his entire presidency his approval rating is in this very narrow band. high 30s and low to mid-40s. it is back into the mid-40s right now. compare where he stands right now with his predecessors at this same point of, you could see reagan and carter and reagan won re-election and the trump people think of that as a model and the two bushes there were wars going on at this point in their presidency. but here is the big difference between trump and all of these predecessors and all of the modern predecessors, carter, reagan, obama, both bushes, all of them at some point by now had been here or higher in the approval rating. even briefly they had shown the ability at some point as president to reach across that divide and get well over majority of the country to be behind them. it was brief in some cases but they all dared at some point and trump has never done it and what it tells me is you look at the past presidents and the different paths, some of them to
spike lee. tweeting this, be nice if spike lee could read his notes or better yet not have to use notes at all when doing his racist hit on your president who has done for more african-american and criminal justice and lowest unemployment numbers in history and tax cuts et cetera than any other president. he was reacting to the spike lee acceptance speech during last night s oscars that made no direct mention of the president. what did he say that got under trump s skin? that is coming up next. all your worst symptoms, including nasal congestion, which most pills don t. and all from a gentle mist you can barely feel. flonase sensimist.
promising according to his lawyer to expose chilling new details about the president. cohen already revealed the true duration and scope of the president s efforts to build a trump tower in moscow which he tried to cover up to false statements to congress. in pleading guilty to those lies cone said i made these misstatement to be consistent with trump s political messaging. he then implicated the president in what could be a felony admitting he, quote, acted in coordination and at the direction of trump. and in caringy out a scheme to break campaign finance laws to two women not speaking about liaisons. he said he had blind loyalty to donald trump and time and time again i felt it was my duty to cover up his dirty deeds. but while cohen is set to start a three-year prison sentence the investigation by the southern district of new york continues and among other things
president trump is on a 21-hour flight to vietnam but before he left washington he gave his twitter followers a preview of what is on his mind ahead of the big summit with kim jong-un. president trump tweeting out, former senator harry reid, he got thrown out, is working hard to put a good spin on his failed career. he led through lies and deception only to be replaced by another beauty crying chuck schumer. some things just never change. that tweet came minutes after cnn aired an interview with the now retired nevada democrat in that interview reid tells the network he has trouble accepting trump as a person and that is not all he said. in hindsight, i wish every day for a george bush again. i think that he and i had our differences but no one questioned his patriotism. and reid isn t the only person to rub the president the wrong way. lashing out at film director
transgender band and troops now dealing with what trump did via tweet and changing that policy. but donald trump we have to remember he just left and going to go do headline. he wants a win so he is distracting us. what are we going to talk about? cohen, mueller and talk about his fake national emergency that the house is going to rebuke. there s a long list of things that he s going to be away from the country that he does not want us to talk about, so i do think, i mean we have harry reid. you have spike lee, a lot of it is all connected. it is a distraction he does not want us to talk about because he s so worried. what did you make of it? in isolation, the president of the united states going on twitter and saying this would be shocking but it is par for the course. it is baffling to me because for him, for him spike lee was astonishingly restrained in fact. did not mention him by nad.
