By an angry opposition. >> every since the election, i feel like a passenger in a car thats driven by a drunk driver. >> this week, mr. trump returned to a well-worn playbook, holding a 77 minute news conference and spent much of it defending his own performance. >> this administration is running like a fine tuned machine. >> and the president selected and target the enemies including the intelligence community. >> the leaks are absolutely real. the news is fake. because so much of the news is f...

When the issue was discussed having representation of mainstream media bears absolutely no resemblance to the reality. as the president said, a finely tuned machine. >> james: in your book which you published last year, which was excellent. you called for their creation of some sort of overarching document that all branches -- the executive branch anyway should be leasing our approach to jihad on. you likened it to a cold war document. in your duties, are you in work of such creation of a docume...

Question. we certainly have seen, as were entering the second month of this presidency, a lot of dysfunction out there. we saw the president say last week things are running as a fine tuned machine, but when you look at the resignation abruptly of the national security adviser and others, people are, quite frankly, concerned about taking some positions here. all of those four finalists certainly are long time experts, are people who are dedicated to this field here. so if they have the assurance...

Is saying. this is not the model of a finely tuned machine. and finally, he cannot gaslight america, the cia, and the press, which is not the enemy of the american people, but our job is to step up, report facts, and speak truth to power, which is what were doing and it is what were going to do, especially here on cnn. >> alice, your response? >> that is a lot, as usual, with waj, tattle a lot to unpack the let me say this. president trump says that the administration is running like a finely tu...

Opposite. this administration is running like a fine tuned machine despite the fact i cant get my cabinet approved. i see tone. the tone is such hatred which i am really not a bad person. clayton: the press conference shook the political world and he followed up with this treat taking the story one step further, saying the fake news media, failing new york times, is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the american people. peter: a lot of reaction and that including david axelrod who said whenever a...

And he had said that his administration is a fine finely-tuned machine and sort of predicted the news coverage following that press coverage. is it safe to say hes still in the drivers seat even with the cabinet shakeups weve seen and criticism of the administration thus far? >> i think its safer to atheyre trying to get back into the drivers seat. the first couple of weeks in office it was an onslaught of executive orders, setting the tone, a remarkably brisk tone of setting their agenda in ord...
