President Donald Trump tried to intimidate the financial system into giving him all the services he wants, but MSNBC's Ari Melber was left stunned by the result.

Specifically, when Trump sued Capital One, alleging he was being discriminated against for his political views, the institution hit back, revealing that it had actually had to exclude him due to suspicious patterns that could indicate money laundering.

MS NOW host Ari Melber was left in disbelief Saturday after prominent Democratic strategist James Carville dropped a bold prediction about President Donald Trump.

“I don't think Trump matters that much anymore. I think he's a washed up, fat, old man,” Carville said, appearing on MS NOW’s “The Beat: Weekend” program.

President Donald Trump's grandiose foreign policy promises have led him headlong into a disaster that he will face severe punishment for at the ballot box, longtime political strategist Chai Komanduri told MS NOW's Ari Melber on Thursday.

Specifically, he argued, Trump led the public to believe he was creating peace with his actions in Iran — and instead he has simply brought the war of his own creation roaring back.

MS NOW's Ari Melber hit back at an outgoing Republican senator on Wednesday who has been recently vocally critical of President Donald Trump.

During a press gaggle on Wednesday, Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) was asked by a reporter about the Trump Department of Justice trying to prosecute people for allegedly damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Tillis slammed the move, arguing that it seemed to be inexplicable that the DOJ would seek to prosecute the alleged vandals when the president pardoned people who beat police officers during the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol.

Knives are coming out for top Trump aide Natalie Harp among the president's other aides, The Nation correspondent Joan Walsh told MS NOW's Ari Melber.

National attention has flooded onto Harp, sometimes called the "human printer" for her tendency to give Trump favorable printouts on cue, after Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) highlighted the bizarrely close relationship she has with Trump during a campaign speech.

President Donald Trump and his family's self-enrichment schemes, which stand to net them $1.4 billion in crypto profits alone, are more than a moral issue, Nobel Prize-winning economist-turned-political pundit Paul Krugman told MS NOW's Ari Melber on Wednesday — they're an active threat to the U.S. economy.

"We talked earlier in the program about what is wrong with Trump's corruption, how it also violates his own claims and past vows," said Melber. "I thought I would start by asking you in plain English, as an economist, what is the cost to the rest of us, the public, if the government is corrupt or captured, separate from the morality?"

Senior Trump administration aide Stephen Miller has had his sights on control of the courts, reporter Jonathan Swan told MS NOW's Ari Melber on Tuesday — but he wants to take things much farther than the Federalist Society, the infamous group shuttling right-wing lawyers to prestigious clerkships and judgeships.

This comes after Trump himself has turned on the Federalist Society, despite it doing substantial legwork to help him get his judges confirmed in his first term, and calling its longtime leader, Leonard Leo, a "sleazebag."

Nobel Prize-winning economist turned liberal political commentator Paul Krugman broke down for MS NOW's Ari Melber on Friday evening why the SpaceX IPO valuation that just made tech tycoon Elon Musk the world's first trillionaire stinks to high heaven.

'You make several critiques," said Melber. "I wonder if you could start with kind of what I've read to be your most conservative kind of math critique, which is you basically lay out why you don't think this thing is worth what it claims to be worth."
