you have to tell the truth. and the people feel they are not and with the north koreans for example, subject to miscalculation. neither side wants a conflict but could easily stumble into it because of misstatements and promises not kept. same thing is happening to the president on guns and daca and now on tariffs. the republican parties is not willing to follow him where he wants to go. and that is a stunning statement. anderson, let me just say the thing that is unsettling about this is as serious as a global trade war might be, we are also in this very, very frayed situation with the north koreans and we heard last week that the pentagon was involved in table top exercises simulating various
reassuring americans that trade wars are good and, quote, easy to win. no, sir, they re not. grid lock on guns. as the president dines with leaders of the nra, congress, still at a standstill. admitting they ve got zero plans, zero, to vote on guns. i m going to watch actions instead of words. untangling the web. how a prominent russian politician used his ties to the nra to gain deeper access to american politics and of course our politicians. all right, you know what i m going to begin with. president trump s call for new tariffs which is drawing major criticism from around the globe. and while the u.s. and international markets have been tanking on fears of a trade war, this president said today that trade wars are good and they re easy to win. that is 100% false. i have a great team here to break all of it down. first, i want to explain for you exactly what s going on here. this is something that the president, he s been talking

that we face. we don t talk about it enough. the lines between the trump presidency and the trump business i think are either not there, or they re so blurry they re impossible to see. this is not what we can have in a healthy democracy. julian zelizer, nice to see you. thank you very much. so much to get to today. tonight, jake tapper hosts a cnn town hall on guns. it s calmed stand up: the students of stoneman douglas demand action. officials joining jake tapper include senator marco rubio. he will be taking questions. that s at 9:00 eastern tonight only on cnn. the new york times reporting overnight that jared kushner and white house chief of staff john kelly are feuding over the presidential son-in-law s access to classified info. kushner has held a interim security clearance for more than a year in his role as a senior white house adviser. now the times says kushner doesn t want to give up that access. he s concerned he s a specific target of kelly s overhaufling the c
