'He's rounding up': MSNBC panel bursts out laughing at new Trump 'deal' boast

A Saturday morning discussion on the devastating impact of Donald Trump's tariffs on American consumers spiraled into laughter on MSNBC after "The Weekend" co-host Symone Sanders Townsend read on-air a boast the president made in an interview this past week.

The co-hosts of the popular MSNBC show were peppering guest Bharat Ramamurti, a former deputy director of the National Economic Council, with questions about the long-term effects of the president's trade war, when Sanders Townsend directed their attention to an interview Trump did with Time magazine.

"I just want to ask because the president says he's making all these deals, okay?" the MSNBC co-host prompted her panel.

"He's in this Time interview on Friday saying, 'I've made all the deals.' Time is like, 'When are you going to announce them?' Trump? 'I've made 200 deals.' Time said, 'You've made 200 deals?' Trump '100 percent,'" Sanders Townsend read.

"He also, in that interview, he also said --," she continued, but co-host Alicia Menendez exclaimed, "There are 193 UN members!" which led to an outburst of laughter.

"So he's rounding up there?" Menendez joked.

"They're rounded up," Sander replied before quipping, "I don't know who the extra seven are now."
