of events and the president s handling? it s a u.s. domestic issue, so you re not finding governments around the world making comments but it, but put yourself in the position of theresa may fighting an election, she was actually meeting with president trump the day before about that dinner with the fbi chief james comey. she was embarrassed by president trump immediately after that trip because of the travel ban that reflected badly on her quick to form a strong relationship with him and now she s in an election campaign. this issue comes up and you have the leader of the opposition who frankly isn t doinging very well here, but he is lambasting the prime minister again for her relationship with president trump saying that britain shouldn t acquiesce its security to the united states, ie, we ll have a good relationship, but it won t the relationship the prime minister wants. it s critical that the prime minister take in the opportunity of what has happened to
level, it will be listened to and appreciated. do you think donald trump has mastered that? i think donald trump would agree with that statement. you know, we may make him a book. reporter: lewis still strongly supports trump. he s not bothered by the president s tweets seeming to threaten comey. but lewis acknowledges some of trump s antics are starting to wear thin. it bothers me a little bit. i mean, i think he d be better served if he were more presidential, if you take the high road and more presidential. reporter: but your faith in him is still solid? yeah, he s a businessman and that s what the country needs a i voted for him and i d vote for him again. reporter: canton, texas sits in the heart of van zandt county, the antique shopping capital of the world, where donald trump won 85 respect about of the vote. we found support still runs strong. carol runs her own antique shop and this exchange with her
isolation and if that is indeed the case, if that how much more problematic that makes it for his leadership of the white house, leaderhip of the republican party. at least in the case of this week, it s self-inflicted. i mean everything that rolled out this week was this unique combination in the trump administration of uberous and inexperience or even if you want to say amateur hour. even if you were going to fire director comey which no matter what would cast a cloud of suspicion, why go out there and hang everything one day on the rod rosenstein memo and then the next day directly contradict that and suggest all but say to lester holt that president trump wanted to do this related to what he feels is a bogus russia investigation. but here is the catch. to your question in terms of the politics, he s still at 41% in the gallup daily tracking which is not much different from where he started on inauguration day. he s always been between 45% and
administration, and judge michael garcia who works in the court of appeals in new york city. so a lot of work in the president to do before he heads out on a big overseas trip. thank you so much. so this whirlwind questions, contradictions, doubts and answers swirling around the white house this week starting with the dismissal of the fbi director james comey. and then ending with president trump publicly threatening comey in a tweet. jeff zeleny has the latest. reporter: president trump adding new fuel to the fire today in his escalating fight with the fbi. making a veiled threat on twitter to james comey. the president saying the fired fbi director better hope that there are no tapes of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press. stunning words from the commander in chief directed at the nation s former top law enforcement official. the man who was leading an investigation into potential collusion between the trump campaign and russian operatives
to pledge his loyalty and he instead promised to always be honest with the president. in fact fbi employees pledged to be loyal only to the u.s. constitution, not to any individual including the president. all of us in the fbi are focused, hyper focus is on faility to the mission, not faility to a poll tesch shn, not faility to any person. reporter: the president claims coq assured mr. trump that he was not under investigation related to the russian probe and that coq asked him to keep him on as fbi chief. a course says that comey did not ask to keep his john and just three days earlier trump told coq he would stay on.n and just three days earlier trump told coq he would stay on.bn and jus three days earlier trump told coq he would stay on. and just three days earlier trump told coq he would stay on. and he s not worried about any taped recordings of their
