and it s also a story mail aabout people and while we make more e-commerce deliveries to homes than anyone else in the country, we never forget. that your business is our business the united states postal service. priority: you the president playing the role of cheerleader in chief today on health care with the senate gop bill hanging in the balance. back now with my panel. david, in vintage donald trump fashion, the president gave us a television tease on health care today. jim mentioned that just a moment ago. he is promising a big surprise. take a look. health care is working along very well. we could have a big surprise with a great health care package. so now they re happy. what do you mean by big surprise? you could have a great, great surprise. it s going to be great. so the president, david, hasn t delivered on health care
what david was saying. i think the white house, the president, also handled the justice gorsuch matter very well. that from start to finish was handled extremely well by this white house. they did not put forward a nominee that was scandal ridden. the president likes to tweet about this all the time and call it fake news. let s put this in perspective. the president of the united states is also a purveyor of fake news. i shouldn t say also like we are. he is himself a purveyor of fake news. he is the founding father of birtherism, the false claim that president obama was born in another country. president obama was born in hawaii. he came out right after his inauguration and said his inauguration crowds were bigger than president obama s when they weren t. we had photographic evidence from the national park service to prove that point. he alleged that millions of undocumented people voted against him and gave hillary clinton the popular vote in the 2016 election. the white house is jus
that did not materialize. and this is a health care bill, don, that is if you look at the various polls that came out today, is somewhere between 12% and 25%. that is just not going to get the job done. when you talk to gop sources i talked to a number of them tonight one gop source said, you are just not going to get 50 senators to support that kind of legislation. and by the way, this war on the media is also a useful distraction when you have this fund-raiser taking place down the street at the trump international hotel, which by the way, i don t know if we ve really focused on this enough is being held inside a federal building. the trump company, the trump organization, actually leases that building from the federal government. so the fund-raiser tonight is not only for the president s re-election campaign, you know, within six months of his administration, it s being held in a federal building. yeah, and that s where caitlyn collins is standing right now, jim. i want to
political director david stall on, jim acosta, caitlyn collins, and abbey phillip. also with us, amie parnes. so good to have all of you on this evening. jim, the administration facing a major hurdle on health care and the white house again refused to hold a live, on-camera press briefing hours after the president took to twitter to attack the media. he s calling out cnn. he s calling out the washington post, the new york times, among other news organizations as fake news. is it a war on free press? is that the strategy of this white house? it s definitely part of the strategy over here at the white house, don. here s why. the president does not have any major legislative achievements to speak of at this point. he s trying to get health care passed. he talked about the surprise that is apparently in store for all of us in the coming days, but we ve heard the president talk about surprises before. he talked about possible tapes that he had of jim comey.
