Processes what happens he changes. lets come back to the credibility question and can you raise it again in the context what have happened yesterday. in the morning he tweets watch judge janine saying im all with paul ryan. paul ryan has trouble to deal with. i like paul ryan and judge gentleman known comes on and says paul ryan must go. thats a credibility question for the president, too. look at his standing right now. 56% of americans disapprove of his job performance. 60% say hes not honest....

But could cement president trumps popularity if he decided to reach across the aisle and look for commonalities with democrats. theres another area in which he stops personal attacks on people and brings people together, but if things go on the way that they have been going on, its hard to see the path. >> one interesting nugget from that quinnipiac poll was on march 7th it was 55% of american voters say that they dont trust him. last week, and now its up to 60. >> one second. one other things, ...
