us access to capital. they have a whole wrap around strategy for how they become irresistible. we have to be irresistible to advanced manufacturers in the globe or we are going to lose out. that s what i d like to see is a comprehensive plan from the trump administration. there s one place we know we need to the advanced manufacturing jobs and it s ohio. we have a young man here from ohio. midwest represented again. jake tuckerman, clinton voter, what s your question. thank you for the opportunity to ask a question. it seems over the past few weeks and months that trump s relationship with themidia is becoming increasingly confrontational. i m curious how you think this will affect americans as they search for real truth in the media and also how the repercussions of this will be specifically with the effects this will have on his views against the credibility of the media? i mean, this is such an important question. i hope that you all who are here and the folks are watching
