about our opposition. and we were also able to show that we had connected with the need of the people. and now, we are in the process, as i said, to get together. with other forces, in order to get the majority. and i think that people realize that we need to have a strong, parliamentary branch in a system that is very unbalanced. the system are putting the president as like the presidential monarch. and the french people don t like montague that much. so we went to do that if possible. and we proved it with the screw. and now, it s possible actually to prevent mr. emmanuel macron to actually out power the majority in the national how do you think that would help people? would it be like gridlock, if you have two sanction post visions? or what is his aim if his party does get a big enough victory in the assembly in order for him to be the prime minister? we re well, we aim to actually implement our platform. which was about facing the
that he wanted to have here in washington for his own inauguration. once macron told him what this event would really be like, trump got excited and decided he wanted to go. there you have it for the benefit of mr. kite, it has all those ingredients. this might be a foreign trip to watch. yeah, it s going to be fascinating. you know, trump has been very derisive about france as phil pointed out. there s a great line, france isn t france anymore. he describes a sort of dystopia in paris where sharia law has run amok and there are portions of paris you can t go into because they re too dangerous and it s sharia, martial law. he seems to detest modern france but the feeling is quite mutual. the recent pew global attitudes poll show trump has a 14% approval rating in france. so some of those le pen voters do like him, but overall, the french people don t. and macron in many ways has
he want me because from day one i wanted a strong military. he doesn t want to see that. from day one, i want fracking and everything else to get energy prices low and to create tremendous energy. he doesn t want that. he would like hillary. she wants to have windmills. okay? he would much rather have that. there are many things i do that are the exact opposite of what he would want. when i hear he would have rather had trump, i think probably not. in fact, the president told reuters he had one regret about an omission when he sat down to meet with putin. it s really the one question i wish i would have asked putin. were you actually supporting me? also today at the white house, they continued to support don junior s contention that his father didn t know about the russia meeting in trump tower last june. they contend he only learned about it recently. but in the face of that, there s this. donald trump speaking on june because it s still the story,
look like for this white house right about now? a boring trip to paris? i think a boring trip to paris. one where they don t step on any sbrshl international land mines. this should be easy. this is the u.s. president meeting with the french president. this should be easy breezy. but as we ve seen in the past, particularly his first international trip, the area you would have traditionally thought was fraught with turmoil, the middle east, israel, he breezed right through. it was europe that tripped him up, germany where he struggled. he was just in poland, did a bit better there. i think that this could be a fraught meeting and i do also think too that he s going to be on macron s turf. the french knew that he had just been in europe for the g20. they invited him to go back to washington, turn right back around. i think maybe there s a little bit of needling there. oh, you just got home. why don t you come back with
because it has changed the direction and scope of the investigation and it s still germane, take us back as a result of your reporting. what was going on at that time that week, that day? yeah, so this was a really critical moment in the campaign. it was as the primaries were transitioning into the general election. donald trump had become effectively the republican nominee but had not yet secured the nomination. there was all this talk about a delegate fight at the upcoming convention. but he was behind hillary clinton in the polls. he was getting hit by her. he was underfunded. he didn t have the political organization in place. he didn t have any kind of a research team in place. and so he was his campaign was desperate for any advantage they could seize against hillary clinton. and that is one of the reasons people who worked on the campaign explained why don junior was so eager to take that meeting to potentially get some opposition research about hillary clinton even if it ca
