EXCERPT:
MADDOW: “So there you have it. That is a thing that happened. Lest anyone tell you that we should trust Donald Trump on dealing with the Russians, not getting played by the Kremlin, him definitely having lots of savvy when it comes to dealing with Russia. Lest you hear that argument, you can just think of that beautiful moment of Donald Trump enthusiastically pumping the hand of the Gorbachev impersonator. 'I like your tie.' 'Oh, you like my tie?' Donald Trump later said he totally didn’t fall for it at all, he definitely knew that was an impersonator. Sure, sure he did. Judge for yourself. So there’s that.”
