remarkable. that s why nick mulvaney. nicky hailey. shall i continue we are joined by cnn presidential dougl presidenti presidential panel douglas. i know things about jon tester. i know that the president is dating back, not to our first president but every president after that has sharp elbows, i don t recall the president saying i know things about this guy. not in a speech like that. if you listen to the nixon tapes there is that information but done that s an interesting comparison. done in a subterranean way. he is a great american and had a great service and beloved by george w. bush, barack obama and donald trump. he became debris in the highway
say we could talk leaving open the question of whether he has talked with him. um-hum. yeah, and to that last point, paul, the president was rather cagey. he refused to say whether or not he has actually spoken with kim jong-un. i mean, interpret that. why doesn t he clarify? because again, there s nothing in it for donald trump to clarify. donald trump, like kim jong-un, operates in this world where a certain strategic ambiguity is good for them. if people are constantly guessing what they re thinking, that s good. we had a story earlier in the week i think last week where nicky hailey had gone on television shows to say donald trump s unpredictability is a good thing, keeps the world on their toes. for the trump did i, did i not, i will have, i do have, it s all nonsense. donald trump is trying to maintain this level of unpredictability and in this case he wanted to pick on the wall street journal today, because the wall street journal had said something bad about him two day
your new governor. where is henry? he s around here someplace. where he is? stand up, henry. proud of you. he helped us so much. and i want to also thank your former governor, nikki haley who is doing an awfully good job for us. she s representing america very well as our ambassador to the united nations. she is doing a spectacular job. it s early, but she has just been really great. we re here today to celebrate american engineering and american manufacturing. we re also here today to celebrate jobs, jobs. [ cheers and applause ] this plane, as you know, was built right here in the great state of south carolina. our goal as a nation must be to rely less on imports and more on products made here in the usa. [ cheers and applause ]
trump, if he stays off twitter during the prime time hours. from former congressman jolly to current congressman mark sanford, south carina congressman, who also, of course, former governor of the palmetto state, but represents the area where all of this is happening. isn t that correct, this is part of the first district, is it not? home sweet home, yes. let s start with what we just heard from the president. well, i think his comments were incredibly appropriate. he talked about jobs in this country, which is obviously something that s going to resonate with the boeing team here in south carolina. he talked about manufacturing in south carolina, which is again going to resonate with this crowd. he talked about jobs and the economy, which is what this crowd really wanted to hear. i do want to play quickly just a snippet of what we heard roughly this time yesterday from president trump and get your take on the other side. here it is.
president, south carolina overwhelmingly supported his candidacy. henry mcmaster, the governor just spoke and one of the early supporters he was lieutenant governor at the time. folks surprised one of the reasons nicky hailey became ambassador was because donald trump wanted to make sure that henry mcmaster could become governor in a state where he had run unsuccessfully for that office on a number of occasions. right now the introduction being given by one of the execs there with boeing, he is standing in front of that 787-10 dreamliner, the new plane that the president is there to help unveil. it s just, you can t really see it but it in the foreground. in the background air force one. we should also note that this president has enjoyed a productive relationship with boeing, and that is that word productive is the adjective used
