some time to say the least. odd thing is isn t tides of people coming over the border, some great tlechlt there s debate whether we need the wall and many immigration experts say a wall wouldn t save the problem anyway. narrative that donald trump created in campaign of huge threat of illegal immigration not supported by facts. most people coming in via airplanes and overstaying their visa. man with some say toughest job in washington. sean spicer speaking for donald trump. i realize that ah, that $100k is not exactly a fortune.
it depends on when you re coming into the presidency. i think you re right with truman. the problem was that ever fdr people lived with fdr for 12 years as their president. weren t ready for anyone else to be president and truman says pray for me as if he couldn t do the job. he turned out to be a really good president. at the beginning that transition was hard just as it was for lbj. he didn t have the voice of the new england establishment. he thought they would look down on him because he wasn t. he turned out to do more on civil rights and great society that jfk ever could have done. go back to what we were saying before about the press and the relationship. the best president, the ones i ve studied and lived with the most, had a good relationship with the press. they understood they will fight. they understood they ll have to take criticism. if you can deal with the president like teddy roosevelt could, every day when he had the barber s hour, he would have himself shaved in the m

it s going to be stuff you haven t heard before. it s like one-tenth of what you ve heard before according to the list right now, and most of the extremely crazy trump stuff is not in there. i want to on an exit question for you, we have this odd odd thing we re calling a campaign, but on a serious note, there s a lot of violence, implied violence. actually violence that swirls around the trump campaign. and going to gettysburg where abraham lincoln was felled by the greatest possible violence against our political system, without ever having acknowledged that that violence has ever happened or really repudiating it, what do you make of campaign that seems to be stoking more by telling his supporters and the angriest ones at that, don t believe the elections if she wins. i think what you re watching is a desperate losing campaign.
