Trump appears to undermine Tillerson's efforts to resolve N. Korea nuclear issue - Duration: 1:55.
Our top story this afternoon...
U.S. President Donald Trump is continuing to goad North Korean leader Kim Jong-un,…
telling his Secretary of State Rex Tillerson not to waste time negotiating with Pyongyang.
Our Ji Myung-kil has more.
In a series of tweets on Sunday,...
President Trump appeared to undercut his own Secretary of State's diplomatic efforts to
resolve the nuclear standoff with North Korea Using his nickname for Kim Jong-un, Trump
said: "I told Rex Tillerson, our wonderful Secretary
of State, that he is wasting his time trying to negotiate with Little Rocket Man.
Save your energy Rex, we'll do what has to be done "
President Trump's comments came a day after Tillerson revealed the U.S. was directly communicating
with North Korea on its nuclear and missile programs but that Pyongyang had shown no interest.
During a trip to China,... Tillerson said Washington was probing North Korea to see
whether it was interested in dialogue and that it had a couple of channels open to talk
with Pyongyang.
Later Sunday evening... Trump took to Twitter again,... adding: "Being nice to Rocket Man
hasn't worked in 25 years, why would it work now?
Clinton failed, Bush failed, and Obama failed.
I won't fail."
Not long after Trump's final tweet on the matter,...
State Department Spokesperson Heather Nauert confirmed that diplomatic channels are open
for now but won't be open forever.
It's unclear how successful diplomatic communications will be in curbing North Korea's nuclear ambitions...
since the leaders of both countries have been locked in an escalating war of words.
North Korea has continued to test missiles and is threatening to explode a hydrogen bomb
over the Pacific Ocean and shoot down U.S. military aircraft off its coast.

I want to look like Melania Trump! - Duration: 3:01.
Since Melania Trump became the first lady, there have been several reports of women who've
gone under the knife in an effort to look like her.
Most of those cases have been strictly about vanity, but the most recent case may pull
a little at your heartstrings.
Claudia Sierra, a 42-year old breast cancer survivor and former abuse victim, recently
spent almost $50,000 to transform her "frail" body into one that resembled Melania Trump's.
The mother-of-two underwent a lumpectomy and chemotherapy treatment, which eventually eradicated
her cancer, but the invasive treatments took a toll on her body.
And after she recovered, she wasn't happy with her appearance anymore.
Overcoming a life-threatening illness, but being left with a body you're not proud
of is enough to get anyone down in the dumps.
Unfortunately, Claudia's issues with self-esteem started early in her childhood and are deeply
rooted.
According to Claudia, boys used to make fun of her because she was darker than her classmates
and had a larger nose.
Because of this, Claudia took drastic measures to alter her appearance, like taping her nose
down and trying to scrub off some of her color.
Those childhood wounds followed Claudia her well into her adult years, but the negative
effect the cancer treatment had on her body was the last straw.
Her breaking point came when the first man that she dated post-recovery told her that
she looked too old for her age.
"This year when I was dating a man, he asked me for my driver's license, when I gave
it to him he told me I looked a lot older than 41-years-old and that was the last straw,"
said Claudia.
Claudia then enlisted the services of Dr. Franklin Rose of Utopia Plastic Surgery who
performed a breast augmentation, a tummy tuck, liposuction, Brazilian butt lift, eyelid lift,
as well as a few more procedures last month, all in an effort to recreate Melania Trump's
look.
If you're wondering why Claudia chose Melania's look over other public figures, it's because
she feels connected to her.
"I wanted to have a polished structured look like Melania Trump, she is very glamorous
and I like that, I didn't want to appear as a frumpy, typical-soccer mom like before."
"I feel like the First Lady and I are very alike too, everyone puts her down yet she
remains a powerful, strong woman and that's what I want people to see in me."

Saturday Night Live' Season 43 Opens With Alec Baldwin's Triumphant, Scathing Return as Donald Trump - Duration: 3:51.
Saturday Night Live' Season 43 Opens With Alec Baldwin's Triumphant, Scathing Return
as Donald Trump
Alec Baldwin isn't done lampooning President Donald Trump.
Saturday Night Live came out swinging once again with a politically charged cold open
that saw Baldwin return to the guest star role that earned him a lot of love last season
as the show tried to catch up on all the Trump news they missed between seasons.
The sketch kicked things off with Trump making a call to Carmen Yulín Cruz, the mayor of
San Juan, Puerto Rico, where he revealed that he didn't know Puerto Rico was a state, and
then explained that "FEMA takes a few days unless you pay for FEMA Prime."
The sketch also reunited Baldwin with Kate McKinnon – only this time the Emmy-winning
cast member didn't break out her acclaimed impression of Hillary Clinton, but instead
brought out her brilliant Jeff Sessions impression
When McKinnon played Sessions last season, she played him like an analog for Forrest
Gump – bringing that energy (along with a smile like one of the Whos from Whoville),
she presented an impish, playful Sessions who sat on Trump's lap like his son, and even
gave Trump a kiss on the head after getting scolded.
While the sketch was a little all over the place (and considering how much ground they
had to cover, it's not a surprise), the best point Baldwin's Trump made was when he explained
the truth behind all the craziest scandals to come out of the White House in recent weeks.
"Trust me, it may sound like what is coming out of my mouth is B-A-N-A-N-A-S, but it's
all part of the plan.
The more chaos I cause, the less people can focus.
They're all getting so tired," Trump explained to Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders
(played by Aidy Bryant).
"Let me show you.
How long ago did I declare war on North Korea and Little Rocket Man?"
"Um, four months?"
Sanders replied.
"Wrong!
It was last Friday!
See?" Trump shot back.
After winning a score of Emmys and some of the best ratings in years for their election
year season, it's no surprise that they're keeping that momentum going with the season
premiere, but it was nice to see Baldwin come back – if not simply to spare us from having
to watch the current cast parade their attempts at a new Trump impression.

Trump's Hypocrisy Problem: Private Planes, Private Emails, And Public Humiliation - Duration: 4:28.
When Donald Trump was campaigning to be President of the United States, the phrase drain the
swamp became one of the centerpieces of that campaign.
It's something that Republicans, Trump supporters on Twitter still tweet out when talking to
the President, about the President.
They really believe that he has drained the swamp in Washington, D.C.
So, let's take a good hard look at what that newly drained swamp looks like.
Well, it looks a hell of a lot like American taxpayers have paid $300,000 for Health and
Human Services Secretary, Tom Price, to fly on private jets zipping all around this country.
$300,000 at the expense of U.S. taxpayers to spend his time on private jets.
The most recent one was a trip to Nashville from D.C. that cost taxpayers a little over,
I think, $17,000, because Tom Price is too good to fly commercial.
He's got to take those private jets for whatever the hell it is he's doing.
Scott Pruitt at the EPA is doing the same thing.
They're out there taking both personal trips and business trips on private jets at the
expense of U.S. taxpayers.
That's not exactly draining the swamp.
What it is draining are the federal government's cash reserves, because not only are they spending
our tax dollars, but you're also trying to cut taxes for the wealthy, so there's going
to be even less, fewer tax dollars for these guys to spend on private jets.
But I'm sure the Trump administration will find a way to pay for more of these flights,
possibly by killing Medicaid and after-school programs and things like that.
You know, those aren't as important as having your idiots that work for you fly around in
private jets.
But private jets aren't the only problem.
Another centerpiece of the Trump campaign was lock her up.
Remember that chant that Republicans would say at the Trump rallies in reference to Hillary
Clinton for using a private email account?
Well, as it turns out, we now have no fewer than six people within the Trump administration
who have been caught using private email accounts for official government work, a move that
is potentially illegal, depending on the expansion and the definition of the Presidential Records
Act.
If they're running any campaign issues through their personal email accounts on White House
equipment, that would be a violation of the Hatch Act.
So far there's no indication that either one of those Acts have been violated.
But what has been violated is our right as American citizens to not have such a hypocritical
President and administration in office.
They wanted to put Hillary Clinton behind bars forever because she used a private email
account, and now six people, including two members of Trump's own family, have been busted
doing the same thing.
That is one of the ... I mean, that's the height of hypocrisy at this point.
That's what we're living in and they don't seem to see a problem with it.
Yeah, technically, what these people are doing is not illegal, but when you made your entire
campaign about one woman using a private email while she worked in the federal government,
then six of your people turn around and do the same thing, you have a very real problem
on your hands, Mr. President, because you're the one who made this an issue.
Donald Trump has suffered public humiliation after public humiliation.
Really, in the last week alone, he got trounced by the NFL, his candidate du jour of Alabama
lost, and so he had to go back and delete all those tweets supporting him.
The private plane issue is now under investigation by Congress, and damn near everybody in his
administration's trying to use private emails to conduct official White House business.
And this is all, folks, in the span of one very bad week for President Trump.

Donald Trump's WAR threat: 'There's no point negotiating with little rocket man' Kim - Duration: 2:45.
Donald Trump's WAR threat: 'There's no point negotiating with little rocket man' Kim
President Trump cast aside the prospect of peace talks in dramatic fashion this afternoon. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said yesterday that Washington had reached out to Pyongyang in a bid to calm the recent war of words.
But in a flurry of tweets from his New Jersey golf course, Mr Trump said Tillerson is "wasting his time trying to negotiate with little rocket man". "Save your energy Rex, we'll do what has to be done," he added.
DISMISSAL: Donald Trump has shrugged off the idea of negotiating with North Korea.
It comes despite Tillerson telling a conference in China that Washington's "objective is not to get rid of North Korea". But the hermit kingdom seems to be paying more attention to the President, labelling him an "old psychopath" this morning.
And Kim Jong-un claimed the US leader is hell-bent on the "suicidal act of inviting a nuclear disaster that will reduce America to a sea of flames".
Over the summer, Kim tested several nukes and missiles – some of which are capable of striking the US mainland.
The development comes after the rogue state released propaganda images to prepare Kims people for conflict. Posters warned of a coming "great and decisive war against America", urging North Koreans to prepare for battle.
Citizens in the capital Pyongyang were snapped pasting the propaganda messages on all public places to hammer Kims point home. Fears of a conflict in the region reached boiling point recently after President Trump warned he would "totally destroy" Kims regime.
He described the tubby tyrant as a "rocket man on a suicide mission" in a barnstorming debut speech at the UN. And the state responded by stressing their right to nuclear weapons, labelling Trump "deranged" in the process.

BREAKING: Governor of U.S. Virgin Islands Rises Up, Issues Shocking Trump Message |Top Stories Today - Duration: 3:26.
As we speak, Democrats and the mainstream media are trying to turn the situation in
Puerto Rico into President Donald Trump's version of Hurricane Katrina.
Well, one Caribbean leader is not going along with media's script.
According to Newsmax, Governor Kenneth Mapp of the U.S. Virgin Islands released a public
statement that reaffirmed President Trump's commitment to the territory.
It read, "President Donald J. Trump, his White House team, the Federal Emergency Management
Agency and our other federal partners have given us tremendous support."
Governor Mapp thanked others for their help, including US Virgin Islands native and NBA
star Tim Duncan.
However, Governor Mapp was also quick to point out that his territory still needs a lot of
work.
The governor's statement included a direct request for more private aid money, which
read, "We still need a great deal of help and I am asking all of our friends in the
U.S. Congress for help and to support www.usvirecovery.org so we may rebuild America's paradise, known
as the U.S. Virgin Islands," he said.
"If there was ever a time that the four million American citizens living in the Virgin
Islands and Puerto Rico need your help, it is now."
In reviewing the damage suffered by the US Virgin Islands, it is not hard to see why
money and aid is still needed.
Thanks to Hurricanes Irma and Maria, many citizens in the US Virgin Islands are still
without power, shelter, food, or clean drinking water.
More than 100,000 residents have been rendered homeless thanks to these natural disasters.
Many have reported that Irma and Maria have set the infrastructure of the US Virgin Islands
back by decades.
However, according to Governor Mapp, the USVI are already on the road towards recovery thanks
to the hard work of the Trump administration, which has already been hit by three major
hurricanes this year.
As bad as Puerto Rico is right now, the damage it sustained due to Hurricane Maria was on
par with what the USVI suffered.
There are some key differences that explain why the media is so quick to talk about Puerto
Rico — and not the US Virgin Islands.
On the one hand, Puerto Rico is a larger island, and is more densely populated.
There are also far more Puerto Ricans living stateside than Virgin Islanders.
More importantly, prior to the hurricane, Puerto Rico was in terrible shape.
Thanks to decades of corruption and kleptocratic governments, San Juan has an awful infrastructure
and its social services were already at the breaking point before Maria made landfall.
Also, for years, Puerto Rico's economy has been in the red and has required numerous
American bailouts.
While it may not be good "optics" for him to say it, President Trump is correct
in characterizing Puerto Rico as a mess long before the hurricane came.
Hopefully, the ongoing recovery in the U.S. Virgin Islands will be repeated in Puerto
Rico.
It is clear though, that San Juan needs a lot of help, and Washington, D.C. may be getting
tired of constantly bailing out Puerto Rico.
U.S. Virgin Islands Governor pleased with support from FEMA and White House.
Is Trump getting a bad rap from his hurricane response?
what do you think about this?

Trump Jr. Cancelled Secret Service Protection So He Could Go Kill A Moose - Duration: 4:17.
Awhile back when it was announced that Donald Trump, Jr. would be giving up his Secret Service
detail protection, there were a lot of rumors swirling as to why Trump Jr. would no longer
want Secret Service around him to protect him.
One of the things many people had thought was that was cause he didn't want the Secret
Service to overhear any kind of secretive conversations that he was having.
But as it turns out, the truth is a lot less sinister than that.
In fact, the truth has more to do with Donald Trump, Jr.'s insecurity as a man than it does
about any kind of scandalous behavior because reports are now saying that Donald Trump,
Jr., the reason he wanted to get rid of his Secret Service detail, was cause he wanted
to go hunting in Canada to kill what he killed what he called, "A very big moose."
This little man, this little insecure man, wanted his Secret Service out of the way so
that he could go into the wilderness and kill a very large docile animal without the animal
ever seeing him or having a chance to fight back.
Because that's the kind of man that Trump Jr. really is.
He has to go out and kill something bigger than him, something that could potentially
be dangerous, just so that he can feel like a real guy for a few minutes.
Because for some reason, his anatomy, maybe his hormone levels, maybe they're just not
quite right, and he doesn't feel like a dude when he walks around.
So he decides to go kill a thing.
He didn't want the Secret Service there because then it becomes a whole ordeal.
The press is there because they notice all the Secret Service.
Maybe the Secret Service blabs to the press.
He didn't want that.
Since that big hunting trip occurred, Trump Jr. has now had his Secret Service detail
reinstated.
I know a lot of people are okay with hunting.
I'm okay with hunting if you're out hunting for actual food and you're gonna use it.
Killing an animal for fun, that's not something I'm ever okay with.
In fact, psychologists will tell you that's one of the traits of a psychopath.
That is pretty much what Donald Trump Jr. is.
He loves to travel around the world and kill big game animals because again makes him feel
like a man for a few seconds, maybe even a few days.
But there is something missing from his life, from his brain, possibly from his own hormone
levels, that is preventing him from being able to feel accomplished, from feeling complete.
He's trying to fill that hole by going out there and killing things larger than him.
There is something psychologically wrong with this man.
I know we've spent a lot of time talking about Trump Sr.'s psychological problems, but I
think it's time we also focused on little Jr. because whatever Trump Sr. is suffering
from, Jr. is suffering from it to an exponential level.
This is not normal behavior.
This is not what a rational thinking son of a president goes out and does.
Basically fires the Secret Service for a few days so he can go out and kill a moose up
in Canada.
Something's wrong here.
If we are beyond past time to get these idiots out of the White House, so we don't have to
deal with crap like this anymore.
You know, I'm getting tired of talking about Trump and his idiotic family and the stupid
things they do and the harm they're inflicting upon America.
It's up to Congress at this point to do something, to act on it, to get these people out of office
so we can work on actually rebuilding this country and start talking about issues that
actually matter.
Instead of having to waste time talking about psychopath Jr. going out and wanting to hunt
a moose so I can feel like big, strong man for a few minutes.

Trump Taking Healthcare On By Himself - Duration: 9:24.
SENATE REPUBLICANS FAILED TO PASS THE REPEAL EFFORT OR A
REPLACEMENT FOR THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT WITH A SIMPLE MAJORITY,
AND TRUMP CLAIMS THAT THEY ARE GOING TO TRY THEIR HAND AT THIS
AGAIN NEXT YEAR, AND THAT THEY ESSENTIALLY HAVE ENOUGH VOTES TO
MAKE IT HAPPEN, ALTHOUGH WE ALL KNOW THAT'S NOT THE CASE.
THEY
COULDN'T EVEN PASS IT WITH A SIMPLE MAJORITY.
SPEAKING TO THE
PRESS, TRUMP SAID THAT HE WILL TAKE MATTERS INTO HIS OWN HANDS
WHEN IT COMES TO ONE PARTICULAR ISSUE IN REGARD TO HEALTHCARE --
HE WANTS TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO BUY HEALTH INSURANCE ACROSS
STATE LINES.
I'M CONSIDERING AN EXECUTIVE ORDER ON ASSOCIATIONS AND THAT
WILL TAKE CARE OF A TREMENDOUS NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH REGARD TO
HEALTHCARE, AND I'LL PROBABLY BE SIGNING A VERY MAJOR EXECUTIVE
ORDER WHERE PEOPLE CAN GO OUT ACROSS STATE LINES AND BUY THEIR
OWN HEALTHCARE, AND THAT WILL BE PROBABLY SIGNED NEXT WEEK, IT'S
BEING FINISHED NOW.
THE REST OF HIS QUOTE WAS IT'S GOING TO COVER A LOT OF
TERRITORY AND A LOT OF PEOPLE, MILLIONS OF PEOPLE.
I'LL PROBABLY BE SIGNING A VERY MAJOR EXECUTIVE ORDER.
THAT
WILL ALLOW PEOPLE TO CROSS STATE LINES, DO A LOT OF THINGS.
BUT I MEAN, I'LL PROBABLY --
WHAT KIND OF PRESIDENT SAYS I'LL PROBABLY DO ANYTHING?
WHAT KIND OF PRESIDENTS AS DO A LOT OF THINGS?
I'LL PROBABLY BE SIGNING -- THEN SIGN IT.
YOU ARE THE
EXECUTIVE.
IT'S NOT JUST A MAJOR ORDER, IT'S A VERY MAJOR ORDER.
IT'S VERY MAJOR.
LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE RAMIFICATIONS OF THIS
EXECUTIVE ORDER, IF IT'S FOUND TO BE ONE THAT COULD EVEN BE PUT
INTO EFFECT, BECAUSE THERE'S A BIG QUESTION MARK IN REGARD TO
WHETHER THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CAN GET INVOLVED IN THE
REGULATIONS THAT STATES HAVE INSURANCE COMPANIES.
AS YOU GUYS
KNOW, REGULATIONS VARY STATE-BY-STATE.
SOME OF THE RED
STATES HAVE WAY LESS REGULATIONS FOR PRIVATE INSURANCE, SOME OF
THE BLUE STATES HAVE STRICTER REGULATIONS.
SO WHEN YOU CREATE
A SYSTEM WHERE PEOPLE CAN BUY INSURANCE ACROSS STATE LINES,
WHAT DO YOU THINK INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE GOING TO DO?
THEY
ARE GOING TO STATES WHERE THERE ARE THE LEAST REGULATIONS AND
IT'S GOING TO BE A RACE TO THE BOTTOM.
LESS REGULATIONS MEAN
THAT US THE CONSUMER GET SCREWED OVER.
THAT'S ONE REASON YOU
AREN'T ALLOWED TO BUY ACROSS STATE LINES, IT GIVES STATES
MORE SAY IN HOW THE COMPANIES ARE RUN.
IF IT MERELY GIVES PEOPLE MORE CHOICE ON THE SURFACE IT SEEMS
--
ON THE SURFACE IT SEEMS GREAT.
BUT BECAUSE THEY ARE DOING IT I'M SURE IT ISN'T.
THAT'S A JOKE BUT IT ISN'T.
IT'S SO AT ODDS WITH THE LEGISLATION THEY JUST TRIED TO
PASS.
HE SAYS WE WILL PASS SOMETHING NEXT YEAR -- THE RULES
CHANGE NEXT YEAR.
THE REASON THEY ARE HURRYING IT FOR
SATURDAY IS THAT BECAUSE THEY WILL NEED 60 SENATORS AFTER
SATURDAY, HE WON'T HAVE 60 SENATORS, DEMOCRATS AREN'T GOING
TO COME FLOCKING TO GRAHAM CASSIDY AFTER THIS IS DONE.
THIS
IS AT ODDS WITH THAT BILL, IT'S SO HAPHAZARD THE WAY THIS
GOVERNMENT IS BEING RUN.
I MADE LIGHT OF IT, BUT HE SAYS HE WILL
CROSS STATE LINES TO BUY INSURANCE, DO A LOT OF OTHER
THINGS, WHO KNOWS WHAT THOSE ARE?
HE CLEARLY DOESN'T.
HERE'S THE THING ABOUT TRUMP IN THIS HEALTHCARE DEBATE.
HE
HAS BEEN BULLYING GOP SENATORS WHO REFUSED TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF
IT BECAUSE THEY ARE ACTUALLY SHOCKINGLY CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR
CONSTITUENTS AND WHAT THEIR CONSTITUENTS WANT, BUT AT THE
SAME TIME TRUMP IS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY OF THESE DISCUSSIONS AT
ALL. AND WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THESE
PROPOSALS INCLUDE, HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW IT WORKS, ALL HE WANTS
IS A LEGISLATIVE WIN.
HE HASN'T PORED OVER STUDIES, HOW IT MIGHT
IMPACT CONSUMERS OR HOW IT MIGHT NEGATIVELY IMPACT AMERICANS WHO
NEED INSURANCE, DOESN'T CARE ABOUT ANY OF THAT, DOESN'T KNOW,
ISN'T INTERESTED.
HE'S TOO BUSY TWEETING AT FIVE IN THE MORNING
AFTER WATCHING WHATEVER CABLE NEWS SHOW HE'S WATCHING.
AND
THAT'S THE THING, HE IS PLAYING WITH PEOPLE'S LIVES AND
SIMULTANEOUSLY BULLYING LAWMAKERS WHO HAVE AT LEAST
SOME KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT THEY ARE VOTING ON.
THERE ARE 48 DEMOCRATIC SENATORS AND HANDFUL OF HER
PUBLIC AND SENATORS WHO WOULD I PRESUME BE INTERESTED IN FIXING
OBAMACARE AND BOLSTERING IT IN PLACES IT NEEDS TO BE BOLSTERED.
LAMAR ALEXANDER AND PATTY MURRAY WERE WORKING ON IT UNTIL
THEY SAID THEY ARE BRINGING IN GRAHAM CASSIDY, WE DON'T
NEED TO WORK ON IT.
THERE'S A GREAT LINE THAT'S WORTH READING.
TRUMP SAID,
TALKING ABOUT GRAHAM CASSIDY, THE 52 MEMBER CAUCUS HAS UNTIL
SATURDAY BUT SENATOR MCCONNELL PULLED THE VOTE AS IT LACKS
SUPPORT.
TRUMP CLAIMED REPUBLICANS DO HAVE THE
NECESSARY VOTES, THOUGH HE LATER SAID WE ARE ONLY ONE OFF, MAYBE
TWO.
THEN HE REPEATEDLY INSISTED THAT A REPUBLICAN SENATOR,
LIKELY REFERRING TO SENATOR THAD COCHRAN, WHO IS RECOVERING FROM
SURGERY, IS UNLIKELY YES BUT HE'S RECOVERING IN THE HOSPITAL.
A SENATOR FOR COCHRAN SAID THE SENATOR IS NOT IN THE HOSPITAL.
ITS MADNESS AND LUNACY AND GIBBERISH, AND BY THE WAY ALL
THIS EFFORT TO REPEAL THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT HAS
UNDERMINED THE WAY THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT WORKS.
THAT WAS A BIG FEAR OF ALL THE SENATORS.
KNOW THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT IS IN WORSE SHAPE THAN IT HAS
EVER BEEN AND THEY WON'T TRY TO FIX IT, WE HAVE TRUMP NOW SAYING
HE WILL SIGN AN EXECUTIVE ORDER WHERE IT REMAINS UNCLEAR WHETHER
HE WILL BE ABLE LEGALLY TO HAVE ANY EFFECT AT ALL, AND THE ODDS
THAT AN EXECUTIVE ORDER FIXES WHAT IS WRONG WITH OBAMACARE AND
HELPS PEOPLE GET MORE AFFORDABLE INSURANCE STRIKES ME AS
INCONCEIVABLE.
AND TO BE CLEAR, THEY HAVE NO INTENTION OF HELPING TO IMPROVE
OBAMACARE, BECAUSE THEY DON'T THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA
POLITICALLY.
THIS IS ALL ABOUT POLITICS, BECAUSE TRUMP FIRST OF
ALL WANTS TO UNDO ANYTHING OBAMA HAS DONE, EVEN IF IT'S A GOOD
POLICY, AND WE ALL LIKE KNOWLEDGE THAT THE AFFORDABLE
CARE ACT NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED, THERE ARE DEFINITELY FLAWS, BUT
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A FOUNDATION WHICH WE IMPROVE ON.
REPUBLICANS HAVE A CHANCE TO DO THAT, TO PUT POLITICS ASIDE AND
SAY LET'S DO SOMETHING TO HELP THESE INCREASING PREMIUMS,
MAYBE SOME COST CONTROLS.
BUT THEY AREN'T REALLY INTERESTED IN DOING THAT,
THEY WANT TO SEE IT FAIL.
AND WE KNOW FROM REPORTING THAT WHAT SOME REPUBLICANS ARE
HOPING HAPPENS IS THAT THEY JUST WAIT AND TRUMP SAID TODAY FROM A
REPUBLICAN STANDPOINT WE HAVE THE VOTES, WE WILL VOTE IN
JANUARY, FEBRUARY, OR MARCH.
TO DO THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO PASS
ANOTHER CONTINUING RESOLUTION, AND DECIDE THEY WANT TO DO IT ON
HEALTHCARE AND NOT THE BUDGET, BECAUSE YOU CAN ONLY DO ONE,
UNLESS THEY COMBINED THEM.
WHICH IS SUPER TRICKY, TO COMBINE
THEM.
ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.
SO THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THEY WILL BE
ABLE TO DO IT IN JANUARY, FEBRUARY, OR MARCH WITH 50 VOTES
IS UNLIKELY.
BUT THEY HOPE THAT THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT WILL BE
SIGNIFICANTLY WEAKENED, WE KNOW THEY WANT AND WE HAVE SEEN
WIDELY REPORTED, THEY WANT PEOPLE'S HEALTH CARE PLAN TO
FAIL SO THEY CAN REPEAL THE THING THAT HAS BARACK OBAMA'S
NAME ON IT.
THAT'S MADNESS, THAT'S INSANITY.
BY THEN WE ARE ALSO GOING TO BE DEALING WITH ROBERT
MUELLER AND WHAT HE HAS TO SAY.
AND THE LIKELIHOOD THAT SOME OF THESE REPUBLICANS, THE CLOSER
WE GET TO THE MIDTERMS IN 2018, THEY WANT TO GET INVOLVED AND BE
IN CHARGE OF REPEALING IT?
AND I THINK WHAT PAUL RYAN HAD SAID
APPARENTLY AT ONE POINT TO MITCH MCCONNELL WAS WHATEVER YOU PASS,
WE WILL PASS.
SO THAT THEY COULD GET IT DONE AT THE DEADLINE.
THEN YOU WILL BE LOOKING AT SOME VULNERABLE NUMBERS OF THE HOUSE
AND I SUSPECT AS WE GET INTO MARCH, APRIL, AND MAY, THEY WILL
SAY I DON'T WANT TO REPEAL PEOPLE'S HEALTHCARE FOR
MONTHS BEFORE THE ELECTION.
BUT THEIR PLAN CONTINUES TO BE TO WEAKEN OBAMACARE.
AND HIS PLAN IS TO CONTINUE BULLYING SENATORS AND
CONGRESSMEN.
TODAY HE WAS IN INDIANA SELLING TAX REFORMS, HE
FLEW WITH SENATOR JOE DONNELLY ON AIR FORCE ONE TO INDIANA, DID
HIS RALLY, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RALLY LOOKED AT JOE DONNELLY AND
SAID IF YOU DON'T VOTE FOR THIS WE WILL WORK SO HARD TO MAKE
SURE YOU ARE NOT ELECTED, AFTER HE FLEW HIM OUT THERE.
ON THE
ONE HAND HE'S A REPUBLIC AND PRESIDENT COME HE'S NOT GOING TO
WORK HARD TO GET JOE DONNELLY ELECTED, A DEMOCRAT IN INDIANA.
BUT IT'S THIS THREATENING AND BULLYING, IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.
THAT'S WHAT HE LOVES TO DO.
IF YOU ARE A DEMOCRAT, DON'T GET ON THE PLANE.
