him of that statement. they re reminding him that building the border wall was his key campaign promise, so you have some of his allies like ann coulter, shaean hannity on the r waves saying he s caving. he s folding, he s giving in to his last best chance of getting funding for the border wall. the question is will the president go in that direction or will he risk shutting down the government over christmas, which is going to carry its own political risks. so he s really caught between two bad options here. i can tell you that as this day started, some of his allies,ed members of his base were bracing for him to sign that cr. they were infuriated. they were lashing out. now it seems as though the tide may be changing. but again, we aren t hearing from president trump specifically about whether or not he s going to sign that cr. so a will tlot of unanswered qus at this hour. here s the thing, i thought just a few days ago the president said he could get his border wall money from ot
trump to quit it with the putin love thing? so clearly there was an issue with donald trump s position on russia from the beginning from republicans and, you know, given what s going on right now in the world and especiay the situation with the election hacking, it s a situation that we ll see republicans engage with each other on early on. yeah. we aren t hearing from him. it s been like 154 days or something like that since he s done a press conference. what we hear from him via twitter, just half an hour ago or less than half an hour ago, doing my best to disregard the many inflammatory president o statements and roadblocks. thought it was going to be a smooth transition. not. and last night he tweeted, president obama campaigned hard and personally in the very important swing states and lost. the voters wanted to make america great again. katelyn, you ve been writing about him as the twitterer in chief i m guessing. none of this surprises you, but
he s been very latino friendly and immigration friendly and jeb bush knows that he needs to own it. my question is what about the silence of the others? so we see the hand grenades that trump is launching and jeb bush is standing his ground but what about walker? rubio? who is not mexican american, but it latino also and to me silence speaks volumes. so if i don t see these gop candidates come out against donald trump, i m going to assume that they re in line with this what is it? are they scared of him? i mean jonathan we aren t hearing them challenge trump. he s not afraid to go after them. i mean he s not afraid to go after the republicans. listen to some of this the last year of things that he said. just in the last few months. i think bush is an unhappy person. i don t think he has any energy. and i don t see how he can win.
