Base of immigration, this is one issue he campaigned very hard line on consistently. just talking to republicans and some supporters of the president, you get the sense that, if they get something in exchange for something on daca, that that could allow the president to make the case that ive championed immigration reforms that havent been done by my predecessors. if they can allow him that, but then again, the question is what in exchange. there are lots of differences around border security, w...

No matter what that particular moment was, it is sort of unprecedented to have a president go after repeatedly the fbi and the intelligence services like he has. this is not something that any of his predecessors have done. and whether it is because he is trying to cover something up, or simply demanding, you work for me now, is his belief. and, therefore, i expect your loyalty. i expect you to do what i say and to protect me. i mean, that is who he is. president trump is not someone who takes h...

Closer relationship with russia and has often been very dismissive of the finding of the intelligence community that russia intervened in the 2016 election. this is sort of a constant theme with him. more broadly i think hes frustrated hes not able to make more progress on north korea and even though he is partially complementary of china for having helped, he feels the little bit of help china is providing is being offset by moscow. >> whether or not in terms of north korea the u.s. should enga...
