trump s embrace of putin, the fact that they had a good meeting, has this sort of vindicated the russian view that they were right to think that trump would be a better president from russia s point of view than the alternative? i don t think that there was real support for mr. trump and i don t think this is a deep support for mr. trump because now we all know he s handicapped by this kinky inside struggle that you have in your country, that undermines your position in the world and your seat. what we re sure of is the accommodation of neocons and liberal internationalists which would have come with mrs. clinton would have been the worst possible scenario, they would have had to vindicate their defeats they have incurred
all of the economy will benefit. this was slated for us to lose more than six million jobs by 2035, and i think that what the president recognized was this is unsustainable for the united states. it s a bad deal for us, it does nothing to help the environment. and that s the real important key. honest brokers in this debate have to understand x they do understand, this really was just the elite internationalists thinking that they could come up with something that made them look good. and it didn t. it doesn t do anything real for the environment. so we need to get serious about what it is that we re going to do to make the economy work and protect the environment at the same time. elizabeth: all right, blake it s not an if or or. elizabeth: blake, i know you have arguments that this didn t, in fact, hurt economically. no, this didn t hurt economically. we re continuing to transition to a green economy in the united states, and what this did was define america s position and lead
why in the world would any administration try to move to unilaterally lift sanctions? we, america, get nothing out of the deal. the trump team got some things out of the deal during the campaign. that s clear. that s what the deal was. potentially, some people in the trump campaign thought if we can outsource the problem of isis to russia. that test failed. the pentagon looked into that. russia proved totally incapable, untrustworthy. only interested in propping up assad. right now they want to keep their person, assad, in power, embolden iran. iran wants to embolden hezbollah. they re working across the board against our interests. who are jared and ivanka s constituents? the american business community and those hawkish internationalists who believe that russia is not our friend. that used to be called the
it s what it reveals about trums inking. it s been disheartening to internationalists to see trump saying favorable things about le pen because they were hearing from elsewhere niz h administration and his own mouth more traditional rhetoric about europe, the eu, nato. and his talk about le pen pretty clearly showed his hand and deflated a lot of people donald trump is still the same donald trump from the campaign except that he has a team around his trying to steer him in a different direction. he said over the weekend while he was on thement campaign he didn t know that much about nato and how it worked. josh, i want you to put into context for us the market rallying so much is much more about macron than it is le pen. yeah, macron is ahead by 30 points in this polls. so after hillary lost and we all expected her to win people want to look at these things and be like who knows. but it was still within the margin of error.
floor of the george w. bush administration. you know he was criticized for letting neo cons sort of dictate his interventions in foreign policy. who is helping to shape president trump s world view right now? there is a huge inconsistency between the inaugural address and his staff of mattis and mcmaster. who have taken a large role? exactly. he s turned to them as the threats become more serious because there are serious voices in the process. they understand america has to be involved in shapinthese securiircutances or we ll face more horrible circumstances down the road. they re chastened internationalists. they don t want to get into a ground war but understand we have to act from afar. do you see their influence growing? the mattises and mcmasters of the world? yes. there seemed to be a withdrawal from the world in the campaign.
