welcome back. continuing with my interview with president trump. we hit a lot of topics in this part of our sit down, starting with the crisis at the border. i want to ask what s going on with the children in these migrant camps. the stories are horrible. children without their parents. kids taking care of kids. you ve read these reports. i know people are coming to you. i know you think this is the democrats problem. why aren t you doing something? they are in terrible shape down there, mr. president. in homestead, florida, where i grew up, the conditions are terrible. i agree and it s been that way for a long time. and president obama built the cages it was 1914. it was 2014.
your best shot at getting it. the base of the democratic party wants something else but there s this idea joe biden is your best shot. i think arguably mitt romney was a little closer in terms of having been having governed and a closer record to when he ran for president. the problem is the separation with so much of his political record, because, yes, he s vice president but people don t account for that. they think about it from the 1970s. that separation is huge. if you think the democrats are attacking biden now, you just wait. in a political primary where they agree on 90% of policy, it will be all about drawing distinctions. you will see it on the debates on nbc. the way they re going after him well done. thank you. if you think this is bad now, just wait. he is the person in the way of the ambitions of a whole bunch of the other candidates who will be on the stage on
and president trump will be a dominating presence at those debates. one way or the other, it will be a refer rendm on donald trump. he will argue he s a successful businessman turned president with a successful economy, apoined conservative judges. in short he ll argue he s made america great again. democrats will say he s a bigot who s caged children and embarrassed america before the world and in short unfrit the office. i sat down for an interview that touched on well, almost everything. from the crisis at the border to the mueller report to whether he ll accept the results if he loses. and we start with the decision to call off a strike on iran. what happened last night?
thing this is too much. stop tweeting, taunting. i mean that s his style. it s this notion that you re going to change who he is. i think we should give up on that. all the criticism about there being no process in the white house, i mean the president arrives at decisions the way he s going to arrive at dedecisions. all these democratic candidates criticizing on process. and i love a good process more than anything else. and why do that? he s going to do what he s going to do. nonstop harum-scarum is an approach that can exhaust people. and i think he s struggling with how to take on biden. and you saw that when he was in florida launching his campaign. so he went back to his talking points on hillary clinton he s decided she s a great candidate now. because she s a great candidate because it would make his victory seem more impressive.
doesn t allow people to really know what he s think and so he may or may not exercise or use that leverage and uses that to bring his adversary to the table. you ve seen it with china, mexico and now iran. and in many ways it has become entirely predictable. the predictable have become entirely predictable. i think if you look at trump from the campaign and the donald trump we know about not wanting to get entangled in the middle east, it was very likely. was that a confident president or is he trying to show so much confidence because he s nervous about the economy and iran, nervous about the border. nervous about jeff sessions, which is code for investigations. as you say he just announced his reelection this past week. he s eager to get out there in the fight. there s an insecurity that fuels this cocky kind of persona that
