it really is good. now the question everyone is asking is, who s going to be the next to leave? steve miller or melania? that s terrible, honey, but you love me. right? with that, let s bring in the panel. msnbc political analyst, the washington post white house bureau chief and analyst phillip rucker and former press secretary and ken delandian. thank you for coming in tonight. let s start with the gridiron dinner because this is the president to say that the president has had an uneasy relationship with the town of washington with the press i think is something of an understatement. how did ken, you were there. how did it come across in the room? well, you know, it was a moment of suspense because donald trump avoided the black tie suares. he would have to sit here where they do skits and we should probably explain that. gridiron is one of the odest clubs in washington.
