which is how we usually have done it. does donald trump bet he can move on about bannon. if everyone is screaming about statues, his people stay with him. he knew bannon was gone. he still defended the white nationalist who is were there in charlottesville. he still came out and said very controversial things on tuesday. you have to remember donald trump hates to be told what to do period. he wants to do what he feels like is right. i was talking to somebody close to the president today and they said this idea he s playing three dimensional chess and everyone plays checkers is wrong. he acts on instinct. shelby land ascii poi key po. jay-z says nobody wins when the family feuds. we re going to fit in a break. thank you as always for your reporting. stick around. we have plans for you including
