about this? we are safe and secure and now working on an entry and exit system. laura:no wonder. in germany in 2016 the crime rate among refugees skyrocketed more than 50%. according to the telegraph, migrants committed with a 175,000 suspected crimes in germany. suddenly, president trump law lawn order approach of the border is looking good, in scented? they are still upset for the dismissal of the climate change dogma as the french president today or bristle if his decision to renegotiate nafta or stand up to cheating with an election will property by china and other nations. he is, undoubtedly, shaking of the world order and reshaping the global debate in a very positive way. it might not make him any friends at davos, trump s america 1st position is revising
the president has the constitutional authority to fire anybody and the executive branch and the supreme court has bestowed that but would have been very unwise, politically, and would have sounded like an admission of some kind of guilt. he is so much better off rolling his current lawyer s advice, as well, which says be nice to mueller and see of nothing to hide and be willing to sit down and be interviewed by him under oath and have nothing to lose when you do it under all. respond to the questions and try to wrap up the inquiry. that is what he said yesterday when he left for davos, i am fine sitting down under zero and would have been a ridiculous idea and would not have fired comey when he did. i agree. laura: a huge mistake. scott, i want to go with you
and that s certainly the case now with members of congress and sort of these outside friends and confidantes who under general keke kelly s watch are having trouble reaching the president. the first six months or so it was confusing but instead of wausking into the oval office, they d walk outside, get in front of the tv camera and say something. under general kelly, within the west wing, that has stopped a little bit and now if you are a white house staffer, at least to get a message to the president is to go through general kelly. on the one stand, the president likes that discipline. he said it gives him time to think. on the other hand, this is a very undisciplined man at times and he chafes at that newfound structure that kelly has brought. john kelly was not with the president at davos, at the world economic forum. that spufueled a lot of this speculation.
