have. absolutely. and you have to think that members of congress say the same thing. you know? you have people like wonderful paul ryan, man of a jell-o saying the president is a big help. don t you think in private he is saying i he s going to screw up the tax bill? what bothers me not that people say nasty things but lie to the american people saying the opposite. i would like people to have an outbreak of candor so we can determine whether this guy is a menace to national security which i happen to think he is. and, ron klain, hr mcmaster is one of the enemies in steve bannon world and so there is speculation that this kind of story is actually being advanced by the bannon side in the hope to discredit mcmaster within the white house but that doesn t go to the question, the real question of did he really say this? yeah. i think all of that speculation
yeah. reminded of the saturday night live routine of president bannon pulling the strings here. i think, listen. trump has two problems. one, his own past where he has more accusers than roy moore does. it s an unenviable record and if people of alabama do the opposite he will shown to be impotent. they didn t follow the advice on luther strange and not following the advice here he is revealed to be less than all powerful. i think that frightens him probably as much as the revelations about his own past. and, ron klain, here s this crucially important senate election special election and the president of the united states is not in alabama campaigning for the republican. yeah. i mean, he s hiding under his office in the oval office trying to avoid questions. i don t know how he dodges questions for two weeks and clearly has been taken off the

you re if you re allowed the shout just one question in the president s direction, you have to decide is it going to be about him being an idiot or is it going to be about the thing that donald trump fears talking about more than anything else? your thoughts on roy moore, mr. president? do you believe his accusers? thank you. do you believe roy moore s accusers, mr. president? thank you. thank you very much. the president is now saying exactly what steve bannon wants him to say according to a daily beast report saying that bannon has spoke on the the president by phone and discouraged, quote, the president from rejecting or criticizing moore in public statements and so donald trump says, absolutely nothing. of course, any answer donald trump might have given today to a roy moore question would have provoked a mandatory follow-up question of donald trump s own now public admission that he has
