For the fifth straight day now our president huddled in the white house with no open press coverage events on his schedule. he did find time today for an interview with the daily caller, but the president has not been seen in public since announcing that temporary deal to reopen the government on friday in the rose garden. that means no meetings with the congressional negotiators working on that deal to keep the government open past 15 february. trump has been spending a lot of time on his phone. here is a small sample of the more than 40 tweets he s sent out since the weekend including this threat today, and we quote, if the committee of republicans and democrats now meeting on border security is not discussing or contemplating, a lot of proper names here, a wall or physical barrier they are, proper name, wasting their time. his warning seems to have gone unheeded. democrats announced today they will push for a smart, effective border security posture, one that does not rely on cos ....
Russia, north korea, and iran among others. the intel leaders assessments were very different from the picture the president has painted, and he didn t hesitate to point out on twitter multiple times he feels he s been successful in dealing with some of this nation s biggest adversaies while continuing to push for a wall on the southern border. but he was particularly incensed by the intel chiefs conclusion that iran was in compliance with the nuclear deal. the intelligence people seem to be extremely passive and naive when it comes to the dangers of iran. perhaps intelligence should go back to school. those attacks came out just hours before trump had his intelligence briefing in the oval office. what must that have been like? tonight a former cia director who has given those briefings to other presidents weighed in on the gulf between trump and his own appointees, his own intelligence community. i think the best way that you ....
Now he s underwater in utah. i understand that. but when you look at the numbers just amongst republican voters, which will be the only people that will be voting in the primaries, he s still at a 70% to 80% approval rating. so there s not a lot of room at the moment for a challenger. now, anybody who has ambition in that regard will be keeping close eye on those numbers. and the president s got two years now to make his case for re-election. and before he can be reelected you must be renominated. if that were today he s clearly the nominee for the republican party and he will be our representative in the 2020 general election. but everyone s going to keep an eye on those things. and more importantly the president should be thinking about what are the things i need to do every day to build my case that i have made a better america and i deserve another four years? and if he focuses that way, then i think he has a chance to be re-elected. if he is scattered and doesn t have good p ....
Large measure not only just through the grace of god but because we live in this amazing country. and so and i m nerdish enough, brian, and you know i am, to believe that when a president of the united states picks up the phone and calls you you at least have to listen. now, i ve said no multiple times to this president for multiple jobs because i didn t think i either was suited for the job or i just wasn t interested in doing that particular job. so it s not like i ll say yes to anything. and i ve said no to many things. your buddy jared has the only thing i ve said yes is the opioid commission which i feel passionate about and i m glad i did. what have you been successful in changing this president s mind on? going all the way back to the campaign, a number of different things. like convincing him to lay off judge curiel. and knock that stuff off. to lay off the khans. and stop that whole level of assault. a lot of damage was done. sure. and you read in the book it w ....
Big news is it in effect that the president said tonight he s going to follow procedure? that was very notable. especially in the interview with the daily caller tonight. we haven t seen the full transcript yet but the president does seem to very clearly say that he s not going to interfere with the release of the final report. that s contrary to what we ve heard very recently even from his attorney rudy giuliani, who said just in recent days that the legal team would want to correct in his words and somehow alter that final report before it made its way to congress or before it was publicly released. i just want to also caution, though, that this is very first we ve heard from the president really suggesting that this is the direction. we haven t yet heard this backed up by his legal team. and it s still very, very unclear the extent to which this report will actually become public. ....
