is he old or also a luddite, because we get e-mails and we read some of them from our beat viewers and some of them are older, but very sophisticated. very savvy. it s not just grandpa, it s grandpa thinks he s international criminal mastermind but doesn t understand the cloud. it s very funny you say that, because i don t understand why people think that paul manafort is this kind of slick guy at all. like, nick said, he s toast, so he better start making frankly, it s ov him.ite and he s never been smart. he s never been savvy. where does he i think it s the hair and the fillers. that s what give us this image of this man who is worldly and you thinks conned the political class into thinking he s savvier than he is. yes! but let s be host. this man has been caught at every single turn. he has gotten away with absolutely nothing. i take it back, you re not old, you re just not smart.
be as good as we make it be. let s bring in john avlon and april ryan. april on the, on the way back sarah sanders said president trump just doesn t have the time to weigh in on roseanne and the racist comments she made. is that a reasonable excuse? yes. and no. sarah huckabee sanders was smart to pull him away from this. this was strategic that he did not speak about roseanne. either way he could have put his foot in this situation. we have seen what happened in charlottesville. six or seven times. this president could not get it right. we saw his own staff go over fredricka wilson over what
discussing? reporter: the president has a couple of big meetings during the day tomorrow. tonight is just a class photo. they are sitting and have dinner and turn in relatively early. tomorrow he has larry meetings with the prime ministers of india and australia and duterte. the duterte meeting is the most interesting meeting that we are going to be looking for. as we mentioned, whether he publicly condemns what has been a relatively popular campaign here in the philippines. it s worth mentioning that president duterte s approval rating at 80% and now down around 60%. the mantle of the public here support his war on drugs and interesting to see how president trump responds to that. it s not just about the war on drugs. you have to consider trade. what has happened since donald trump and his administration came into office one of the first things they did is pull out of the transpacific partnership and that included countries here in southeast asia. so how that effects what donald
other world leaders gather. the problem is the decision is made by the president, himself. president trump just doesn t seem to have no interest in human rights issues. he went to china and he is cuddling up basically to the president there who is one of the worst human rights abusers on the planet. when turkey visited d.c. his bodyguards beat up people outside the embassy and donald trump didn t say anything and talked about how much he respects erdogan. i m examining the same thing to happen in the philippines. it s disappointing but the dictators that donald trump seems to like the most around the world. you see here the president at the center next to the philippines president rodrigo duterte. eugene, to you. there was that call back in april where the president, the transcript was leaked to. the washington post and new
that you re seeing there. interesting. he said the theme is partnering for change. change is certainly something that many people are looking for from this president, this man you see standing there. matt rivers, what is the hope for president trump and not just for him but for other leaders who are there as to what they can accomplish at this meeting overall as they all give a toast here. sure. reporter: generally speaking, this is like a lot of other summits we see around the world and the criticism doesn t accomplish a lot of tangible things like the criticism of the g-7, the g-20. all leaders get together and take photo op and bilateral meetings and they go home. that is the criticism of this and something to be said personal relationships are created between these leaders that can in in handy during times of crisis.
