Despite the president s exact opposite comments yesterday about pulling them out of the wartorn country. And the wh and the white house is remaining mum on a new report from the Washington Post that mueller was preparing a report about the president s action in office and potential obstruction of justice.

But again, i cannot emphasize this enough, trump and his administration claim that the u. S. Holds a trade deficit with china of 500 billion. It is just dishonest.

H. R. , this is great. Its good words on the piece of paper but there seems to be a disconnect between what our Security Strategy is saying and what the administration is doing, actively pursuing. H.

You can see the markets dropped this morning after the announcement from china. About 500 points it was at the opening bell. Dropped more than 400. Most of this rebound after some reassuring words from the president s newly appointed director of the National Economic council, larry kudlow. Formerly of cnbc. He told reporters that the president s plan for tariffs might not happen and could be a negotiating tactic. I would take the president seriously on this tariff issue. You know,

That was levity. That was wonderful. Why were they in hazmat suits . Thats a question. Thanks to our International Viewers for watching much cnn talk is next for you. For u. S. Viewers, new day continues right now. We will be guarding our border with the military. There is a huge Enthusiasm Gap between the democrats and the republicans. Today is the day we want to start this process. The threat is real. We want to focus on transitioning to local enforcement. There are no Security Forces on the ground. Thats why there is a civil war there. President trump is an ignoramus on security issues. Is draining the swamp renting an apartment from the wife of a washington lobbyist .
