decades. he flipped michigan from blue to red. helping him singe the election. he has done a great job. in the face of tremendous opposition. they re helped to flip michigan and we met them days after president trump took office and came back to find out how they think he has done. an a for effort. a b plus. i would say c plus. i give him an a. bill decker owns a factory southwest of detroit. decker is very happy with what he said the president has done for his business. we are growing 25 to 30%. you say president trump gets credit? i would say 90%. we doubled down. doubled down despite concerns
how do you think it went? i think he did a fairly good job. from an optic standpoint i think oh learned. aappeared to be authentic. they ve never done this before. so having now done it for the second time, it seemed like they were a little bit more at home connecting with the audience or connecting with the constituents. overall, i d give it a b plus. that s too bad. do you think it was a do-over from the trip earlier in the week or, if in all fairness he said he didn t want to interfere with any sort of recovery and relief efforts which is why he sort of stayed lands off. i agree with robert. he seemed to show a little bit more compassion. i m not going to criticize the decision that he and the governor made to not go straight into the flood zones during the first trip. that s an issue that should be made locally statewide and
republicans gave it a b plus, independence the sea and democrats after. if you saw the spike when he said they have no message, no vision no agenda republicans completely agree with that and even independents came with it. they don t like he was just focusing on russia last night and it wasn t as good as some of the things he is going to do. heather: people taking back their country, donald trump says the prosecutor should look at hillary s deleted emails. what prosecutors should be looking at our hillary clinton s 33,000 deleted emails. the gop gave him and a. independents a b-and democrats not surprisingly and death. when he goes after hillary clinton it is like him on a from the gods for the republicans. they absolutely respond to it.
with the positive again, i think from an optics standpoint, i give this i give the trump white house a b-plus, a-minus. in terms of the substance we don t know. but in terms of the optics i have to give the white house a solid b-plus for this. i think they did a pretty good job. all right. we ll take a very quick break. but up next, more dangerous clashes as protesters and police face off near the g20 summit. nbc s keir simmons is right in the middle of it all. he joins us when we come back. there s nothing more important to me than my vacation.
these penalties and keeps bringing them back. you have to put points on the board, there s no excuse for it. sherry, is he right to you as well, josh, is he right? you give the president a b-plus and bill said he s got control, the republican party has control of the white house and congress. and he says they need to put points on the board. they need to get legislation done. we do and i agree to his point. we hold the majority in the white house now in congress as well and this is a great time for our president to be an effective leader. to deliver on some of his campaign promises. i m looking forward to what s to come out of the health care bill. i do think personally, that he should consider reforming it. instead of repealing it. i think there are layers there that ought to be changed. but there are layers that can remain. the president s promise was repeal and replace obamacare on day one. on day one. you don t want to see him do that. it sounds like you want to see him w
