About mexico, here is President Trump announcing the cancellation of his meeting with the mexican president in philadelphia today. The president of mexico and myself have agreed to cancel our planned meeting scheduled for next week. Unless mexico is going to treat the United States fairly, with respect, such a meeting would be fruitless and i want to go a different route. We have no choice. So david, was this sort of a mutual agreement, a mutual cancellation, or do you think that the mexican president pulled the plug . I think that the mexican president pulled the plug, and he did that because donald trump frankly put him in a corner. He kept in a tweet sort of pushing mexico saying you know you have to pay for the wall. I think nieto has to worry about his own political audience, mexicans were outraged, angry at
him for months, if we talk this way to china, chinese are not going to stand for china backing down. This is very different from a Business Deal where youre bluffing. Foreign
huge expectations, there is nowhere to go but down. donald trump can now build from this. he has to turn it around. how will he do that? if people start to get jobs, the economy turn around, those numbers will fix themselves. i don t disagree with you politics is always about over-promise, under-achieve. welcome to the show, do you think republicans, joseph, in congress are concerned about those numbers? well, i think as far as the republican base they should not be. because republicans in this poll were very supportive of donald trump. i think republicans in congress are looking at this as somebody who is fulfilling nine out of ten promises he made on the campaign trail. and i think they have to be happy about his performance so far. he is doing what the party wanted him to campaign on and what he in fact promised himself. they are willing to make good on funding the wall and repealing
for a man who cares so much about ratings president trump cannot be happy about the latest polls that we have here. joseph bareli, new york city councilman, and democratic strategist and host of the pod cast working life. i m here. i want to make sure. so you re ganged up tonight i m ganged up on, i handled it before. all right, matt, let s talk about this new poll, only that 36% of americans approve about how he is doing his job, 44% disapprove. how does he turn it around at this point? well, the only people less popular are at this table. so step one, to keep a campaign going and go after the media, that is part of it. look, this will sound you know, hackneyed maybe, but it s an opportunity. if you start off very high with
obamacare. i think we have been reporting here on cnn that he is doing what he said he is going to do. now whether or not these executive orders have teeth, he is doing exactly what he said he is going to do. if not for the self-inflicted wound let s weigh on the analysis. the republicans approve 81%, right? democrats disprove 77%, independent voters, 45%. so far it s not actually you know know his approval ratings and likeability ratings have not been strong for quite sometime. to be honest, i don t think their team cares about p populari popularity, they care about performances and policies and promises. as joseph said look, he campaigned on repealing obamacare and building a wall
