What do you make of that . Look, when you have a tragedy of this proportion, what you want from your president is competence and you want authenticity. Not everybody is a hugger, not everybody is an emoter and i think that part of why were having the hug counting, how many hugs he gave or didnt give, why we have silly discussions whether the first lady can wear sill stilettos on the way to air force one. Theyre handling this well. I think there were plans in the media for stories how he dropped the ball and mishandled his first big crisis. This is a huge flood, a huge Natural Disaster, and things are going as well as you could hope for. Lauren rachel, you say the word huge, they criticized him, the mainstream media, you know, for saying the storm was epic and horrific. What other words would you use to describe it . It seems so weird. Juan, let me bring it in here. I personally dont care about melanias heels and questioning the fact that the media asked a lot of questions about the 1 m
Cancelled. Major garrett is at the white house and joining us with the latest on that. It was a short agenda today. Only one public event for the president , a a 3 30 speech at the department of labor to highlight his efforts to expand the workplace apprenticeships. That event has now been cancelled. And the white house is contemplating where and how and if the president will give remarks about todays tragic events. I can tell you that the president has telephoned House Speaker paul ryan and is making other calls to members of the House Republican conference and leadership and the white house is reviewing the president s schedule for the remainder of the day gathering more information and contemplating when or if the president will make public remarks on todays tragic events. One of the things we do not know what the motives were, but if this was terrorism, this is exactly the kind of impact that they want to have. They want to scare people, create disruption and that kind of thing. Th

Other than the fact that i have been unable to so whats the grade, sir . Untreating us fairly, i give ourselves an a. But the grade is incomplete. And ill tell you why. If we come up with the vaccines and therapeutics, then i give myself an a plus. All right. President trump in conversation with bob woodward who last night shared that previously unreleased audio from an interview from late july when the president gave himself that glowing grade. 140,000 americans had lost their lives from the coronavirus. Now, about two months later, the coronavirus death toll in the u. S. Has surpassed 200,000 lives. You know, its its a grading scale i dont think any of us understand or would be comfortable with. I think its a grading scale straight out of trump university. Because we can grade it from the very beginning where he was a liar and admitted he was a liar to the American People. When he had been told by his own people inside the white house, in january, that this was going to be the bigges
