moore senate race in alabama and others. as dana said, she was absolutely right, the president, more than anyone else, knows how to use that megaphone in terms of tweeting or going on television. he spent almost an hour in front of the cameras today talking about infrastructure. never mind the message that s been almost completely overshadowed by this mess of their own making. at the beginning of the white house briefing our colleague, jim acosta asked sarah sanders again if he and the white house was tone deaf about this. watch what she said. is there a tone deafness there? is there just being on the wrong side of things? i don t think the president, being on the had the opportunity to talk about it on friday supporting due process for any allegation is not tone deaf. i think it is allowing things to
do you think that s a real threat? that s a possible threat. you remember, we re piling this on top of the already cut taxes for high-income people, big corporations, by almost $2 trillion. so you re going to get we re going to get some extra juice in a very hypocritical way. they attacked obama for doing far smaller, at a time when we really needed it. but i think if you look at the budget document that the president put out today, you re going to be incensed. america is going to see what he proposed. at the same time, there are these massive spending and they used up as much revenue as they did on the tax cut. it cuts medicare by hundreds of billions of dollars, proposes a cut in medicare. it goes back and funds those things in obamacare that donald trump ran on campaigning against, saying they were bailouts for insurance companies. he proposes fully funding that stuff.
porter. the press secretary tried to clean it up a little bit today. but given the president s own words on friday and the tweet that you read, it s just not believable. when the president wants to get a message out, he does it, himself. as i read that tweet i was like, who is he talking about? is he talking about himself? is he talking about rob porter? what exactly is he talking about. jeff zeleny. during the election there were at least a15 women accusing donald trump of sexual assault, odd behavior. this explains a president s window into how he thinks. this is not the first time that this story line has played out here. in fact, sadly, it played out again and again and again during the end of the campaign and indeed since then with the roy moore senate race in alabama and others. as dana said, she was absolutely right, the president, more than anyone else, knows how to use
is he stone-walling to avoid releasing the memo? i m bringing in a washington democrat who sits on the judiciary and budget committees. it s so good to have you on. thank you so much. it s great to be with you, don. the president tweeted about the democrats memo over the weekend. you have seen the memo. do you agree with his take on this? he is basically saying you knew it was going to be it would have to be heavily redacted, that that was sort of the plan there and send it back, bring it in proper form. this is more of his obfuscation and obstruction. everything that was said in the republican memo, the fbi said shouldn t be released and donald trump had no problem releasing it. i did read the democratic memo. i can tell you there is nothing in there that is going to be hugely damaging to our national security. he seems much more concerned about the fbi s opinion on this
budget document that the president put out today, you re going to be incensed. america is going to see what he proposed. at the same time, there are these massive spending and they used up as much revenue as they did on the tax cut. it cuts medicare by hundreds of billions of dollars, proposes a cut in medicare. it goes back and funds those things in obamacare that donald trump ran on campaigning against, saying they were bailouts for insurance companies. he proposes fully funding that stuff. and the infrastructure, which was supposed to be the crown bipartisan jewel, is a net cut of federal spending on infrastructure. it s turning it over to the states. asking them to pay for it. let s see the response. a couple of things. first of all, for austin to talk about the debt, you know with all due respect, austin, you worked for the president who took our debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion.
