Watch this Morning Joe segment with veteran columnist and frequent contributor Mike Barnicle reacting to President Donald Trump's comments during a Fox News interview defending his handling of the economy, predicting lower gas prices, and arguing his administration deserves an “A+” for its economic record. “The description of 'Trump World' as he explains it is really so irrational, so out there, so apart from what happens every day in people's lives in this country. If you look around the country, if you feel for the country, if you do your own grocery shopping, if you just walk around and talk to people, this is a paycheck-to-paycheck economy for huge, huge numbers of people,” says Barnicle, adding that every candidate this fall—Republican and Democrat—should have to answer to constituents: 'What will you do for me and my family?'
