New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman appeared on Sunday's "Meet the Press" to share his views of President Donald Trump's Saturday morning tweets.
THOMAS FRIEDMAN: This is waking up at 6 a.m. in the morning, tweeting out one of the most damning accusations one president could make after another, and then, as Dany said, then talking about Arnold Schwarzenegger. That is non-...
CHUCK TODD: And he did 18 holes.
THOMAS FRIEDMAN: ...non-presidential behavior. That is not adult behavior. That is juvenile behavior. And the fact that we have a president who engages in that is, to me, deeply disturbing.

What would you think if you're a world leader going into a meeting with the..."What do I say to this guy? What might he say about this meeting?"
He is everywhere we look. And we talked about this before. I quoted my friend, Dov Seidman, who makes the point there's a big difference between formal authority and moral authority. This president has formal authority. But every day you see him eroding his moral authority. And in the end, that is really going to hurt us.
