Grievances. Here is president donald trump. We have to talk about it to find out whats going on because the press, honestly, is out of control. To be honest, i inherited a mess. Its a mess. At home and abroad. A mess. This administration is running like a finetuned machine. From a lastminute press conference to a new cabinet nomination, it has been a whirlwind, not just day, id say the last two hours at the white house. Our team is all in place to help us make sense of all of it and break it down. The obvious starting place is at the white house. My colleague Kelly Odonnell is is there for us this afternoon. Reporter it was a theater, it was emotion, there were facts in there as well and some news was made on a variety of policy subjects. Thing tas will probably get less attention. But as you pointed out, this began as a means to introduce a new nominee for department of labor. Yet he was not here. Which is also unusual.

When asked about his public infidelities during his first marriage he said, i dont talk about it. I wasnt the president of the united states. Trump took a different line of attack at a rally in michigan yesterday. Mr. President , will you pledge not to issue a pardon to Hillary Clinton and her coconspirators for their many crimes a
That doesnt seem to be in the offering any time soon. He clarified our strategy. It seems to be a disconnect between what secretary tillerson and the white house is saying on one hand and which is a little bit rabid to say the least and what the Defense Department is talking about. And it appears that the Defense Department is going to hold sway. In fact, we dont have a strategy that doesnt include isis. Were going after isis, thats the mission. This thing about bombing the airport and the cratering the runway. That was a side show. That happened. We did that in response to the use of chemical weapons and the suggestion is if they use chemical weapons were going to do it again and maybe something more. Our strategy is the same. Were only going after isis and isis were focusing on. Another thing was interesting when you compare and contrast what mattis was talking about and what tillerson was talking about with respect to the russians complicity in the whole chemical weapons episode, ma
