social justice because he was cleaning up from charlotte. so from our people he went to we are all on the same team. when one of us is hurting we are all hurt. he talked about true affection for each other and then slapped into an incredible add whom numb on the news media. he was told and he has heard that people want him to unite the country. that he didn t do that after charlottesville. he hasn t done it very much in the last week. he s gone back and forth, you know, on what he thought about that on the events there. so yeah, people wanted this to be him to unite the country, bring everyone together. he started to try to do that or he s had some language about that but yes, he goes back to the us versus them, media versus his supporters. that s the thing he s been saying for years, the thing that got him elected. that s what the crowd wanted to
something. he always talks about what he s seeing on the tv and the criticism he s been getting. at the can t help but push back. that is his personality that he has to have the last word. he had to explain tonight about charlottesville. robert. it s not just the view he has from the chair in the oval office. it s who is whispering in his ear. general kelly is now running the white house, general mattis at the pentagon. h.r. mcmaster as national security adviser urging him to more in a more interventionist direction. he has generals all around him now shaping policy. and we hear the rolling stones as we always did during the campaign. you can t always get what you want it jeremy, robert raises a good point about general kelly. here s the problem. did general kelly have advance
relitigating charlottesville while leaving out key portions of his speech, at what point do moderates say i mean in 2015, he said his tax reform plan was going to result in 6% gdp. that s going to happen right after never. right. well, i think the number of voters whose technically speaking, right after never. i think the number of voters whose top issue was tax reform is relatively small. i think there are a lot of donors to the republican party who care deeply about tax reform and a number of affluent voters who are counting on some big savings from that who would be very disappointed if that happened. one of the weird things about the trump presidency is it s been unclear exactly what the deliverables are supposed to be, but i think a lot of people voted for him fundamentally for cultural reasons. they felt like the country was slipping away from them, they were upset about political correctness and trump has delivered pushing back on that. so long as the economy continues
