guests coming in and out of trump tower. it is like a second white house right now. it really is. it is a manhattan white house in waiting you might say. and donald trump just wrapped up a very important meeting with the japanese prime minister shinzo abe. who just wrapped up his own comments on that meeting just a short while ago here in mid town manhattan. they had a lot to talk about from trade to national security issues in asia. but keep in mind as you also mentioned donald trump has had a number of very interesting at any time lysing encounters throughout the day today. encounters that suggest he knows he has fence mending to do. a signal is being sent that the president elect just might be ready to put the scorched earth campaign behind him and perhaps engage in some healing. in addition to his meetings with foreign policy heavy weights like henry kissinger donald trump has been sitting down with his rivals and critics from the primaries. nikki haley, under considerat ....
heading into the end, though, donald trump, look at this, the foundation of trump support, white voters without a college degree, a whopping 30-point lead on that question. one of the arenreasons this is a total blowout nationally. we didn t just ask voters who they re voting for, we asked them why. a five-point national lead, not a total blowout. one of the reasons it s not bigger than that, who would best handle the economy? donald trump wins on that. the other big issues, hillary clinton a little bit on terrorism, a bit on immigration. what has her campaign been about, saying he s erratic, unfit, temperamentally not fit to be president of the united states. the voters agree, nearly 30 points she wince on the question of which candidate has the best temperament to be president, also wins by 15 points when voters are asked which of these two do you trust to be commander in chief? she s winning on the qualification for the job, if you will, even though she trails on the economy. t ....

while 30% say it has given them a less favorable one. 61% said it had no impact. and finally, this is the most troubling number 46% said they feel that president trump fired comey to slow down the russia investigation. and 38% buy the original explanation from the white house, that it was done over legitimate concerns over how comey handled the hillary clinton e-mail issue. and there s a report that a frustrated president trump is considering firing many of his top white house aides. it adds up to a week, at best, the administration has a communications problem. or at worst, it is facing accusations of obstruction of justice. i was going to fire comey. donald trump contradicted his white house aides and his vice president, adding to questions as to why the president chose to fire fbi director james comey when he did. no one from the white house. that was a d.o.j. decision. he took the recommendation but the president needs to back off and let the investigation go forwa ....
