Lt few days of his holiday vacation at his maralago florida. On friday he invited coast guard members to a day of golf. This morning were learning about how the interview came to be. Kelly oconnedonnell is traveli with the president. Good morning. Reporter good morning, sheinelle. As you point out, the president spending the final few days of this year in a cooler than normal florida and he opened up about some of the hot button issues of the day. While weve seen the president take lots of criticism for how much time he spends at his golf courses, at least for one day he tried to make that game a sign of good will. After days enjoying december sun on his own golf course, friday the president played host to about 75 members of the u. S. Coast guard providing lunch and a tee time. You can have a little tournament and determine who the best player is. Maybe its the boss. Reporter an outing inspired during a thanksgiving day visit with florida based guardsmen. The president had already come out swinging in an interview with the New York Times. While he cried the russia investigation as phoney and made him look bad, i think i will be treated fairly adding ive stayed uninvolved. An opinion on m by trump friend chris ruddy. This is a man that led the fbi after 9 11, did a remarkable job. I think hes been upset with the overall thrust of these investigations. Ruddy was dining at maralago with the New York Times reporter near the president who agreed an improm impromptu interview. Mr. Trump lashed out at chinese officials for defying north korean sanctions saying oil is going in to north korea. The president admitted ive been soft on china, on trade seeking their help. Using his social media fire hose, the president also linked extending Legal Protection for young people brought to the u. S. As children with his own wish list. There can be no daca without the separately needed wall and ending chain migration. And in that wide ranging interview with the New York Times the president also talked about the media and said he would predict his own reelection in 2020 saying they would let me win because he says the media requires his presence for rating and subscriptions. Ill leave it there. As we mentioned, it is rare for a president to give an unexpected interview to any reporter without aids knowing or present. How did it happen . Ashley parker is a reporter for the washington post. She has been covering the Trump White House all year. She is also down in West Palm Beach florida this morning. Good to see you. Reporter good to see you. Lets pick up reporter the way it happened go ahead, ashley. Reporter the way it happened basically was chris ruddy, this conservative media mogul invited a New York Times reporter to trumps private golf club. He strategically steeated the t of them near the president s table. When the president walked in, he sort of introduced the New York Times reporter to the president and sort of enabled this 30 minute sit down with no aids that happened. So in the past few days as you know the president has tweeted about immigration reform, the post office, amazon, climb change, his own approval ratings. Based on those tweets, can we get a sense of what the president might focus on in 2018 . Reporter absolutely. Its a window in two ways. Some of the issues like immigration, finding a solution for d. R. E. A. M. Ers is one of the key issues that the president and members of congress will be facing. In another sense the fact that the president s tweeting tells us hes going to continue that. Hes going to sort of tell readers and voters exactly whats on his mind, when hes thinking it, whats bothering him and thats not going to stop. Lets pull back. Youve been closely reporting on the president for a while. The white house is a steep learning curve. Do you have a sense of what hes learned over the past year and maybe if hell do anything different moving forward . Reporter thats a great question. The president came in to office thinking that role might be a bit more like a ceo, a boss or a dictator, that what he said would happen. Hes learned he has to work with members of congress. At the same time he came into office a 70yearold man set in his ways, his beliefs and i think in many ways hes going to stay exactly the same. I caught your piece in the post this morning. Tell us more about some of the staff reshuffling that we can come to expect out of this white house. Reporter absolutely. Heading into 2018 its going to be a tough landscape for congressional republicans. One real concern that people close to the president have is his political shop. You have them working to try to bring in a political heavyweight who can kind of help the president oversee 2018. Ashley bringing in the new year there in west palm. Thank you.
