we are going to make our country stronger than ever before. we are not ever going to apologize to other countries for our great success or our great country. we turned around, we are respected again. before i came in it looked like we were going to war with north korea. relationships getting better and better and hostages back and nuclear testing and no testing of missiles and rockets, we are doing well. we believe no american should be left behind. the president heading to springfield where he will hold another make america great again rally. and i for an eye, a 242, the
new jersey but also boarding air force one apparently on the way to the president s rally in in ohio. you recall earlier in year in february she testified before congress she told white lies on behalf of president trump. one day later she announced her resignation. within a month she left the white house. it s surprising to see her on the landscape again. but we know that president trump occasionally even officials that have left his campaign or left the administration he often keeps in contact with them. corey lewandowski is another example. we ll see if hope appears on stage tonight. i find it interesting because i i remember a few weeks ago the president hinted at maybe she wants to come back to the white house. perhaps more to that. thank you, as you continue to cover ohio where the president will be speaking in a couple of hours with the back drop of the drama around lebron james and the first lady s public opposition to her husband s tweet coming hours before that rally in ohio
i think of conor lamb, in pennsylvania. . white house aides tell us that president trump is doing more rally. the third in this week in three states. they believe it lifts his mood and provides distraction from the russia investigation. do you think that s true. i think this is absolutely about playing the greatest hits. what we should expect is lots of crooked hillary, fake news media, trump is besieged and persecuted by the russia hoax. black athletes are unamerican. all of that. because that distracts from unflattering news coming out about trump himself, about his former campaign chairman, paul march. that trial is in the news. i m sure he doesn t want more attention paid to that. or if there is attention it s the sense of it s unfair and it s a witch hunt and they re going after me. the campaign rallies are not about supporting any particular candidate which is ostensibly the objective here.
center, ohio. you see this room filling up. this is at a high school there where the president will host a rally tonight, what he calls a make america great again rally, in part trying to avert a special election loss as he campaigns for troy balderson, the state senator in a tough fight to represent ohio s 12th congressional district. this includes affluent suburbs of columbus and central ohio. this is a deep red district. it s gone republican for many, many, many decades. and yet the polling show this is race now neck and neck. we are staying on top of this. in the meantime we are staying on top of the latest in the paul manafort trial one includes ostrich and python and plaid. omy. jeanie moos reports on paul manafort s interesting fashion choices. the price of the ostrich jacket don t bite until you see it on the invoice. $15,000.
but, you know, the president uses the bully pulp it on a number of occasions to bully people and not to unite and bring the country together. and so this is just one example of that. and i don t expect le stop doing it. do you think he is going to be able to let melania s statement roll off his back heading into the rally, knowing he doesn t let go easily the slightest critique. we have seen him in condition contrast with another family member, ivanka trump saying the media is not the enemy of the people. we have seen melania have her own voice in the administration. draw contrast with her husband. we will see what his reaction is tonight. he has a rally where he is in campaign mode. we know what that looks like. and he is supposed to be there for a republican candidate, kathryn, because this is a district trump won by 11 points. and now look at the latest polls when you look at the republican versus the democrat here, the
