and that clock is ticking. and this game i think of trump playing everything either through self aggrandizement is getting increasingly old. it s stale now. all right. tim, thanks very much for that. thank you. thanks to both of you. neera, stick around. president trump used the pen to sign the executive order, almost didn t sign it, by the way, to change health insurance for millions of people and generally not for the better. as if things weren t bad enough for puerto ricans already, the president started insulting puerto rico again. at ally, we offer low-cost trades and high-yield savings. but if that s not enough, we offer innovative investing tools to prepare you for the future. looks like you hooked it. and if that s not enough, we ll help your kid prepare for the future. don t hook it kid. and if that s still not enough, we ll help your kid s kid prepare for the future. looks like he hooked it. we ll do anything.
you know, what jeopardy we re in with the president who cannot be trusted with a nuclear arsenal, not trusted to discharge the duties of his office but they re not willing to do anything about it. yet, max, to your area of specialty in foreign policy, the two most serious issues on the table right now, both involve nuclear. north korea and now we are expecting tomorrow a de-certification or announcement toward the de-certification of the iran deal. we have actually enflamed two areas that are the most serious from a national security perspective. and president trump s aides and handlers understand that what he s doing makes no sense. i mean, you heard that in the way that john kelly talked today about we have to give diplomacy a chance with north korea. he doesn t call the dictator of north korea little rocket man and issue empty threats to raise the risk of a nuclear war and widely reported that president
