Thats even nice. You think thats easy . Its time to shake the rust off americares fo ignpolicy. Reporter a president who told the country during the Campaign Foreign policy was easy, confronted nuclear challenges in north korea, continued russian aggression in ukraine and one horror, a sarin gas attack on civilians in syria. That crosses many, many lines, beyond a red line. Reporter the president ordered a tomahawk missile strike on the Syrian Air Base where the chemical attack was launched, marking a break from his America First isolationist philosophy. It is in this vital, National Security interest of the United States to prevent and deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons. Reporter that announcement came at the winter white house, maralago, where the president has spent at sizable taxpayer expense. Which brings us to some of the unfulfilled promises made by candidate trump, like the promise to build a wall on the u. S. mexico border. And who is going to pay for the wall . Mexico who . Mexico. You Better Believe it. Reporter President Trump has not asked mexico for a penny. When he asked republicans in congress, they declined. As for health care. I am also calling on this congress to repeal and replace obamacare. Reporter mr. Trump ordered a house vote, but the bill collapsed, leaving him to wait for another day. The president took office with recordlow Approval Ratings and has finished his first 100 days in the same place, through the chaos, the infighting and the setbacks. Mr. Trumps supporters remain enthusiastic, even as they and the rest of america comes next. When we return, John Dickerson sits down with President Trump at the white house.

John dickerson was invited into the white house this weekend for a wideranging interview with President Trump. The sitdown came on mr. Trumps 100th day in office. Reporter i want to ask you a question about the presidency. George w. Bush said this. He said you think one thing going in. And then the pressures of the job or the realities of the world are different than you thought. Do you agree . I think i can agree. I love doing it. Im thoroughly enjoying it. Its always a challenge, like life itself is a challenge. But its something that i really love, and i think ive done a very good job at it. You said in aint view with reuters that you thought it would be easier, why . Its a tough job, but ive had a ive had things that were tougher. Although ill let you know that better at the end of eight years, perhaps eight years, hopefully eight years, but ill let you know later on. I think weve done very well with foreign policy. I think weve done very, very well with relationships with other leaders. I think were doing great on trade deals. Its set and were doing well. Our countrys being outtraded at every single point. Were losing tremendous amounts of money on trade. And actually, ive been very consistent. You know, its very funny when the fake media goes out which we call the Mainstream Media, which sometimes is you. You mean me personally . I call your show deface the nation. But sometimes your show is not exact lay correc exactly correct. But i called china a currency manipulator early on. And then they stopped. Its not going down anymore, their currency. But that had been true during the campaign. No, not true to the extent that were talking about. But much more important than that as to when. It did stop. I was talking about it during the campaign, and i would say i was the one who got them to stop. You were the one who got china to stop . I talked about during the campaign they were doing it before. Theres no question. They were absolute currency manipulators manipulators before, but somebody said oh, you didnt call them a currency manipulator. I believe that president xi is working to try and resolve a very big problem for china also. And thats north korea. Can you imagine if i said, hey, by the way, how are you doing with north korea, also, were going to announce that youre a currency manipulator tomorrow. So the Mainstream Media never talks about that. They never say that. Its just one of many things, john. Youre a negotiator. If you need something from you with north korea, doesnt that send a message to china, were not going to bug you about human rights, about intellectual prortd. Were not going to put too much heat on you. Arent you breaking one of your own negotiating rules . No, i think frankly, maybe north korea is more important than trade. Trade is very important. But massive warfare with millions, potentially millions of people being killed . That, as we would say, trumps trade. Let me ask you you understand what im saying, and if i can use trade as a method to get china, because i happen to think that china does have reasonably good powers over, over north korea. Now maybe not, you know, ultimate, but pretty good powers. Now if china can help us with north korea and can solve their problem, thats worth making not as good a trade deal for the United States, excuse me, right . What do you know now on day 100 that you wish you knew on day one of the well, one of the things ive learned is how dishonest the media is, really. Ive done things that i think are very good. Ive so ive done, ive set great foundations with foreign leaders. We have, nafta, you know, i was going to terminate it. But i got a very nice call from a man i like, the president of mexico. I got a very nice call from justin trudeau, the Prime Minister of canada, and they said, please, would you, rather than terminating nafta, i was all set to do it. As a matter of fact i was going to do it today. As i was sitting here i was going to have to delay you. I was going to terminate nafta, but they called up, and they said would you negotiate . And i said yes, i will negotiate. Thats all youve learned about the media. You knew from the campaign about the media. The media didnt cover it that way. You look at my statements. I said if im not able to renegotiate nafta, i will irminate nafta. Now, if im not able to renegotiate nafta, we will terminate nafta. Lets step back a minute. President s have to learn to adapt. Every president comes into the job and its different and they have to adapt. Youve learned Something Else, surely than that the media is dishonest. It was one of my disappointments. All president s have to adapt and change. I think things tend to go an a little slower than youd like them to go. Why . Its just a system. A very, very bureaucratic system. I think the rules in congress and in particular the rules in the senate are unbelievably archaic. And slowmoving. And in many cases, unfair. In many cases, youre forced to make deals that are not the deal youd make, youd make a much different kind of a deal, youre forced into situations that you hate to be forced into. I also learned and this is very sad, because we have a country that we have to take care of. Th obstructionist. Chuck schumer has turned out to be a bad leader. Hes a bad leader for the country, and the democrats are extremely obstructionist. All they do is on trukt, all they do is delay, even our Supreme Court justice, as you know who i think is going to be outstanding, justice gorsuch. I think that it was disgraceful the way they handled that, but, you know, i still have people, im waiting for them to be approved. Our chief trade negotiator. We cant get these people through. They are obstructists, and you know what thats hurting . Thats hurting the country. Let me ask you about your tax returns. When your treasury secretary was asked if you were going to release them, mr. Mnuchin says the president has no intention. Hes never asked me about it. I said number one, im under audit. Right now im under audit. After the audit is complete, its a routine audit. But i have a very big tax return. U my tax return is probably higher than that from the floor. When you look at other peoples tax return, even other wealthy people, its this high. My tax return is this high. Im under ryu tooutine audit. I have been under audit almost like since i became famous, okay . Not just political. I have friends who are wealthy people. Theyve never been audited. He thi i think its very unfair. You said were you under audit and that was about 14 months ago. When do you think this may happen . I think its pretty routine, to be honest with you. Then ill make a decision. A member of congress suggest thad a condition for getting tax reform would be releasing your tax returns, what do you think about that . I dont know who did that. I dont care who did that. These are the people, the great obstructionists. Look where the democrats have agded up. Going. Now they dont have the presidency. They dont have the house. They dont have the senate. And schumers going around making a fool out of himself. Garden party for her birthday. A fabulous so i mowed the lawn, put up all the decorations. I thought i got everything.

We asked four people with very different lives and political backgrounds to write letters with all of us. Dear President Trump. My name is steven. Dear mr. President , my name is haley missions cook. I live in ohio, and i did not vote for you in the election. I grew up in a small, bluecolor community, most of whom you appealed to in your campaign. Even though i wasnt drawn into your rhetoric, i would like to ask on behalf of all those who were, why havent any of your political promises been fulfilled in your first 100 days as president. Im a businessman and an activist with the Georgia Republican party, and i voted for you. I Donald John Trump do solemnly swear. I still believe, at the top of my list during the 2016 election was the need for a candidate who would disrupt the status quo. Judging by the number of political pundits and heads of state judging would say we woke people up. Dealing with issues in syria, afghanistan and north korea, you have used and shown Necessary Force and in doing so, you have shown the world that the United States now has a real commander in chief. I completely agree with the action you took to show the Syrian Government that the United States will not sit idly by why they torture and kill innocent people. It does make a person wonder, though. If you truly cared about the suffering of syrian children, why have you banned them from the safety of our country . Dear President Trump, im an attorney from new york, and if i could vote, i would now vote for you. You say you had a great hear and you wouldnt deport dreamers like me, yet, you have a deportation force. You have deported criminals living here illegal lay. Aga again you have shown our country and the w first. I have children that are afraid to go to school. Even some u. S. Born latinos feel they have to carry their american passport just in case they come in contact with immigration. My 9yearold son luke had a vision, but his vision was only matched by his occasional distress about his state as an american in the future. Your attention is needed where englishspeaking students have subject time curtail bid the reality that many of their classmates cannot understand classes taught in english. We do embrace legal immigration, but not at the expense of academic progress. As an educator, im very concerned about your appointment of betsy devos of secretary of education. I was asking to clarify. As a teacher in a lowincome district, i am very worry thad free and reduced lunches will be i t. Through trash cans looking for something to eat. My concern was the proposed health care reform. Were going to be living with obamacare for the foreseeable future. As a young entrepreneur and as someone who has specialized needs due to brain surgery eight years ago, the current coast of health care is extremely unaffordable for myself and other americans. Being the president is about trust many with all your proven lies, how can you expect to be trusted . I know that you have faced a tremendous amount of opposition from people and media outlets. My advice to you, for whatever its worth, stay humble, mr. President , even in the face of opposition. I want you to succeed, but only if you bring out the best of this nation, not the worst. I hope at the end of your four years i can be proud of what you achieved and worked towards. Your first 100 days has been a reshaping of american vision, and we thank you for it. Were now more interested in the engine of the flam boyance of the driver.
