President trump will take his this hour, the president scheduled to appear in the eastern room of the white house for a News Conference roughly 30 minutes from now. Today hes already touted himself as the magic man for last nights senate wins. Never mind losing the house, though. President trump also had a message for the Incoming Democratic majority in the house. Investigate me . We investigate you. We also heard from Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell just a few moments ago. The Democrats In The House will have to decide just how much president ial harassment they think is good strategy. Today is more than about democrats and republicans, its about restoring the constitutions checks and balances to the trump
administration. One of the first orders of business that i think that d
will the president ever understand that the presidents we tend to wish to emulate and the ones we commemorate are the ones who simply don t govern for their base. they do reach out. they do surprises. nixon goes to china. harry truman from missouri who had a great aunt who wouldn t come to the white house because there was a lincoln bedroom in it integrates the military. lyndon johnson from a segregated state finishes the work of jim crow. those are the presidents we remember. ronald reagan ends the cold war after being a ferocious anti-soviet. and so i don t think he s capable of this, but if we had five minutes with him, i think what you want to explain is you and nancy pelosi and mitch mcconnell can fix up what people are going to think when we look at your oil portrait. you don t want us to look at it
