MSNBC’s “Hardball,” anchor Chris Matthews covered the story of President Trump’s hosting of German Chancellor Angela Merkel at the White House, and he accused Trump of “hating” Merkel while calling her “the best leader in the world right now.”

The show opened with a montage of clips of Trump criticizing Merke’s policies during his campaign, while Matthews did his best to make it seem like Trump singled Merkel out for criticism for no apparent reason.

“Well, sometimes it feels like it’s Trump’s world,” Matthews said. “And we’re just living in it. Today, Trump world collided with the real world as president trump hosted German Chancellor Angela Merkel at the White House. The meeting, which was at times awkward, comes after candidate trump repeatedly criticized the chancellor, during the campaign.”

Matthews asked, “Why does he hate Merkel? What is this about? She’s the best leader in the world right now. The public likes her, and she is functional.”

Yes, according to Chris Matthews, Chancellor Merkel is “the best leader in the world right now.”

As the “best leader in the world,” what could President Trump possibly have against her? Matthews wants to convince his viewers that there’s no legitimate reason anyone could possibly dislike Germany’s Chancellor.

As Matthews intended, the question was answered by his guests who suggested Trump hates her because she reminds him of Hillary Clinton. Women with power, according to “Hardball,” anger Trump.

According to Matthews, women reminding the President of his former campaign opponent is more feasible than a disagreement on immigration policies.
