"You don’t prevent a constitutional crisis by threatening a financial one," Cavuto said in response.





He added that Trump guarantees both crises when his "very actions and words create that crisis or make people think you’re hiding one."

"Like when you say you knew nothing about payments to a stripper and a former Playboy model until you did, then explain your former lawyer Michael Cohen made those decisions until we heard on tape that you did."

He went on to call out a series of false claims the president has made during his presidency, saying that "we can't move" on from them because more "stuff like that keeps popping up."

“I know you’ll call this fake, but the implications of what you’re doing, Mr. President, are very real," Cavuto concludes. "You are so darned focused on promoting a financial boom that you fail to see that you are the one creating this moral bust.”
