he used to say i would never leave the white house. if i was in the white house, i would in every leave. remember when he would say that? i would be working so hard. how can he golf that much. donald trump golfs all the time. they give him executive time. well, that s special time for him to be alone and watch tv. yeah, he doesn t have to start working until 11:00, he can finish until around 2:00 or 3:00. so if he s doing more work now than he did in private business, you do kind of understand why he had trouble financially for a while. that makes sense, the bankruptcy thing, yeah. so that was president trump nearly one year ago. this morning there are more republicans keeping their powder dry for 2020 and withholding their endorsement for the president. joe writes about that in his latest column in the washington post entitled it s becoming clear that trump won t run.
but, look to the future. the bankruptcy thing is not going to pass but what will happen and what has passed is a program that the president has taken advantage of and made about a million homeowners available to those who have been paying their mortgages but are deeply underwater and unable to refinance because they are underwater. skit a very good program that allows them to reduce monthly payments and they can stay in place and the second thing he has done, the american jobs act, ultimate estimately if a person is not working they will lose their home so get people back to work and that is what the american jobs act does for over a million and perhaps up to two million people who can go back to work and pay their mortgage. neil: we don t know that for sure. we do know in the history of the mortgage rewrites, they don t work. and at the love the same people who were on the verge of defaulting do so all over again.

there. i have to tell you, i got to do my trump thing and put my hands out because there is nothing he can t get around. trashes the looks of women and says i m only talking about, what s her name? katy rosey o donald and says i only screw stiff people out of money in the trillions because they are bad guys. not the little guys. i watched the debate at a watch party at the american conservative union at the house of blues and first of all, wild cheers for trump. on those points? yes, got cheered on those points. he got through all these three points the third party pledge. rosey o donald. comments about women and the bankruptcy thing, got through all of those just fine. the only time the applause for trump kind of quieted down a bit was toward the end of the debate when he seemed to run out of steam after, you know, how many times can you repeefat that everybody is stupid.
