New tonight, President Trumps tweet storm continues, blasting away at this hour. Now he speaking favorably of the economy, but also of his old foe mitt romney. More on all that in a moment because we are also hearing about a possible sign of an overture with the media. The president may be sending a peace offering to the press by reportedly a agreeing to it on the gridiron with a journalist and not set out the white house correspondents dinner. No White House White last year. The president returns to a washington simmering over guns and russia. With Leland Vittert covering the latest on all those fronts, leland. We will start with guns.

The Washington Post reports the president spen
Cnn political analyst warned that trumps criticism of the media improves hes a wouldbe dictator. Discrediting mueller, discrediting what may come out of the Justice Department, discrediting the press of what mueller does, this is what splits a country apart and this is the beginnings in many other countries it is the beginnings of enough authoritarian rule. Tucker thats kind of hilarious. The irony of course is that he spent much of his own career in government, not simply criticizing reporters by actively lying to them, as is custom.

Six months h ago, these were jut four young lefties in a sea of 235 house democrats. Now, they are the Democratic Party.
