president trump in front of a friendly group, in front of suffix county. police officers, state police, mostly on message, talking about the support he will give to them, talking about gang violence, something that has caused 17 deaths since the beginning of 2017 on long island and using it to support his immigrati immigration, and also comments briefly on the health care debacle last night. after the promises the president made on the campaign trail, the republicans in the senate could not get the skiny repeal through. there are his events on long island. senior political reporter, national political reporter,
it was done properly or done correctly or done honestly. he tried that here and is finding out the people he has around him certainly go out and do it if he says say this they go out an say that. but congress, the press, other sources that will look at him and verify what he has to say are coming out and saying no, you can t just do it. well let me ask you this, barbara, would you consider you had a positive or negative work experience with donald trump? i worked for him for a long time and over that period of time i had both positive and negative experiences. so then why didn t you support him? in this election? i didn t support him primarily because of his positions. especially in terms of immigrati immigration, abortion, his financial plans, and deregulating industries that i think need more regulation, i mean, to be honest, on every issue i disagreed with him.
following through with the idea of building a wall. that scurtailing of civil right people think he s doing, supporters saying they want to see more crackdowns on immigrati immigration, they feel like he s moving toward the promise. and then in the beltway, the idea he s saying he might be able to get health care threw and work on tax reform. the republicans seem frustrated. they understand we re marching toward a big goal and they have nothing to show for it in terms of bills and what they ve done to change the country. because you have a president that s been signing executive orders left and right and has been getting coverage of those executive orders, it seems as though outside of the beltway, it s seen as though he s made some big changes. in reality both his party and democrats understand the executive orders haven t had much of an impact. there s a lot of cosmetics.
