At an impromptu press conference outside the White House today, President Donald Trump pushed back on the notion he wasn’t civil by bragging about his Ivy League education and telling reporters he is “very intelligent.”

During this evening’s broadcast of MSNBC’s Hardball, host Chris Matthews highlighted that moment and others when Trump has boasted about his intellect. Matthews then turned to MSNBC political analyst Ron Reagan for his thoughts Trump’s remarks.

“You know, we get outraged for a few days over the latest incivility coming from Donald Trump, whatever tweet or remark he made about a Gold Star family,” Reagan said “And it’s fine. We should note these things and catalog them.”

He continued, “Donald Trump is a deeply damaged human being. He is a sociopathic, malignant narcissist, and he happens to be, you know, the electoral system, not the American people, but the electoral college has sort of vomited this thing up. And it landed in the Oval Office. And it needs to be removed. It’s a stain. It’s a big glob on the carpet there.”

Reagan went on to add that whether it was by “impeachment or the 25th Amendment,” Trump needs to be removed, adding that the president is a “danger to the world.”
