starting to backfire. i think whether he gets over his skis and things start blowing up in his face, i think is he an ed a advocate for his t stormy daniels or try og to take on a larger role. him putting out what appears to be documents on michael cohen s investigation, that led to a significant new development in the story. unclear if, how or at all related to his client stormy daniels. you always have a danger with some folk when is they put themselves out. you fly a little too close to the sun and fall. he s been an active antagonist and playing trump s own tactics against him. that s one of the interesting things. the story a couple days ago about pitching a show without an audience. got a lot of eye rolls. it might be great television. it s not on the front burner, but it is on the back burner. but i do think there s been some critical coverage in the past
flexio next. it puts those who have to speak on behalf of the president puts them until an uncomfortable position. it shows discord and how does the white house function in that way. sarah huckabee sanders who are talking about to look in her own children s eyes and her role as press secretary, here is how she explained. this is a guy who sometimes use colorful and in many circles probably not appropriate language. he s very passionate about the president, the president s agenda and he may have let that get the best of him in that conversation. reporter: colorful and passionate are the words we ll be listening for as they described what was a blistering attack in language. eye rolls were observed. let me say that. at the same time there s an
president trump even seemed to allude to this last night, speaking to the boy scout jamboree. as the skcout law says, a scout is trustworthy, loyal we could use more loyalty, i will tell you that. republican loyalty to the president is indeed being tested. the president s allies on capitol hill fear that he might fire bob mueller. they worry about his assertion that he has complete power to pardon after the washington post reported that the president had asked aides about whether he could pardon his family members or even himself. the temptation might be to look at this sessions story as a bit of human drama. the person deriding a longtime loyalist, how long will the president suffer these tweets and eye rolls and comments of the president, but the story here is that president trump will want someone at the justice department who will exert tighter reins, if not a scythe,
russians to have the last word. right. opened the possibility that president trump has decided that russian intervention didn t matter because it helped him politically and that now he expects the russians not to intervene because he s president. and that i hope is not his view. but he s left that open to interpretation. so michael, would it have made a difference if not for the handshake at the very beginning, because remember, you know, it was a matter of maybe the u.s. kind of settling the score, did you meddle or not and if you did, then why, why would you start it off with a handshake, but perhaps if the handshake came at the end, you know, might it be interpreted differently that they, you know, came to terms or they re in agreement but made or there is some consequence that comes from the president of the united states initiating the conversation about meddling? i m actually less concerned about handshakes and eye rolls and sort of the physical optics of two world leader
kimberly, the president calls the trip a home run. when it comes to merkel, it s a bunt or a strike-out. yes, clearly the german chancellor was not happy with the way things went in the meeting with president trump, which was his first big multilateral meeting of european allies since taking office. it was telegraphed to reporters that he would re-affirm the commitment to nato and did the exact opposite, scolding memberers saying they weren t paying their fair share of national defense. leaders reacting with eye rolls and not accepting his speech very well. eric: that means that they just don t want to hear what he has to say. couldn t you wouldn t you say that? also, they took it it was interesting. the european folks i talk to said look, he just came from saudi arabia where he told 50 or more muslim leaders that he was
