As President Donald Trump prepares to mark the first 100 days of his second White House term, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow shared what she views as the “clear lesson” of the last three months as she dropped news of her own.
The primetime host in the opening minutes of her Wednesday show revealed that her 100-day nightly run would wrap at the end of the month.
“This is my last week of doing this show five nights a week,” Maddow told viewers. “I said around inauguration time that I would be here for the first hundred days of Trump’s term in office, that hundred days is up a week from tonight, and so a week from tonight will be my last night of this five-day-a-week thing.”
Maddow, who has emerged as a chief critic of the Trump administration, said she would be on-air every Monday while MSNBC’s Jen Psaki takes over as host Tuesday through Friday.
But Maddow left viewers with three key takeaways she said she’s gleaned from following Trump’s first months in office.

“We know he’s trying for the whole dictator thing – you know, no elections, no courts, no resistance, rule by terror, right? We know that,” she said. “We know the people of this country aren’t having it, but I think what we should also know, what we have just lived through in this first 90 plus days thus far, is him screwing up. It’s him absolutely blowing it.”
The MSNBC host went on to tell viewers that while it was crucial to understand the seriousness of Trump’s intentions, “I think it is equally important to recognize that he’s really bad at everything he tries to do.”
“I don’t know if he’s bad at good stuff he tries to do because he’s not trying to do much that seems good, but the bad stuff he’s trying to do, he’s been real bad at that,” Maddow concluded.
