democracy. the next pm should be chosen not by the u.s. president or tori party members but by the british people in a general election. the president is also sparking criticism for a comment he made about the duchess of sussex, meghan markle. she said she would move to canada and you got elected. a lot of people moving here. so what can i say. no i didn t know she was nasty. joining me is bloomberg s chief washington correspondent, kevin certi kevin. help us understand. theresa may s tenure as prime minister coming to a close. president trump likes to say that he is mr. brexit in many ways, and that he was part of the global movement, a pop you list that helped propel the likes of brexit across the pond, as they say, and domestically
executive order. the other irony is that trump also campaigned as a pop you list, but he s been governing to benefit large corporations, oil and mining companies, big interest, big banks, rolling back the protections for lay your unions. what we have here is a president that said he was going to build a wall, repeal and replace obamacare, lockup hillary clinton. he didn t do those. instead he did a lot of small things to help rich people. there are some things he said that may not affect a large population. let s take transgender. during the election, he acted like he was very open on this issue, okay? he was asked by then host of the today show matt lauer if he was okay with transgender using the
what do you make of this? yeah, what do you make of this? i mean, he got great applause yesterday. he of course is not from alabama and he was criticizing people from the outside getting in this race. yeah, i mean, you know, the sort of symbolic nature of $100 check from jeff flake, you don t hear very often about republicans even republicans on the outs with their president writing checks to democrats so that was kind of the point of what jeff flake did and bannon sort of undercutting it saying it s only $100. the rnc, by the way, if we want to know about the republican transition back in favor of roy moore is going back into alabama with something like $50,000 so they re spending a lot more money on the republican side than jeff flake is on the democratic side. i think $100 is $100. i think the vast majority of $100, mr. pop you list ought to
is and his brand of it in particular. let me play that for you. we will win. we will turn this thing around. we will get our country back. we will stop the decline of america that the elites are comfortable making money off in this downward trend. we will turn this thing around as a people as a group of pop you list, national list conservatives and we will make this country great again. is there any room in the steve bannon view of america, of politics of what donald trump should be doing that is in any way movable? i think he is committed to what he wants to do. he s not completely inflexible. but what he wants is a new republican party, one that represents the working class in america. i think a lot of democrats would be interested in some of the things that he says. the democrat working class would argue his family was like kennedy democrats. that s where he came from. when the neighborhood became more african-american, his mother stayed there.
they are pulling him in different directions. jared kushner is a new yorker, he was a democrat before this. bannon is a hard right, he calls himself a pop you list, a nationalist. they have different ideas. when taxation comes up, when it comes to issues on how to handle health care they have different visions. s, there is a clash they are. so much of it is going to be on the substance what have trump did. while trump was elected on changing things up, he didn t have any specifics, he said repeal obamacare and replace it with something terrific. people close to steve bannon told me over the few days what he thought were policy disagreement may be more personal. he felt knee capped maybe,
