but there s always been the case remember the budget deficit and tax cuts and spending that he put through super charged the economy. that is winding down. so there was always going to be that down side or this down trend. he s now exacerbating that with trade. he continues to want to do that, and i think he s going to have a much less good economy. it was coming out that steve mnuchin had anything to do with this new absurd mexican tariff. i guess my question as somebody who came from the clinton world, it s the economy stupid, i think because it s such a polarizing human good or bad the economy doesn t play as much i 100% agree with you. i think for 30 years since reagan was elected the economy has mattered less. but what does matter, i have heard trump supporters who are hurt by tariffs say you know what, i m willing to hang in there with him. it s emotional. because he s trying to turn
it s going to be a reality, and we can expect a lot of pugilism of the sort you just showed right now. yeah. julia, there s a new york times op-ed which lays out why liberals are wrong to reject the president s immigration plan writing in part, quote, unlike his previous proposals this one would not reduce the total number of immigrants allowed in. by proposing no immigration cuts mr. trump has conceded the fundamental liberal premise america needs immigrants. it s only a question of how immigrants are selected and how. do you think democrats risk completely shutting this one down? i m not really sure. i think on this issue obviously the two parties are very dwieivd on how to go forward. and i think although there may be some potentially concessions in this i think the democrats are staunchly against the president. i think that s for purely political reasons at this point. the president has very much used immigration as a tool to really
immigration and custom enforcement officials will then decide to retlees them to the public. officials say the texas facilities are overwhelmed. in both march and april more than 100,000 undocumented immigrants crossed the border over the span of a month, numbers not seen in more than 12 years. last night president trump said he might bus detained immigrants to sanctuary cities. we ll bring them to sanctuary city areas and let that particular area take care of it. they re always saying they have open arms. let s see if they have open arms. reporter: but officials now insist the decision being where to transport migrants are not political and they would not specifically target sanctuary cities. in florida the trump administration was considering the release of hundreds of migrants in broward and palm beach counties each month, two democratic strong holds.
