What Dokoupil failed to mention, however, was that the couple in question could…

On Monday's Last Word, MSNBC's Tony Dokoupil inadvertently revealed that his network restrains itself from pressing Donald Trump too hard.

The correspondent later touted how "history will be made" if the talks conclude successfully, and added, "I can't wait to see…
