and publicly. but i will tell you this. there are people who have been in this administration who worked for democrats or gave money to democrats. but all that aside, that really is meant to divert attention from, again, the big issues that america cares about. like i said, cnn chose to go there. i think that s going to be fascinating moving forward. and don t deny that when you just said it must be difficult. i do want you to clarify though for the whole worldwide audience and in fact me, since you raised me. it s quote difficult for whom to have two adults? my point is two adult children who are probably watching right now? no, i didn t say double standard for their mother for two years. this is not about gender. i don t want to have this conversation. you know i don t believe it s about gender. it s not about gender. hold on. there has been a different standard for me than there have been for other people. and we bite our tongue plenty, because i work for the people
his brother. his brother fred, i agree with that. so given that, why would he why would he tweet out, attacking somebody as drunk and drugged up as a negative sort of ad hominem attack, and you won t even say who it is? i don t know who he s referring to there. is it appropriate? is it appropriate for the president of the united states remember, he s he is also defending michael cohen in that tweet, as well. he s saying somebody who doesn t care for michael cohen going and speaking to media sources. should the president just one more on this. the president is going to tweet something like that, shouldn t he own it and explain it. he owns it. he owns everything. then why wouldn t he say who he s talking about? you can read the article and make your own i m sure cnn will talk about it for the next week. i m sure there will be graphics and chyrons and everything else, because after all, this president needs his new secretary of state confirmed so the chief dipl
president has been told he wasn t a target. so i m answering your question in many different ways. absolutely. i didn t take it in a different jurisdiction. the president s own justice department took it another direction. because they got information they felt was important enough, and that a judge felt was important enough to raid his personal attorney s office. dana, all of this, of course, diverts attention and focus away from all the great things this president is doing. and i hope cnn will start to cover that a little bit more. because the american people certainly do like what s going on, including this president, making huge strides in short order, toward denuclearizing and we are going to talk about that. it s a huge issue. in great detail later. you talk about diversions. the president is to blame for some of those diversions with his twitter feed. and one example, i mentioned this, he talked about news media coverage of michael cohen, and in that part of that twe
gender. no, that has nothing to do with my spouse. right. that s why i was just asking. no, no, you just brought him into this. so this ought to be fun moving forward, dana. okay. we re now going to talk about other people s spouses, and significant others, just because they either work in the white house or at cnn? are we going to do that? you just went there. yes. cnn just went there. look, differences of opinion i m not critical. i m just asking it was meant to harass and embarrass. let me just tell you something. absolutely not. let me tell you something. by definition, spouses have a difference of opinion. i would not agree more. by definition, spouses have a different of opinion when one is, i don t know, draining the joint bank account to support things that maybe the other disagrees with. so this is a fascinating cross the rubicon moment. and i ll leave it at that. okay. well, that certainly was not intended to cross any rubicon. it was actually
so years. i m telling you that the president s concern has been for michael cohen and the ways he s been treated. and he has said that again and again in tweets, and again and again with with the cameras rolling with the media in the cabinet room and elsewhere. why is that? i see people go on tv constantly who don t know president trump at all and say he s loyal to one but himself. he stands up for people when he thinks they re being treated unfairly and he s done it again and again. he shows a great sense of loyalty to people whom he thinks is being treated unfairly. but remember, too, this investigation of almost a year was supposed to be about russia collusion. look at all the screaming graphics cnn has invested in. look at the air time and ink spill on this. yes, but you said that people on tv who don t know the president. you are on tv, and you know the president quite well. you work for the president. and you re here on his behalf and behalf of the white house. can you tell me
