rational way to get to the negotiating table. i don't think anyone in the c suite or even on wall street believes that we shouldn't be negotiating with china, that we shouldn't perhaps taking a tough stand, but is this the right way to get there? those are the kind of questions they're asking. this seems like a messy way to get to the negotiating table. it seems like a lot of bluster perhaps to reassure his faith and for political reasons rather than getting to the right result. that's the criticism right now. >> cristina alesci, monica mehta, thank you. president trump says he's prepared to send national guard to the border. critics say the president is trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist. -here comes the rain.
