aren t particularly politically partisan, people who aren t hacks will have concerns about the decisions he s making as president. to be clear, mccraven did not become political until after the election is over, is that correct? so the characterization of him as a hillary backer is completely untrue. got it. okay. i want to quickly put up, we just had this graphic up on the screen. trump disapproval rating among active duty times readers. when the president was elected, he enjoyed quite a bit of support from our service members. in 2016, his disapproval down around 37% but it s ticked up according to the military times to 43%. what do you attribute this to? why are military service members looking at this president and changing their opinions? i think when you send soldiers to the south border for dubious mission, that impacts morale and raises the disapproval level.
happened again yesterday, this time with admiral william mcraven who led the s.e.a.l. team 6 mission that killed osama bin laden. retired admiral, navy s.e.a.l., 37 years, former head of u.s. operations. excuse me. hillary clinton fan. who led the operations, committed the operations that took down saddam hussein and killed osama bin laden says your sentiment he is a hillary clinton backer and obama backer. he is a navy s.e.a.l. it would have been nice if we got osama bin laden sooner than that. what precipitated the attack? perhaps that mcraven wouldn t make an endorsement in the election or that he called for the president to revoke his security clearance after former cia director john brennan had
he lied. he said it wasn t because of his views on mueller. and that, i think, just flies in the face of all of facts that we know and common sense when you look at the circumstances here that he bypassed so many other qualified people who would have been so much less controversial like rod rosenstein and many other senate confirmed people. he reached out as many have said from the bowls of the department of justice to pull this guy whose company he was affiliated with is under investigation for criminal fraud. you don t do that for no reason. i think it s clear why he did. let s go back to the criticism of retired admiral william mccraven. here s what he said. bill mcraven, retired admiral. former head of u.s. special operations. hillary clinton fan. he s a hillary clinton backer. and an obama backer.
if whitaker decides to curtail the mueller investigation, are you okay with that? it s up to him. i did not know he took views on the mueller investigation as such. when you found that out? i don t think it had effect. three democratic senators on the judiciary committee saying the appointment is unconstitutional. the three senators filed suit this morning in federal court. bill mccraven, retired admiral, navy s.e.a.l., former head of hillary clinton fan. command of the operations that took down saddam hussein and that killed osama bin laden said your sentiment is the he s a hillary clinton backer. and an obama backer. and,frankly he was a navy s.e.a.l. would have been nice to get bin laden sooner than that. criticism of facebook grows. congress needs to regulate online ads.
income, higher levels of diversity in the democratic areas. older, less educated whites dominating in the republican-led areas and you saw that in the 2016 presidential election. hillary clinton only hillary clinton only carried fewer than 500 counties. donald trump carried 2500 but her county counted for two third of the gross domestic product. is this a continuation of economy we saw in the 2016 election? yes. they are drifting further apart though. the rest of the country should be hoping for the success of that economy because that s going to be necessary to pay for government services, entitlement benefits and that sort of thing. the metropolitan policy program
