lot less? yes. you think? and he tweeted about back in december when putin initially announced he wasn t going to take any action, that s when president trump said that s when he tweeted i ve always said he s a very smart man. he had a response when putin said he wasn t going to take action. now, no response. he s tweeted about china. he s tweeted about other countries, tweeted about people. he s tweeted about all sorts of things. why not tweet about russia? because this is a big issue. and president trump j is he really going to sign this sanction bill? he has said that he will sign the sanction bill that s passed through congress that s lumped in or on north korea and russia, and that was the reason that senator rand paul and senator bernie sanders voted against him because it lumped in so many countries, but is trump going to be able to follow through on that? can t he? not for some reason. coming up the washington post
he getting something we re simply not aware of? there s a lot of questions here. trump s behavior is very by d bizarre. december 29th i was on the air when the united states, president obama administration shut down diplomatic facilities in the united states, the russian diplomatic facilities. would this have happened far sooner, what we are seeing today out of russia, hearing from vladimir putin, had president trump not been the man to walk into 1600 pennsylvania avenue? well, you know, when president obama took the two dochs and expelled around 35 personnel, so you look at this proportionately and vladimir putin has definitely escalated, you know, his response to the sanction bill that is in congress that president trump, i believe, released a statement on friday saying that he did plan to sign it, which actually surprised me, because i was seeing i had predicted he would be contrarian on this
russians are acting contrary to security issues around the world. we have a responsibility to send a strong message we will not tolerate that and it s not a surprise they responded this way. but we need to send a very strong message so we can protect the integrity of our elections and reduce the kind of aggression that they re engaged in around the world. if the president decides no the to sign the sanctions bill? the response? i think there s it would be very hard for the president to do that. the this is a sanction bill which imposes sanctions on north korea, russians, overwhelmingly passed in h the house and senate in a very bipartisan way. i thi i think it s veto proof. i don t think the the president can do math, we hope. we hope it would be overridden. very important they go into place. congressman, obviously health care in the senate went down last night overnight.
