After the first known case in america. Ri what drew your attention immediately towards that, when i dont think many people liked the idea, at the time, tell us why you move that quickly . Because that really had not been done before. President trump all you had to really do was look at what was happening in china. You took a look at what was happening in wuhan province, and it was terrible. I it was i dont know if they were shielding it or not, but they didnt do much in terms of shielding it because you saw the death, there was a lot of death, and people coming into ouruc country from china, and i was i was excoriated by the fake news and by the press, by these people that are bad people, they are just bad people. They cannot love our country, i can tell you, they just excoriated and they werent doing it for any reason other than it was me, there was somebody else that did it, i think you probably would have had a much different reaction, but i closed it, and a lot ofth people didnt a
That position. And general chaos. I predict that general kelly will go down in terms of the position of chief of staff one of the great ever. We have got an inside look at how President Trump operates and how a white house should operate. The thing that general kelly do is not try to change donald trump. Plus, Senate Republicans Health Care Effort crashed and burned. Can a bipartisan solution rise from the ashes. I dont think its ever until we fix health care. Theres also a possibility for a bipartisan traditional kmujts over the next six months to do something. This is mtp daily and it starts right now. Good evening. Im katy terr in new york in for chuck todd. Welcome to mtp daily. General kelly meet general chaos and general dysfunction. After gist six days on the job White House Communications director Anthony Scaramucci resigned today. He was ousted on general john kellys first day on the job as white house chief of staff. The white houses initial statement suggested that scaramucc
Strong. President trumps comments come amid fallout over a sudden white house shakeup, and new developments in the russia investigation. Before departing for virginia, President Trump sent off a tweetstorm ranging from alleged conversations attorney general sessions had with the Russian Ambassador to Hillary Clintons email controversy. And this one on his pardoning power. While all agree the u. S. President has the complete power to pardon, why think of that when only crime so far is leaks against u. S. Fake news. Meanwhile reaction from sean spicer on what led him to resign yesterday morning when President Trump offered one of his most vocal supporters the communication director position. Heres what spicer said in an interview last night. I recommend to the president that i give anthony and sarah a clean slate to start from so they can talk about the president s agenda and help move it forward. He after this back and forth understood that the offer i was making was in the best interes
In part, thats the Communications Directors job and the political directors job and the chief of staffs job. Six months in, what do we hear constantly . Everybody is refitting themselves, retasking, panicking inside the white house because the president s mad at them. If you conduct an administration where your priority is every day to make sure the president still likes you, youre not going to get to the business of health care. You think health cares complicated for republicans . Watch tax reform. Every second were having this conversation, were closer to 2018. If the president s had a hard time getting anything big done in the first year in office, try getting it done in a Midterm Election year. Is Anthony Scaramucci going to be the next person the president gets mad at is the big question. I think its important to underscore something that you just said, that this is completely like nothing we have ever seen before and anita is right that Anthony Scaramucci has none of the experien
Night in the georgia sixth district was supposed to be a big, big huge monumental moment for democrats in their effort to resist president donald trump. Guess what . Like with all the other races, turns out to be a major win for the president and a massive huge disappointment and failure for the democrats. The republican candidate, karen handle, beat jon ossoff from the left. He couldnt even vote in the race. Why . He doesnt live in the district. The democrats spent over 30 million trying to help ossoff win. It was the most expensive race in history and they came up short. And the democrats would have been better served if they dig a giant hole and threw their money in or maybe set it on fire. It was a total waste of time. Heres why. Democrats have zip, nothing to offer to you, the American People. Theyre out of touch with you and their ideas are old, tired. Every single thing they tried has failed because they always believe more government is always the solution for all of our proble
