Crisis of credibility weve been talking about is something the administration has had since day one. ever since former press secretary sean spicer came out and lied about the size of trumps inauguration crowd. the question is, when does all of this break through? when does that sort of core base of his supporters begin to question how that can be fake if even, say, the presidents son donald trump jr. is acknowledging that these e-mails existed, publishing them himself? how can we trust a preside...

>> its like incredible. candidate donald trump boasting about the devotion of his supporters. its fair to say that devotion has been tested. its been bumpy at times, rocky even. more upheaval with the resignation of sean spicer and from the start the russia investigation has been a cloud over the president. yet, we still see a core base that is sticking by him. in a recent washington poll, abc poll, abc washington post poll, 25% say they strongly approve of the job donald trump is doing. a recen...
