Administration, President Trump just wrapping up a rally in missoula, montana where he, among other things, retold the story of his victory in 2016, went after Hillary Clinton, called democrats an angry mob, and urged republicans to get out the vote. The choice could not be more clear. Democrats produce mobs. Republicans produce jobs. There you have it, the new talking point. The president also said the upcoming election will come down to a few key issues. This will be an election of kavanaugh, the caravan, law and order, and common sense. Thats what its going to be. Its going to be an election of those things. There are those that say that caravan didnt just happen, it didnt just happen. A lot of reasons that caravan, 4,000 people. But i just want to thank the Mexican Government because theyre stopping it hopefully before it every gets to mexico. [ cheers and applause ] as you know, im willing to send the military to defend our southern border if necessary. [ cheers and applause ] all
Does that speak to the fact that hes just a lot more interested in dividing americans than bringing them together and when he has a chance to talk about how america comes together, he still lies and suggests that its torn apart. Hes fighting for the next five minutes, not for not even the next five weeks, much less the next five years or next five decades. Basically hes going to keep doing this because he has been rewarded for t hes the president of the United States, he gets the feedback loop he wants from those of his supporters. I think he thinks of us as an audience, not as a country, and is happy to have, in the professional wrestling sense, the people who boo him he thinks are booing him partly because its their role. I dont think he takes on any kind of constructive criticism. So i think where we are is we have a president who now or has for quite a long time, hes incapable of changing because the way hes acted has been rewarded. I think that the only thing people can do at this
The president flies home heres his big takeaway from his visit to the united kingdom. The meeting with the queen was incredible. I really got to know her because i sat with her many times. We are automatic chemistry. You have that feeling, good feeling. There are those that say they have never seen the queen have a better time, a more animated time. We begin the hour with a new and dramatic warning from the president from the American Economy he hopes to ride to reelection. The government says just 75,000 jobs were created last month, way below expectations. Its the latest sign the economy is slowing, and it comes as the president is just hours away from a big step that could slow it more, announcing new tariffs on all mexican imports to the United States. Now tariffs are normally a weapon in trade wars. As we see in the highstakes white house confrontation with china, but in the case of mexico they are a president ial bludgeon in an immigration dispute. Talks continued today, and ther
And thats despite the promise from President Trump time and again that he would protect the most popular provisions of the law like protecting people with preexisting conditions. Now, clearly not so much. Adding to the head spinning confusion here, there are new report this is mos this morning some key cabinet members arent on board with the president s decision to target health care right now. Jeremy, what are you learning about this white house infighting over this decision . Reporter it all began in december when a federal judge in texas ruled that the entire Affordable Care act should be struck down. That ruling is now working its way through the appeals process. But at the time, the administration believed that only parts of that law should be struck down. So this ruling from this federal judge ignited a heated debate within the administration about what the administration should do. Thats what one white house official told me. It essentially broke down the battle lines between th
Farce second time. I dont want to see a shultdown, shutdown won a terrible thing. So why did trumps press secretary say this earlier today . We want to see what the final piece of legislation looks like. Its hard to say whether or not the president will sign it until we know whats in it. Lisa lehrer is a National Reporter for the new york times. Welcome back. Two sources who have spoken directly to the president tells cnn he plans to sign the bill. Why does it seem the white house is stringing this along . With this president you never know if hell sign something until the ink is on the paper. Hes known for changing his mind and there are still some disputes over in congress about reauthorizing the violence against women act, about whether to give contractors back pay for their time off work during the shutdown so this is not quite a done deal by all the signal s were getting feel like its moving forward. It would be a weak moment for the president. This is the first major event of thi
