was irritated during a live broadcast on Monday as President Donald Trump spoke to press, cutting him off and initiating a fact-check on the commander-in-chief's comments. Trump was at a Kennedy Center board meeting with his cabinet and congressional leaders discussing a variety of subjects, including the Iran war, when he started rambling — and Jansing wasn't having it. She cut away from the president and responded to what he said. "We're going to wait until we hear some questions that are addressed to the president," Jansing said. "But can I have this? Because I just wanted to fact check one thing that the president said, that he had predicted that Osama Bin Laden would hit the World Trade Center. He was referring to a book that was published in January of 2000."Jansing then read an excerpt from Trump's book. "One day, we're all assured that Iraq is under control," Jansing read. "UN inspectors have done their work. Everything's fine. Not to worry. The next day the bombing began. One day we're told that shadowy figure with no fixed address named Osama Bin Laden is public enemy number one, and U.S. jet fighters lay waste to his camp in Afghanistan. He escaped back to some rock. And a few news cycles later, it's a new enemy and a new crisis. And then he says that 'dealing with many different countries at once may require many different strategies, but there isn't any excuse for the haphazard nature of our foreign policy. We have to reinvent the wheel for every new conflict.'" Jansing pushed back and described why Trump's claims were inaccurate. "So it's a hyperbolic claim that the president just made," she said. "The rest of the statements about the war, I think, are very much familiar to anybody who is following it, that the United States is far ahead, that they've decimated much of what Iran has. And yet he asked for help from NATO allies to get the Strait of Hormuz open. So far, no takers."
