you have a mccollum this on cnn.com -- you have a column on this on cnn.com posting in an hour. >> there's big difference between the things she tweeted, i think certainly, and the support that she had for him and the show. although the show was built around that. i think it's important, however, to compare the backlash that she faced and consequences she faced with some of the consequences he faced when he announced his run for president. he said mexicans were rapists. there was an immediate backlash amongst hollywood, corporate america. macy's dropped his clothing line. the pga removed events from his courses. there was a huge backlash. he weathered it, stayed where he was, and now he's president. it's kind of an interesting, i think, way to look at it. you can compare the two backlashes. >> yeah, nbc universal dropped him at the time, that was in 2015. then two years later, he was inaugurated. the difference is corporate america can very quickly move on roseanne barr and cancel a very popular show that some have said is sort of a proxy for a trump viewing audience. the trump supporters.

there was no cooperation on this you know that really acted on this he didn't convince either mr mccollum the french press the president nor the german chancellor angela merkel who were both in washington to talk about that still and the question in brussels is also and mrs mcgreevey both of us this question as well what is the alternative how will you force iran to negotiate the u.s. and the allies have negotiated for eight years with iran to come to this point to come to this the what is the new leverage right now the u.s. mr trump is going back to square one putting sanctions in place on iran but what now. every randolph and let's give you the final word on this i wonder all that any actions any factions within the leadership that are going to welcome the u.s. withdrawal from that dale and the u.s. being seen as a bad faith that. show of the conservatives and the hardliners who always said this deal was a bad move that the americans cannot be trusted they're going to feel very indicated tonight they will point to the fact the president rouhani should never have done this deal that his

trade unionists are critical of mccollum's reforms they say he's rapidly demolishing the country social safety net. we hear these policies are socially unjust and benefit only the richest in the country for example has raised taxes on retirees and lowered capital tax that's a step back to the nineteenth century is curtailing workers' rights and opening the door for employers to negotiate directly with the workers. and the unions won't let that happen without a fight but the business community says the reforms have not gone far enough. you can't ask a small business to step itself like a big company following thousands of regulations which stem from who knows where. there has to be legislation adapted to small business to lower operating costs are going to be internationally competitive and france has a massive trade deficit. so far france's young president has not been fazed by his critics for the most difficult reforms the public's. there's and pensions haven't even begun yet. wall street titan j.p. morgan chase has become the latest firm to apply for a controlling stake in chinese sec
