confirm a new attorney general. we ll be keeping an eye on that. yes, we will, sara, thank you. you will see ahead that swearing in and the president s cabinet meeting at the top of the hour. formerly worked in the bush white house and jeffrey toobin, cnn senior legal analyst. nice to have you. 30 minutes, david druker, until there s a new chief of staff. i almost said a new man in charge at the white house. that is clearly not true but someone who has more power in the white house. we ll see how much sway over the president. generally quite friendly to the president but has called him out wrote this. shuffling of staff furniture won t matter unless mr. trump accepts the white house problem isn t mr. priebus, it is him. so, does kelly get more authority in this white house than priebus did? we ll find out. the president tweeted there is no white house chaos. the president respects two kinds of people. people that make a lot of money
could survive re-entry into the earth s atmosphere. president trump took to twitter to pass off blame saying, quote, i m very disappointed in china. our foolish past leaders have allowed them to make hundreds of billions of dollars a year in trade, yet they do nothing for us with north korea, just talk. wait a second. we will no longer wait. i m sorry. richard haass, isn t this quite about-face, i thought donald trump thought one dinner with china would take care of the entire korean problem. we ve run up gements against the limits of the chocolate cake. the most wonderful chocolate cake you ve ever seen. at the end of the day, china likes korea so much it wants two of them. it wants to keep a buffer state on its border so the idea china is going to somehow put enough pressure on north korea to destabilize it is a fool s hope. it s not going to happen. david, we ve been talking about the first six months you
street journal which is obviously conservative. it s fair to also say they haven t been the biggest supporters of president trump. i don t think they think he s a conservative, for one. but they say in an op-ed called or an editorial, house editorial called priebus wasn t the problem, this shuffling of the staff furniture won t matter unless mr. trump accepts that the white house problem isn t mr. priebus, it s him. do you really think that general kelly, secretary kelly, white house chief of staff kelly, whatever you want to call him, will be able to go into the president s office, the oval office, and say mr. president, please stop tweeting. or if you re going to tweet let s have a discussion before you do it because it is an official message and it is undermining what we are trying to do. i ve known the president for quite a while now, several years, and i know that he responds very, very well to flag officers. it s a group of people that he s very respectful of. i think th
about trump s sessions abuse. he is harming himself, alienating allies and crossing dangerous legal and political lines. if trump wants to blame someone for the existence of special counsel mueller, he can pick up a mirror. on the health care bill, he never tried to sell the policy to the american public, in part because he knows nothing about health care and couldn t bother to learn. on priebus, the shuffling of the staff furniture won t matter unless mr. trump accepts that the white house problem isn t mr. priebus, it s him. now, in the past conservative intellectuals like yourself denouncing trump have not made much difference. will this is this are we seeing something new? we are seeing something new because the wall street journal does speak with and for paul ryan. the challenge for the republican party as an institution is while president trump is a severe problem so also is the editorial page of the wall street journal. with a republican president elected in 2016
the campaign and the president wants to be successful. so the conservative wall street journal editorial board has written that priebus was not the problem, saying that shuffling of the staff furniture won t matter unless mr. trump accepts the white house problem isn t mr. priebus, it is him. presidents get the white house operations they want and mr. trump has a chaotic mess because he seems to like it. he likes pitting faction against faction. the reason mr. priebus wasn t as effective as he could have been is because mr. trump wouldn t listen to him and wouldn t let him establish a normal decision making process. if this katrina, is coming from the wall street journal, does it make you agree more a bit? no, not at all. we ll take opinions all day long. at the end of the day, we re talking about donald trump. someone who has been very successful on the outside. he s going to be successful on the inside. his management style has been the same from the very beginning and for th
