Former MSNBC host appeared on the network Monday morning as a guest to give her take on Donald Trump keeping campaign promises.



"Krystal, one of the things that is notable about everything the president has done over the last seven, eight days, these are all things, as somebody who conquered the Republican campaign since the beginning, he said he would do all this stuff. He said he was going to put in place these executive orders. Why are Democrats seemingly so surprised by this?" current MSNBC anchor Hallie Jackson asked the ex-MSNBCer.



"I don't think we're surprised," Ball said to Jackson, "But I do think a lot of folks who voted for him thought this is a businessman, we don't really like Hillary Clinton. Remember the mantra during the campaign was always take him seriously but not literally."



Ball said Trump's executive action on extreme vetting of Syrian refugees and those traveling from Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Somalia, and Iran "has been very destructive to his brand and his image as a doer and someone who knows how to get things done."



"I think a lot of folks are fairly shocked to see, a, that he really meant all the crazy things that he said on the trail and, b, they thought this is somebody who is going to be confident and get things done and all we've seen is chaos and disarray, and the left hand not talking to the right hand and nobody knowing what any of this means. So I think on that level alone this has been very destructive to his brand and his image as a doer and someone who knows how to get things done and run an organization," Ball said.
