Tonight i looked at him and i said, no, its not president ial. Hes a president unlike any other. Thats exactly right. If it was president ial, then i wouldnt be president. He was a bully. Im not finished, im not finished fake news. He said i was going to destroy the Republican Party, he was going to blame me. Cruelly insults. They call her pocahontas. And the most horrific of imagery. They will be met with fire and fury and frankly power, the likes of which this world has never seen before. Some of his governing choices even puzzle republicans. Whats going on at the state department . Not enough. And his tweets drive his opponents crazy, helping to drive down his approval ratings. But his supporters love it. They wanted him to come and send a message, break some china. And hes doing it . This man reigns and manages by chaos. Trumps first year, reign of chaos. I, Donald John Trump do solemn by swear. I was thinking, this has to be a dream. It was an amazing moment. I will faithfully execute when that hand goes on the bible. The United States. The government changes, the global views change, the Nuclear Codes change. So help me god. Congratulations, mr. President. When donald j. Trump was sworn in as 45th president of the United States, nearly everything americans had come to expect of the presidency chan d changed. Shunned by political leaders from both parties, trump sought to disrupt the way things were traditionally done. We will follow two simple rules, buy american and high american. He was the business man who thrived on disorder. This man reigns and manages by chaos. A man with no particular allegiance to anyone but himself and his supporters. We will no longer accept politicians who are all talk and no action. Donald trump promised disruption. Its why many supporters voted for him and why many of his opponents dreaded his presidency. Neither group had to wait long. The type of President Donald Trump would be became very clear before his inaugural week was even over. And the first clues came right here. Mothers and children trapped in poverty, rusted out factories, scattered like tombstones, this american carnage stops right here and stops right now. Even in his inauguration address, traditionally upbeat and unifying, President Trump kept the tone of candidate trump. I thought what a wasted opportunity. For senator jeff flake, a trump critic was watching. That would have been a great time to pivot, to give a hopeful, hospitoptimistic this we are instead of talking about our fears. Kellyanne conway is now counselor to the president. When he makes a promise, hes making that promise to all americans, even though who will criticize him and attack him and try to deny his presidency for an entire year. The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer. He really wanted that particular address to be dedicated to the forgotten man and the forgotten woman. Theyre always outside the system looking in. God bless you and god bless america. After the inaugural parade, a signing ceremony signaled this president would keep his promises. It was an executive order telling Government Agencies to begin to prepare for the dismantling of president obamas signature legislation, the Affordable Care act, or obamacare. He went right from the start to rip at the Affordable Care act on this idea of repeal and replace when there wasnt even a plan to replace it with. He campaigned on obama being terrible, the Republican Party base is of the opinion that everything obama did is wrong and so he was playing to this crowd. The fthing that the president hs been singularly obsessed with is losing his base. So at the inaugural ball, there was a nod to the base, it would become a theme, and there would be more nods the next week, he put the nail in the coffin on a trade deal he said was bad for the american workers. Great thing for the american worker. He approved two Oil Pipelines previously delayed by Environmental Concerns and he promised to built a wall along the southern border. He also continued his attacks on the press, even when standing in front of the Memorial Wall at the cia. I have a running war with the media. They are among the most dishonest human beings on earth. Those attacks on the Fourth Estate would become another theme. I get up this morning and i turn on one of the networks and they show an empty field. I said wait a minute, i looked out, the field was it looked like a million, million and a half people. They showed a field where there were practically nobody standing there. This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period. Untrue. President trumps inauguration is in the picture on the right, president obamas 2009 ceremony on the left. Obamas crowds are clearly bigger. Sean spicer, our press secretary gave alternative facts to that. We have to have shared facts that we operate on. Thats, i think, fundamental to any democracy and hes certainly challenging that. Todatoday conway says that e was a mistake. Your job is not to say ridiculous. I talked for 36 minutes to three r different anchors and they took two words that i said. Alternative facts is partly cloudy, partly sunny. Those are alternative facts. Heres a fact, seven days after being sworn in, 13 months after calling for a total and complete shutdown on muslims entering the United States, the president signed this. Im establishing new vetting measures to keep radical islamic terrorists out of the United States of america. It was an executive order that turned around residents from seven muslim majority countries. It was not vetted carefully. It was very in your face. It infoura infuriated democrats as well as republicans. It really caused me a lot of heartburn. Why . I got a text message from my son, he said theyre not letting him in the country. At the Philadelphia Airport and airports across the country, chaos. Their visas apparently were revoked while they were in midair and it took the next ten days to get the family back in and we did get them back in. By then a tone had been set, a president refusing to be con trained by president ial protocol. You said on friday you would have a press conference. Thats delighted millions of his supporters who wanted him to disrupt, while millions of other americans were horrified. I like real news, not fake news, youre fake news. The media is fake. The president insisted on attacking facts not fiction. All i can say is its totally fake news, its fake. And not afraid to say untrue things. Obamacare covers very few people. It was the Biggest Electoral College win since Ronald Reagan. And tweets bogus information. This one from his first week alleged at least 3 million votes were illegal. There is zero proof of that. This one in march, accused the former president obama of a felony. Just found out obama had my wires tapped in trump tower, he typed. The Intelligence Community has said thats untrue. I have no information that supports those tweets. He name called. Many people found his tweets sometimes sexist. Such as this one from june attacking nbc anchor mika brzenzinski, he was bleeding badly from a facelift. Or this one from september, showing he knocked over his former opponent Hillary Clinton. In november, he retweeted this video from a far right wing video. These tweets caused tension with americas closest ally, britain. Im very clear that retweeting from britain first was the wrong thing to do. There is a problem with impulse control, i mean i think we all know that. At the end of his first year in office, following a very public discussion of his mental stability, the president tweeted, quote, throughout my life, my two greatest aspects have been mental stability and being, like, really smart. I went from very successful businessman to tv star to the president of the United States on my first try. I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius. Everyone here in washington, they light a match and set their hair on fire when he tweets out. But guys that really know him, we see a tweet like that and we laugh out loud and we know the point hes trying to make and hes trying to shake everybody up. They also say this presidency is about more than his tweets. Pointing to a new Supreme Court justice. So help me god. Military victories against isis, and a record high stock market. Assuming important facts are never covered. Why not cover more. There are of course accomplishments, and well look at them ahead. But theres also this. How hard is it to condemn nazis or the kkk . Its inspected by mercedesbenz factorytrained technicians. Or it isnt. Its backed by an unlimited mileage warranty, or it isnt. For those who never settle, its either mercedesbenz certified preowned, or it isnt. The mercedesbenz certified preowned sales event. Now through february 28th. Only at your authorized mercedesbenz dealer. Donald trump came to washington with three big goals for congress in his first year as president. To repeal and replace obamacare. Obamacare is a disaster. To overhaul the tax code. We want lower taxes, bigger paychecks. And to overhaul u. S. Infrastructure. Were going to get infrastructure built quickly. To do all that, he needed help from congress and a priority list. One thing that was important to him was tax reform. He didnt push that one first. He went with what he was urged to do by his chief of staff, Reince Priebus and some others in the white house wanted to do health care first. Repeal and replace obamacare. He pointed to americans who felt burdened by the imperfect program. Real people have come to the white house and told us their story, they had jobs, Wages Benefits they have lost or had them slimmed down. We are cattle ranchers. We cant afford our equipment if were paying these rates year after year after year. Were on it for five months, our pediatrician for our children wouldnt take it. The problem with repealing obamacare is that once a Government Program has been initiated, its almost impossible to take it away. Which meant that even some republicans were going to have a hard time buying into repeal and replace. I had two meetings with the president on health care. Basically told them three times i couldnt support the bill. What did he say . He said if i didnt support the bill, i was going to destroy the Republican Party, he was going to blame me. You personally. And he was going to take down tax reform. He said if we dont pass this bill in its current form we wont be able to get tax reform. I said thats right, when you lose, you lose. In march of 2017, when the house of representatives first planned to vote to repeal and replace obamacare, the Republican Party had too many charlie dents. We did not have quite the votes to replace this law. During the next effort to repeal and replace in may, there was 14 million americans who were going to lose their medicaid coverage because the president expanded medicaid. It passed the house. This is a real plan, this is a great plan. But it hit a snag in the senate. President trump tried to muscle the bill through, with some trademark arm twisting, such as this public teasing of nevada senator dean heller. He wants to remain a senator, doesnt he . As well as his typical twitter taunts. So important republican senators under leadership of senator majority leader mcconnell get halth care plan approved. After seven years of ocare disaster, must happen. It didnt. Measure not agreed to. With the ultimate bill on the table, it failed. With this dramatic thumbs down from republican senators john mccain. The repeal and replace of obamacare that President Trump promised would happen on day one was dead for the year. His supporters blamed congress. It seems to me that the congress failed the president on that one in terms of not having a package ready to go and yet they expected him to kind of push it and use the bully pulpit to get it delivered. So the president who doesnt like to lose tried to make a win. Congratulations to everybody. Signing an executive order cutting funds paid directly to Insurance Companies to help stabilize the market. And making it easier for people to buy outside the obamacare exchanges. Obamacare is virtually dead. At best you could say its in its final legs. Hardly true. Around 8. 8 million americans signed up for 2018 coverage, about 400,000 fewer than the year before. Another domestic issue the president put in his crosshairs, illegal immigration. The president had promised his base a crackdown. And he has delivered. I. C. E. Arrests are up 43 since 2016. You say power. Power immigrant power and the president has struggled with daca, deferred action for childhood arrivals, the plan that allows some 800,000 so called d. R. E. A. M. Ers brought here as children to work and study without fear of arrest. Were going to deal with daca with heart. The president was seemingly torn between his heart and his base. In september, the base won. It was unlawful and contrary to the laws passed by this institution. Mr. Trumps attorney general announced daca would die in march unless congress could find a compromise. A few days later were working on a plan for daca. The wall will come later. That is no longer his position. I really believe theyre going to come up with a solution to the daca problem, but any solution has to include the wall. Negotiations to save the program were under way in january in the oval office when President Trump made whats being called racial slurs. When you started to describe the immigration from african, thats what he used his vile and ville gar comments, calling the nations they come from shitholes. President trump disparaged haitian immigrants as well. He said haitians . Do we need more haitians . Were the comments racist, do you think . I think they were, yes. I think that they were unfortunate. We have to hold ourselves to a higher standard. Im not a racist. I am the least racist person you have ever interviewed. The president and two republican senators in the room denied the accusations. But it was hardly the first time in President Trumps first year when he had been accused of racism. In august, there had been the white supremacist march in charlottesville, virginia where a protester was run over and killed by a white supremacist. But before Heather Heyer had been killedstunningly President Trump condemned both sides. We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides. The president s failure to single out nazis, skin heads and clansmen for specific condemnation, shocked the world, including republicans. How hard is it to condemn nazis or the kkk . So, two days later, a change. Racism is evil. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs. Including the kkk. Neonazis, White Supremacists and other hate groups. But then the next day, another step backwards. But you also had people there were very fine people, on both sides. You had people in that group excuse me, excuse me, i saw the same pictures as you did. Dont blame both sides, they came to this city to spread their hate. The thought that if you cannot come down hard on them because you might alienate someone in the base, i think youve got to get a new base. Do you think that was what was motivating him . I think there was an element of that, he didnt want to offend some people that he had, i think, given quarter to at least. Hes the most nonracist person i have ever known, and anybody whos been with him over time can tell you that. Soon after charlottesville came huntsville, alabama. Where President Trump denounced football players, most of them africanamerican who had taken a knee during the National Anthem at nfl games to protest police brutality. Wouldnt you love to see one of these nfl owners when somebody disrespects our flag, to say get that son of a bitch off the field right now, out hes fired this has nothing to do with race, i have never said anything about race. The president s tweets and comments had nothing to do with the flag and everything to do with race. When the president refers to Colin Kaepernick in alabama as a son of the bword is racial code for the nword across america and in alabama. I would not even attempt to explain what hes thinking or why he does it. But if you take a sport thats making billions off of american viewership and saying its the heart of americans, should there be some base standard . I dont have the answer, but i think the fact that your viewers are thinking about it is a good thing. Coming up, a victory on capitol hill, squeezed in just under the wire. And later i told steve kolber, i thought i would last longer than a carton of milk. Ates our world and connects us to each other. With transitions® adaptive lenses® youll live the good light.
