Summary

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the fact that Donald Trump told MAGA Republicans to do nothing about the border this year, apparently because Republicans cannot afford to give it up as an election issue. Also in this episode, we expose how Trump has managed to delay his criminal trials, something no regular citizen would be able to do. Plus, as Trump openly roots for an economic crash, Joe Biden presides over what even Trump advisors admit is a whopper of an economy. Can Democrats spread this truth? All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
