Certainty and predictability. Thats the best way to make business decisions. Having the president make this controversial announcement, then indicate right away they may or may not be committed to it is not the kind of certainty Corporate America is looking for. Those are some of the broader impacts. Whats the potential impact inside his own administration, and for his own Press Secretary who has to go out and defend a policy shes not sure is etched in stone . Obviously shes in an impossible situation. I think what it does inside the white house, its corrosive to any effort to put in place a process to make decisions. Because people know that the Decision Making process is precarious at best, that theres never a final decision thats made and theres an opportunity to influence it at a variety of junctures or to go in and intervene with the president at the last minute. It means theres no coherent process in place and the result is you have decisions that are halfbaked at best. This has
Disciplined or removed from office only by the personal action of the Attorney General. But according to the white house, the president has been advised he, he can terminate Robert Mueller all by himself. Does he believe he has the power to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller . Certainly believes he has the power to do so. Most legal experts believe he would have to order Deputy Attorney general rosenstein to fire mueller and corefuse. I know a number of individuals in the Legal Community and including at the department of justice said he has the power to do so but i dont have any further announcements. They told me, ive asked. They said its rosenstein oversees is the Special Counsel and only he has the power to fire the Special Counsel. Again, weve been advised that the president certainly has the power to make that decision. I cant go anything beyond that. Weve been advised the president certainly has the power to make the decision. To be clear, the warrants that were executed agains
Changer in this back and forth. Francesca chambers, north korea again. You do a lot of foreign travel. It has to be part of the buzz on the back of the plane every day that you are flying. I 100 agree with what youre saying. I dont want to be like accused of warmongering or scare tactics, but, look, this administration is looking at plans to be able to, if they had to, as youre saying here, to be able to go forward with some sort of a Military Option. I know they keep saying those are always on the table, but i am hearing they are trying to afford a Military Option if they had to, in march of next year. Again, hopefully, well obviously not get to where they would have to do that. When they say the Military Option is on the table, the Military Option is on the table. General dunford said at the aspen security institute, thats what you pay us for. We have plans. It is hard to think about the unthinkable, but we have plans. Desensitized, as james was saying, to so many of these things. We
Bill police are saying the suspect is likely behind five explosions in Central Texas going back to march 2. Three died and four seriously injured in the blasts. Sandra Police Warning other Package Bombs cowl still be out there.

Running the Trump Organization. It worked that way in the campaign and in the white house. People like gary cohn, one of his chief economic advisers, peter navarro, he would have them battle it out about tariffs. Navarros side ended in winning. Thats also been trumps longheld view about tariffs. Gary cohn later resigned, mostly because of that decision made by the president. But he is someone who, in our reporting, shows in recent weeks hes grown more and more frustrated with some of the advice from his straf. Hes also grown more and more frustrated more of his staff is leaving, but at the same time, he feels a little liberated, hes been telling people close to him that he wants to trust his instincts, trust his gut. He thinks thats what won him the election in 2016 and thats what he waunnts to rely on more and more in the white house, and were seeing that this week in particular, the decision on tariffs and the surprising decision on north korea. How much does that thrill you, that he
