Is among those injured. And we begin in washington. Lawmakers have summoned at least 11 officials this week to discuss president Donald Trumps dealings with ukraine. But we have learned several of them are refusing to testify. These four men were set to appear on monday. But a source says they dont plan on showing up. Former National Security adviser john bolton has also been asked to testify. Several witnesses interviewed so far have said bolton raised concerns about mr. Trump withholding military aid to ukraine. Boltons lawyer has said his client would not appear unless he is subpoenaed. Well, as the impeachment inquiry heats up, we are getting a better idea of what americans think about the issue. Three new polls show about half support impeaching President Trump and removing him from office. All three polls were conducted between october 27th and october 30th. And despite the findings, President Trump remains defiant. He is what he told reporters when asked about those surveys. President , according to several recent polls, more americans want you to be impeached and removed from office. You are reading the wrong polls. Nbc, abc washington post. The cnn polls are fake. The fox polls have always been lousy. I tell them they ought to get themselves a new pollster. You look at the polls that came out this morning, people dont want anything to do with impeachment. Its a phony scam. Its a hoax. And the whistleblower should be revealed because the whistleblower gave false information. All right. Lets get more on all of this from jacob. He is an associate with the Foreign Policy thinktank lse ideas. He joins us now via skype. Good to have you with us. Good morning. So President Trump wants to expose the whistleblower. We heard it there because he thinks that person is making up false stories despite all the testimony we have already heard so far from the impeachment inquiry, and of course the transcript from the now infamous july 25th ukraine call backing up what the whistleblower has said. So how significant is it that a u. S. President wants to expose a whistleblower given what we know so far . I think its less significant with respect to what the whistleblower testified to than to a Chilling Effect affecting all federal civil servants. If the standard becomes that if you reveal information thats politically damaging to the president , the whistleblower protections enshrined in law will no longer be respected and no longer be valid that your identity can be made public, that you can face the sort of storm of Public Interest and probably from what we have seen a great deal of threatening commentary and sort of legal threats. I think thatll have a Chilling Effect on other federal employees who are in this witness and future administrations who witness potentially undesirable behavior and have again enshrined in law legal protections. If they arent followed through, then you are going to have people decide that its more important for themselves and their families to stay quiet than to come forward with what they know. And in addition to this President Trump isnt happy with the white house impeachment inquiry. Witness alexander vindman, he is calling him a nevertrumper. Does that amount to intimidation and witness tampering or a similar sort of thing is what we are seeing with the whistleblower . Yeah. Its i think all part of the same strategy too, aggressively attack and attempt to delegitimatize what the witnesses day. I dont think it changes how the context in which we should see vindmans testimony. We are going to see much more. The house is saying this week they are likely to release the full transcripts of the investigation, interviews that have been carried out behind closed doors so far. So well have a much better idea by the end of the week with what the witnesses said. But it is part and parcel of the idea that the president is using the powers of his office to try to stifle people from speaking out. And we just heard President Trump rejecting all those recent polls showing a divided country with about half of americas voters calling for the president s impeachment, or certainly supporting that and his removal. He calls those polls fake. Even the one from fox news. He says he has his own secret polling that show that people support him and dont want him impeached. What is your response to that . I dont think the president has earned the benefit of the doubt when he says that he has secret information. I am still waiting for him to come up with that secret information about Barack Obamas birthplace that he promised in 2012. I think after a certain amount of time we have to assume that the president says these things because, either because he believes there is actually some other poll that justifies his leaf in the true voice of the American People or because we understand that just seeing that will be taken by enough of the population as the truth that he can just muddy the waters. But i dont think, you know, given the amount of false, misleading or out of context information the president supplied over his entire public career, i dont think he is entitled to the benefit of the doubt in saying that there is some other public polling that will be released that somehow contradicts what we know from a very large number of very reputable pollsters. Many thanks to you for sharing your analysis and perspective. We appreciate it. Well, at the core of the u. S. Impeachment inquiry is the allegation President Trump suspended military aid to ukraine as a way to get dirt on one of his political rivals. Months ago the president put nearly 400 million on hold, money meant to help ukraine, a u. S. Ally in its battle with russianpacked separatists. Cnn sent Clarissa Ward to the front lines to see what the situation looks lying right now. And heres what she found. Reporter on the front line of ukraines war with russia, conditions are basic, and the enemy is near. This position just 600 yards from russianbacked separatists. Soldiers stand guard in dirt trenches, reminiscent of the first world war. This commander tells us one of his men was shot dead by a sniper ten days ago. He says ukraine needs all the help it can get. He is saying that when he heard the news that President Trump had frozen the military aid, he was unhappy because he says america is our most important, our strongest ally. Reporter that aid was released in september. But the temporary freeze left a chill. The nearest village used to be a popular seaside resort. Now there are no people left, just devastation. Even the church was hit. In war nothing is sacred. After five long years, the worlds attention has basically moved on from ukraine. But the war here is not over yet. And ukraine is still very much dependent on the support of the u. S. Ukrainian marine alexander shows us what is left of the local school that was destroyed by Russian Artillery at the start of the war. It will be ten years before people can come back he says. All this territory needs to be demined. But that process cant even begin until the fighting stops. Our guide has asked us now to put on our helmets because apparently the separatists have actually been using drones to drop coordinates on some of the soldiers here. Alexander says its time to move on. Concerned we may have been spotted. We push further north to the mining down, once under the control of russianbacked separatists, was taken back by the Ukrainian Army in a bitter battle in july 2014. You can now see the flames shooting out of the top of the building. Theresa watched it all from her home. The florida native runs a Christian Charity called his kids too and has lived here for many years. We were shelled for days on end. I would go to sleep and id literally just lay there and just say god protect me. Reporter during the worst of the fighting she would bring homecooked meals to ukrainian troops on the front lines. So when you start knowing those people and putting a name and a face together, i mean, i have friends that were killed. I am not going to minimize this. Reporter were you aware of the fact that the white house had temporarily frozen military aid to ukraine . And what was your reaction . Probably frustration because as far as im concerned we are in a david and goliath situation, that we are outmanned and outgunned. Reporter that hasnt slowed filman down. Her days are a blur of activity, distributing food to the needy and displaced. Across this country more than a Million People have been forced from their homes. Like this pensioner. She was hit by shrapnel while picking tomatoes in her garden. She fled and has been living in this care home ever since. Translator what can i do . I can never go back she says. Its five years since we left. Like so many year she no longer cares who wins this war. So you just want peace . You just want an end to the war . Ukraines president is trying to make that happen. But peace is best negotiated from a position of strength. And having the u. S. As an ally is key. In the west of the country familiar from the front lines, Ukrainian Forces carry out military exercises under the watchful eye of their american trainer. They will be engaging targets and shooting. Reporter captain Matthew Chapman has been working with these people for two months. Can i ask what you thought when military aid had been frozen to ukraine . Personally, i dont Pay Attention to politics. We are solely focused on the mission at hand. Reporter and it didnt create an awkward atmosphere . It has not even come up in conversation with our ocs. Reporter his ukrainian counterpart agrees. You know, i dont like to speak about politics. My mission and my main role is to protect my land, my country. Thats all i want, and its all i know for myself. Reporter do you believe that america is an ally ukraine can rely on . Completely yes. Reporter privately some ukrainian soldiers admit to feeling uneasy. They fear that the white houses fickle behavior may strengthen russias position. But all agree that with or without americas help, they have no choice but to continue this fight. Clarissa ward, cnn, ukraine. And a little later i will be speaking to a russia expert who says u. S. Voters are starting to see the shadow of the kremlin looming over President Trumps dealings with ukraine. Back in just a moment.

A. The video shot directly over the huge flames and plumes of smoke. And in the face of danger, crews are making good headway. This fire is now 70 contained after burning through 38 square kilometers since it began on thursday. That is great progress. Well, activists say three iraqi protesters were killed sunday as dozens of people tried to make into the iranian consulate in karbala. They tried to bridge the buildings fence and Iraqi Security forces opened fire to disperse the crowd. We are told at least 60 people were wounded. Meanwhile, iraqs Prime Minister is begging antigovernment protesters to return to normal life saying the unrest is costing the economy billions. Across the country angry iraqis are demanding the government step down saying its corrupt and there are not enough jobs or basic services. Well, antigovernment demonstrations are also sweeping through lebanon. Thousands flooded the streets sunday in the largest protest since the Prime Minister resigned. Many are calling for the removal of the president. But the president still has supporters. They held a big rally and say he is the only one who can bring reform. Well, police in hong kong say four people were injured sunday by a man who went on a knife rampage. It happened outside a mall where prodemocracy protesters had gathered earlier. He joins us now live. Good to see you will. So what more are you learning about the attacker and his motivation . Reporter well, we know that the attack her himself was seriously injured in this incident which happened at a crowded shopping mall, one of a number of malls across hong kong that protesters targeted on sunday going after businesses that they interest probeijing including this one. You can look, protesters absoluteliy smashed through the entire front doors here. They have been trying to put up a barricade. But businesses across this country to be considered probeijing has been hit. The video shows him clearly holding onto the side of his head. A piece of his ear on the floor, apparently bitten off according to news reports. And, in fact, police are holding a press conference right now to give us more information about the attacker, the suspected attacker about his condition. At least four people injured. However, journalists inside that press conference, some of them have put antigovernment slogans on their helmets. Now the press conference has stopped. So once again, rosemary, just yet another example of the division that is sweeping across this city. Yeah, absolutely. And of course crowds were smaller over the weekend. But there was still a significant amount of disruption. Talk to us about that and why we are seeing that. Reporter yeah. You know on, saturday there were the largest protests. And its safe to say that there were thousands of people out on the streets but not tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands or perhaps even over a million like we saw in june. The crowds are indeed smaller. And because of those protests and then the violent confrontations that happened for hours afterwards, transportation was shut down in a number of areas both here in Hong Kong Island and across victoria harbor. So it just goes to show that those who were still out demonstrating and particularly these frontliners who were continuing to hurl bricks and petrol bombs, they know how to disrupt the city. They know how to shut things down. So here on week 22, it really does seem at this stage very difficult to see a resolution to this given just how far apart the two sides are. And this division inside the city between people who support beijing and people who are against beijing is getting more nasty. That knife attack, a man getting his ear bitten off. And weve seen activists beaten with metal rods. And also attacks towards people who support Mainland China as well. That is a real concern for so many. Will ripley will bring us up to date. A thick blanket of toxic smog is causing travel chaos in the indian capital of new delhi. Dozens were diverted from the citys International Airport on sunday due to poor visibility. New delhis chief minister says conditions are unbearable as air quality reached hazardous levels. The u. S. Environmental Protection Agency is planning to relax rules on toxic waste from coal power plants. They will scale back obamaera regulations that affect the disposal of coal ash. Thats a waste product which can contain mercury, arsenic and other dangerous metals. The epa website says the rules were created after waste spills caused widespread economic environmental damage. But they say the regulations are unaffordable and they have found a champion in President Trump. Well, we are a year away from the u. S. President ial election in 2020. U. S. Voters could choose to give Republican Donald Trump another four years in office or replace him with a democrat. Three new National Polls are shedding light on who might end up as the democratic nominee. All three show former Vice President joe biden and Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders at the top of the pack. Biden leads the polling with Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders trailing behind. Well, on sunday Elizabeth Warren took aim at democratic rivals who criticized her medicare for all plan. Reporter political pundits, even people in our own party dont want to admit it. They think that running a vague campaign that nibbles around the edges is somehow safe. But if the best democrats can offer is business as usual after donald trump, democrats will lose. And she made those comments during a townhall in iowa. Reporter senator Elizabeth Warren spent much of her time in iowa this weekend at the lnj celebration where lots of democrats came together and really hosting some townhalls. This is an area that right now she is topping the poll. The latest poll shows her as the top candidate in iowa but talking about her recently released plan for how to Fund Medicare for all. She stayed consistent on three points. She was quick to make the pitch directly to the middle class saying, look, i am not here to raise taxes to the middle class. In fact, i will put 11 trillion right back in your pockets. But thats something that her opponents have criticized saying thats not feasible, not okay. Vice President Biden saying it is mathematic gymnastics. Now she sort of flipped the script saying that she wants to know where her opponents are with their plans for funding their health care proposals. Then this was interesting. Sunday morning senator sanders criticized her plan saying that his was proper progressive and that hers could hurt job creation to which she responded saying bernie and i have the same idea and the same goals. We just have different ways of getting there. How long she will plan to stay aligned with him. Well have to wait and see. In iowa i am leyla santiago, cnn. Pete buttigieg is among the democrat candidates criticizing warrens plan calling her math controversial. The south bend, indiana, mayor is on a bus tour chriscrossing the state of iowa. Hes been pushing warren to release her plan of how she would pay for it. He says he hasnt had a chance to dig through all the numbers recently put out by her, but he is still voicing concerns. I think the Biggest Issue im hearing from voters, even above how are we going to pay for this is am i going to lose my private plan. And thats something that i just havent heard well, we have heard an answer. But i think its the wrong answer, which is to kick people off their private plans. So even as the economists argue over the numbers and the math, the other core concern has not been answered. And if you are watching internationally, thank you so much for being with us.

This is cnn, the most trusted name in news. Washington is bracing for a big week in the impeachment inquiry into president donald trump. Lawmakers have scheduled interviews with 11 current and former u. S. Officials to discuss mr. Trumps dealings with ukraine. But we have learned several of those set to appear are refusing to testify. Former National Security adviser john bolton has also been asked to appear. But boltons lawyer said his client would not show up unless he is subpoenaed. Well, at the heart of the impeachment inquiry, the allegation that President Trump withheld military aid to ukraine to get dirt on a political rival. Ukraine is extremely dependent on that aid as its been locked in a bloody fiveyear battle with russianbacked separatists. White house senior counselor Kellyanne Conway told yovanovitch she stands by the administrations response that there was no quid pro quo between mr. Trump and the ukrainian president. You feel totally confident that at the heart of this there was no i feel confident about the fact that ukraine has that aid and is using it right now that its because of this president that they have it. Kellyanne you wont say yes or no. Quid pro quo, yes or no. I just said to you i dont know whether aid was being held up. I know there were two senators, a democrat and republican who called over from ukraine and inquired about the aid. But we are trying to impeach a president now. Why . Because nothing in in this conversation so far resonates throughout the country. Joining me now to talk more about this is mitchell, professor of russian and east European Studies at the university of pennsylvania. Thank you so much for being with us. Absolutely. Happy to be here. So lets start by looking at just how dependent ukraine is on support from the United States and how far President Trump is willing to go to help kiev, do you think, given he has recently made it clear he wants germany and france along with other e. U. Nations to do more to share the load. Absolutely. I think, you know, i think thats a little bit of a canard in the sense that britain and france and germany, the European Union have done an incredible amount to support ukraine. But primarily economically. Primarily with economic aid, governments aid and soft powers. I believe that what President Trump was referring to was specifically military aid. And there the United States has taken up a bigger burden. But overall, the European Countries are supporting ukraine to a much greater extent than the United States. Interesting. And how important is ukraine to the u. S. Now, of course, and how much has that changed under trumps presidency . Well, ukraine is important in European Affairs right now because its at war. Its at war with russia. Its been attacked in 2014 and has lost 13,000 people in the conflict. And i think its super important essentially because theres been a principle thats guided European Affairs which is that countries shouldnt attack one another. And russias unprovoked attack on ukraine was a huge violation of European Security norms, something thats really sent reverberations across the european continent. And thats why ukraine is primarily important to the u. S. Its been very important for the United States, which, as you may remember, has fought two wars in europe in the previous century, has been drawn into european wars to prevent conflict in europe. And therefore to support ukraine in its struggle, legitimate struggle against the invasion and aggress its had from russia. And thats certainly how the United States felt in the past. But what about now under President Trump . He doesnt feel the same way about ukraine, does he . Hes been talked into believing its not of the significance that the United States has recognized it to be in the past. I think for trump, its pretty clear that everything is about trump, right . So the United States now has two separate foreign policies. It has the traditional Foreign Policy of the Foreign Policy establishment. Thats supported both by the democrats and the republicans in congress, which is to support ukraine for the reasons that i just mentioned. And then in addition we have the trump Foreign Policy run out of the white house or maybe with some friends of President Trump, his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, which is essentially about what can you do for us, what can you do for our Election Campaign . And that seems to have been the top priority for trump in ukraine is to obtain assistance from the Ukrainian Government to smear his likely political rival in the 2020 election. And how do you convince the American Public that they should care about what happens to ukraine . Its pretty interesting that democrat and Republican Congress men who are both who get elected very frequently every two years are very solid on support for ukraine. And i think that, you know, its truthfully in the United States a lot of people dont necessarily vote on Foreign Policy issues. Its probably pretty secondary concern for a lot of people. But i do think its very possible in the United States to talk to people about European Security and to talk about the importance of this particular conflict. And with regard to the and i think also theres a really widespread awareness of russian intervention in the 2016 election. So people are listening to this or understanding this or certainly learning a lot more about ukraine. Its become a central aspect of the impeachment inquiry. So i do think that people are looking and listening about this topic. And they understand the sort of longstanding u. S. Commitment to European Security. All right. Mitchell, thank you so much for joining us. We do appreciate it. Absolutely. Any time. Thank you. Well, one of the central figures in the impeachment inquiry has been President Trumps personal attorney Rudy Giuliani. Cnns tom foreman looks at the role giuliani has played right from the start. Reporter the president of the United States says i didnt. Truth is a truth . Do you realize this is going to become a bad meme. Dont do this to me. Reporter in the swirling storm of the ukraine scandal, as much or more than the president. Shut up, moron. Reporter Rudy Giuliani, his lawyer, is at the center. You are just repeating oh, but youre not spinning anything . Im not spinning a damn thing. Reporter calling him a shadow secretary of state. Even his witnesses have told congress it was giuliani who set up backdoor communications with the ukrainians bypassing the state department. Giuliani who trump wanted the ukrainians to talk to when the president requested an investigation of Democrat Joe Biden saying in that infamous phone call if you could speak to him, that would be great. And giuliani who continues to claim with zero proof that russian interference to help Republican Donald Trump was not the problem in the last election, but meddling to help the democrats was. It was actually real collusion that involved the ukrainians. But the fbi did everything they could to keep this information away. Hes been a great crime fighter. Reporter the president s defense of giuliani has been at times strong, at times tepid as giulianis behavior has careened into the surreal. For example this week when he attacked democrats into the probe into trumps actions that trump did ask for a ukrainian investigation or when he apparently buttdialed an nbc reporter who overheard him complaining about biden and looking for cash. The problem is we need some money. Are you concerned that Rudy Giuliani is going to be indicted in all of this . I hope not. Reporter sovietborn American Business men were charged with circumventing u. S. Election laws. Giuliani has been showing up in the media to defend the president less often. Sources say hes been shopping for an attorney of his own. Laura, this stinks. Reporter its impossible to imagine that giuliani will remain out of the spotlight because, like trump, he clearly enjoys attention. But this kind of attention, maybe not so much. Tom foreman, cnn, washington. It was Donald TrumpsSignature Campaign promise to build a wall along the border with mexico. Well, now the structure is being tested. Why trump is shrugging off a new report saying its being breached. Back with that in just a moment. Its time for the veterans day sale on the sleep number 360 smart bed. Can it help keep us asleep . Yes, it senses your movements and automatically adjusts to keep you both comfortable. And now, save 1,000 on the new sleep number 360 special Edition Smart bed, now only 1,799. Only for a limited time. The amount of Student Loan Debt i have, im embarrassed to even say. We just decided we didnt want debt any longer. I didnt realize how easy investing could be. Im Picking Companies that i believe in. I think sofi money is amazing. Thank you sofi. Sofi thank you, we love you. To President Trumps border wall now. And is served as a central pillar of his 2016 campaign. Now its fueling his reelection bid, touted by the white house as impenetrable. But according to a New Washington post report, its been breached on a regular basis. They say smugglers have been cutting holes through the new section of the wall large enough for adults and drugs to fit through. They are using a simple and relatively inexpensive household tool known as a reciprocating saw. The president was asked about this on saturday. Take a listen. I havent heard that. We have a very powerful wall. But no matter how powerful, you can cut through anything. Border agents told the post that due to the height of the slats, its easy to push the steel to the side and pass through. Agents say despite fixing the damaged areas, smugglers often return to the same spot since the metal and concrete have already been weakened. So lets talk more about this with david kyle. He is a professor of sociology at the university of california davis and an expert on human smuggling and trafficking. Thanks for joining us. My pleasure. So this post article suggests the border wall offers very little resistance and deterrence to these smugglers. So what does that say about President Trumps biggest 2016 electoral promise and now his new commitment to build that wall . Well, first we have to recognize that walls do nothing by themselves. They are merely a useful barrier to slow down invaders. But of course this isnt a real wall, and these arent real invaders. And we just heard President Trump admit himself no matter how powerful a barrier, you can cut through anything. Doesnt that suggest the wall might not be a worthwhile investment . Not only does it suggest that. I think that when we go down in medieval strategy, at least we need to go all the way. The medieval fortresses around major cities in europe required hundreds of thousands of personnel to man them, to defend them. Theyre only useful barriers to slow them down. We dont really have a functioning wall. We have a fence that can easily be cut through. Its only creating more chaos on the border, not less. So despite President Trumps efforts to strengthen this current barrier along the u. S. mexico border, Law Enforcement officials involved in security say the smugglers and cartels continue to find new ways to sneak through. So what is the answer to this . And at what point will President Trump need to admit to the u. S. Public that the border wall or certainly the one he proposes is not the answer. Can you see that day coming . Well, i think those are two questions. One is when will the American People realize, and i believe that many people, if not most people, realize that this is not really a wall. Its metal fencing. And it was only a matter of time that the creativity of a wide range of people would come under play for a hundred dollars you get a reciprocating saw at home depot and cut through it. But there are also many, many ways to go through it. A separate question is will trump admit it or change strategy. Thats not my area. But that certainly doesnt look like itll be the case. So you mentioned of course in medieval times. And humans have been trying to stop each other crossing borders for a very, very long time. What is the solution here in 2019 coming into 2020 . I think that having less chaos on the border, most migrants today, which is actually putting many smugglers out of business, are not trying to evade Law Enforcement. They are merely trying to get over, under, through the fence, raise their hand, and then ask for asylum. And they are trusting the American People to do the right thing. We are a nation of laws. They do have a right to claim asylum. They trust us more than they trust many of their own governments and cartels. And instead what we are getting at the border is chaos and possibly something that we will have to be dealing with for years. But in terms of dealing with the migration crisis, we need a legal pathway or at least processing it. The wall only create a false illusion of security on the one hand, then more chaos on the other. David kyle, we thank you so very much for joining us. Appreciate it. My pleasure.

Reporter after a shooting left five people dead in california. Its ceo announced the change on twitter saying the company will redouble its effort to combat unauthorized parties. Cnn has more. Rrjts a Halloween House Party turns deadly. Five people shot and killed at this airbnb rental. Orinda is a very small, very safe, very familyoriented community. It is not accustomed to violence. Reporter the shooting is still under investigation. But airbnb is banning party houses at its rental properties to prevent similar incidents from taking place. The companys ceo tweeting we must do better and we will. This is unacceptable. In additional tweets, it says it is implementing a more stringent guest Screening Program and anyone found in violation of the upgrade policies could be removed. Authorities say the Halloween Party in orinda, california, was advertised on social media. And more than 100 people showed up. The deadly shooting took place thursday night in an airbnb rental that does not allow parties. And still to come, peculiar punctuation.

High winds and heavy rain have now pushed the boat closer to the falls on the canadian side. The vessel became stuck when it dislodged from its tug boat in the final months of the first world war. Well, who knew three little punctuation marks would become such a big deal in the impeachment inquiry into donald trump. Reporter we look at the president s love aware with dot, dot, dot. Reporter President Trump is forever saying that ukrainian phone call summary was. Word for word, comma for comma. Reporter forget commas. Now people are connecting the dot, dot, dot. And i wonder, right . I kept saying dot, dot, dot. Reporter trulily known as an ellipse yes. Because in legal documents that means there is something left out. Reporter there was so much dot, dot, dotting on the view that Meghan Mccain got annoyed. We got it. And they got it too. Reporter but, oh, the irony. The ellipses comes back to haunt a president who was besotted by dots. He will soon be dot, dot, dot, dot, dot. Reporter President Trumps tweets are so dotty, they read like morse code. [ beeping ] the president might begin a tweet with a random seven dots. He shared tweets with as many as 23. Occasionally he mixes a stray comma in with them or combines his dots with a typo. Colbert once did an obit where the tweets expanded to 280 characters. Dot, dot. [ laughter ] adding dot, dot, dot. Reporter but announcing the death of trumps dots was premature. The dots are back. I missed you little guys. You are the only part of trumps tweets that arent lies. Reporter the other day the president actually tweeted nothing but dot, dot, dot, dot provoking responses like anyone speak dots . And another coded message to putin. Remember the time President Trump stared directly at a Solar Eclipse . No wonder he is seeing dots everywhere. Might as well blame all those ellipses on eclipses. This is not dot, dot, dot time. Its not, not, not. Thats enough to make you dotty, isnt it . Thank you so much for watching cnn newsroom. Im rosemary church. Remember to connect with me any time on twitter. Early start is next.
