And healing to do in his own party. however, i think last night was a good beginning for this president. i have, on more than one occasion criticized president trump for his tweets and the things he says. last night was a solid reset. he used a presidential opportunity to behave presidentially, even his style and tone last night was, i thought, very untrump. i don t know if that s what happens when the president is exposed to a solar eclipse or not, but the trump we saw last night was very presidential, all about healing and used this effort in afghanistan to talk about healing our nation at home first. it was a very good speech for the president. the problem is, most enmys go back to that reset point, the de facto point that trump is a racist, i don t think that is true even though his behavior last week was not good. i want to draw your attention, we heard from vice president pence this morning on fox and friends. chris, cillizza, i would love
To sit by and let events fun fold. he is training in his business life to think he is the mover, the shaker, and the driver, and his force makes a difference in this instance, there is a bull in a china shop, this is not how politics works. you are not trying to make enmys in public. and we ll see if the president finds a knew way to play this game. right now it looks very rough and tumble, and all together too public. a way that you make enemies and potential people against you. he knows that worked for him. thank you to all of you, let me bring in noel.
The election. say he refuses to say or bring up that russia interfered in the election, i can t tell you whether or not he will do it or not. what message will that send to vladimir putin? the message is pretty clear whether or not he wanted it or not, putin has a friend in president trump. a president of the united states who basically is carrying out putin s agenda. splitting the western alliance, splitting the united states, sewing doubts about the freedom of the press, doubts about the american leadership of the world. what about doubts about the intelligence community. what about when something happens and we have intelligence on it and he goes to our allies or our enmys and says hay, we need you on our side or we need to watch out for that.
That, and i wondered in realtime, will there be a response. it is alarming that this president is so easily played by a cable news host. what is that saying to our allies? what is that saying to our enmys? that this president is so easily played? trump s social media assault sparked bipartisan criticism. then there is this powerful image on the cover of the new york daily news. our word of the day is backlash. the criticism he is facing from both sides of the aisle from those tweets. the concern now is about the character of the president that increasically this tweet relies on the sense that they can rely on the character of the president of the united states. he is using behavior that would get you tossed out of any
just very briefly, the effect if on the up coming trip. yeah, i think they will be wondering if they can share information reliably. they will be astonishes that they are laning so far forward with their enmys. coming up, a white house in crisis mode as turkey s president is set to arrive at any moment. what s ahead there on andrea mitchell reports. on a trademarked trade platform that has all the. get off the computer traitor! i won t. (cannon sound) mobility is very important to me. that s why i use e trade mobile. it s on all my mobile devices, so it suits my mobile lifestyle
