who is mostly useless. i would be very when trump came to washington, you said that germans had a tough time understanding trumpish, when he was against nato and for nato, against tar rirs and for tariffs. has it been clarified at all in this merkel scene as having stood up for donald trump? i think the government is still trying to learn trumpish, as i guess most of the western governments are, to get behind what trump is actually meaning when he says words. so what the german government is trying to get in touch with people around him and try to make sense of hiss policies or to figure out if there are policies at all at the moment. and i think the best outcome would be for the time being,
interview that is friendly to lay out what hiss policies are. congressman frank, you ve worked with him. you know him. why is he ducking on policy questions? because he is a combination of a very extreme right wing ideologue and a politician. what he wants to do is unpopular with the american people. some of it has some popularity. what you get from them is if you re wealthy we re going b to cut your taxes substantially. we re going to reduce the capital gains rate. and he says we ll make it up somewhere else. they won t tell you how as you ve noted, because the somewhere else will come from some people. so they ll tell you what they re going to cut. they re going to tell you what they have to increase. and it s clear as the people you ve quoted or talked about. that s going to come from people who are less wealthy.
