Democrats seem to think theyre going to get it by focusing on health care, and President Trump is hammering the issue of immigration.

Family, friends and advisers and decide whether to run for reelection which has been my sole focus or now begin to think about running for president.

On the white house lawn this morning, this guarantee from the white houses top economic adviser. The fed chairmans job safe . 100 , yes. Not in jeopardy . Absolutely, thats correct, yes. The president blames the fed for the worst stock since 1931 and today, the white house blamed the markets no good very bad december on the slowdown but the u. S.
