So thats what i am focused on. thats what i have been focused on. but yesterday, no kcollusion, n obstruction. were doing very well. that was an excuse by the democrats who feel they shouldnt have lost because its almost impossible for the democrats to lose the electoral college, as you know. you have to win up the whole east coast as a republican and thats just what we did. so it was just an excuse but we were very, very happy and, frankly, james comey confirmed a lot of what i said. and some o...

Depends on what the definition of "is" is. in a lot of ways president trump is saying its the definition of what "hope" is. i hope theres no problem with flynn essentially. and trump is going to say, hope, of course, hes a good guy, part of my campaign. im not politically correct. i use the word hope but hes going to try to use that the way clinton did with what "is" is. in clintons case, it was monica lewinskys blue dress and in watergate you have the white house tapes. we dont have that kind o...
