It was quite the bizarre combination of insults on Thursday’s Hardball as MSNBC host Chris Matthews not only called President Trump a “claptrap” and resurrected an old take about Trump resembling Benito Mussolini, but offered an even crazier take that Trump claps for himself like Chinese people supposedly do.

Speaking early in the A-Block to SiriusXM’s Zerlina Maxwell, Matthews decried Trump’s “rampage ranting, attacking everyone” as a “stream of consciousness” with “[a]ny name that comes to his mind that bothers him at all, he accuses of the worst, they should be in jail and anybody who likes him like Kanye West should getting the civilian highest award in history.”
