Director and spoerkesperson for this president is hur cue lean feat. and i think youll see more turnover as the one year mark goes on, because the president has done his cabinet constantly in conflict, public conflict with them. >> all right. got to leave it there. thank you. one person we know who had his future in the administration questioned, is secretary of state rex tillerson and hes putting himself out there taking a tough tone in the op he had the response from the kremlin and other reas...

I think everybody wants a president to let off some steam and golf is a great way to do it. so its not like this is necessarily a bad thing he is golfing, its just hypocritical. >> whoever is trying to obscure what he is doing is bad, it seems like im not surprised he plays golf. he played golf before. the number of days is surprising. i feel like obama played golf a lot when i covered him, but this is three times as much. >> the white house worked overtime to say the president is not doing what...

Its marketing and branding and messaging. its branding 101. repeat the same things. it was the best year of making america great again and he sticks with the story. thats donald trump the businessman, i think. >> lets talk about president trump golfing. we talk to talk about this because he does it so much and he criticized president obama for doing it much less and he did and the white house likes to keep this under wraps, but not from our prying eyes. the photographer is getting this shot of p...

And not talk about threats they may have received. threats that they may have identified vulnerabilities. i mean, we are kind of caught in the middle here. mindful that the cameraman is trying to get a precise shot of the president golfing. i get that. but what that does do or potentially does is exposes a vulnerability of that location for law enforcement. now, law enforcement, including the secret service has multiple ways to mitigate that vulnerability. one is blocking direct line of sight wi...

Of whoever was golfing. we asked the secret service. a spokesperson said the secret service is in the business of protection and investigations, not in commissioning vehicles to block the medias view of the presidents golf swing. the other thing we reached out to the palm beach sheriffs office, which is helping with the protection of the president. they, too, could not tell us where this box truck came from. but pam, it seems pretty clear that someone did not want us to get any pictures of the p...

That he can play golf and do work in a day? >> he can do what have hemt wan. hes chief executive. as i said earlier, its not that hes doing these things. theres nothing wrong with golfing or playing tennis. skydiving. do whatever you want to do, just dont lie about it or try to deceive the american people as to whats going on. i dont think president bush actually knew that some lunatics were going to fly planes into the twin towers in new york. you know, president obama was doing whatever he was...
