Is enshrined in the constitution with just a stroke of the pen. Before we go any further, we should point out he cannot. More on that in a second. He also said he may order as many as 15,000 active duty troops to the border with mexico. Thats 1,000 more than are deployed in afghanistan. The reason, he says, is the threat from a group of poor Central American migrants, now about 1,000 miles away and coming on foot to seek asylum. Its a dangerous group of people. Theyre not coming into our country. What the president said there on the south lawn, the fact that he said it on a way to a Campaign Appearance in florida is no accident. Both the Migrant Caravan and Citizenship Question are hot button issues for his base. With just six days to Midterm Election, hes chosen to make them the twin pillars of his Closing Argument to voters, which of course hes entitled to do. Hes even entitled to push hot buttons and hes even entitled i suppose to make stuff up. Keeping them honest, thats what hes d

He kicked off his eightstate rally with election day just six days away. We have chief correspondent and special appearance today by john king. Welcome to you, sir. And here to discuss more on the breaking news this afternoon, cara scannel. President trump is blaming don meghan for the moral probe. So tell me what he said. In this final encounter between don meghan, he was focused on this cloud over the presidency. Meghan didnt appoint Robert Mueller but he did cooperate with his investigation. He met with him multiple times, answering questions about muellers desire to fire Robert Mueller himself, to want to pressure Jeff Sessions to recuse himself. So this kind of is part of this big tumultuous relationship that has continued between these men despite meghan getting two Supreme Court justices on the bench for trump. A weird way to end this relationship with mueller fixated on the investigation while hes having his final goodbye chat with meghan. John, you heard her sort of explanatio

It is red state outrage and it is blue state outrage with a question being how in the world was this guy left alone in his cell . As the attorney general said yesterday its shocking the number of procedures that werent followed for a guy that had to be considered, right, the most valuable prisoner in america. It becomes more jaw dropping the more details we hear about how it hap
I guess that bar is so low. Russia interfered with your democracy and mine. The second thing we learned was that donald trump and his Campaign Team happily welcomed that, aggressively welcomed it. They were grateful for it. We also learned that when federal agents tried to investigate this, that one member of the trump team after another member of the trump team lied about those contacts. Then we learned from Robert Mueller that donald trump, the president of the United States lied about the russians trying to infiltrate. Even lies when he was sending back his questions under oath. So we learned that donald trump committed perjury. He lied under oath. Then of course, as we heard there, we heard that american democracy is still, is still under threat from the russians. So just a little night cap for russians who have to be sell rating the fact that the entire Republican Party are useful idiots for them now and have flung open their arms for the russians to come and undermine american de
