the democrats that want to beat him. i hate to had on the upside or down side, don t focus on one particular day. look at the trends and the trend has been favorable for the market and certainly for the economy. but everything has its potential turn. too soon to indicate whether this is. but whatever is going on a global phenomenon that manufacturers are felling. should that be a worry for the president? i don t think so. with any industry, you have ups and downs. under president trump, we are witnessing a booming economy. that is his strong message point that he carries. neil: what if it s not as booming when he s up for election? it s not booming as much? think about what the previous administration did when it came to fossil fuels. think about if we had a hillary clinton presidency. that she wanted to do away with the coal industry jobs and the
most of the jobs we lost to automation. same reason we lost coal industry jobs. tuck particular that s not true. tucker: wto destroyed american manufacturing. i think china has not lived up to its commitment to the wto there will be no dispute for me or frankly most other people about. no one says anything about it or morning joe is totally cool with that as long as you threat happen. you are one of us. the second anybody says something about it you are totally irresponsible. why shouldn t the american leader stand up for america. really simple question. the problem is they should, but china is the problem as regards say aluminum and steel, not canada. that s the problem and not japan and not france. and yet the president seems perfectly hunky doory to look the other way when it comes to zte and chinese behemoth insinuating themselves into u.s. technology or somehow or another it s canada, canada that becomes the enemy as
the eleventh hour gets under way. good evening from our headquarters here in new york. day 153 of the trump administration and tonight the president ventured west of the mississippi for the first time as president. he held a rally in cedar rapids, iowa that might as well have been a campaign stop. he went off script early and often and relitigated a lot of long-standing battles. he made some lofty claims about his accomplishments thus far about legislation and the number of coal industry jobs, for instance, that have been produced. he promised the crowd a great national rebuilding. he promised health care with a heart. the largest tax cut in history. and he assured them he s going to build that wall along our southern border, but he said he had had an idea to make it a solar wall because as he put it, it s one of the places where solar works best.
president will not lead in this space, that they will. he also is missing a great opportunity around creating economic opportunities also. so it s really a shame. yeah. to see him not thinking in a very progressive and forward thinking way that will benefit our country for decades to come. tom, just the facts on the ground, so the jobs created by coal which donald trump thinks he could bring back the coal industry, as of 2016, the coal industry created 160,000 jobs. the solar industry created 373,000 jobs, more than twice as much. let s go to the coal industry jobs 2012 versus 2016. they have gone from 90,000 to 50,000 jobs. meanwhile, the united states remains the largest carbon plu tor, not just in the world but in history. you can see us there at the top of the chart. is there any truth to the argument that trying to control
hey, if you have a plan better than obama care, let s hear it. we d be happy to repeal it if we had something else on the table. but you live in the state of kentucky where matt beven did get rid of people s health care and i think republicans feel like they can get away with it. in a state like kentucky, if paul ryan goes in and eviscerates medicare and those minors health benefits for blawhat are democrats going to do about it? how do they fight it and convince kentucky voters they are on their side? absolutely. you ve got to fight it and convince people that they ve been had, essentially. i mean, this man came in claiming to be a savior telling people here that coal industry jobs were going to come back. he was lying. there is no plan for that. immediately after the election mitch mcconnell came out and said, well, even if we change course on the epa, those jobs are probably not going to come back. you have to do that work of
