what chris christie is saying is perfectly sane baseline legal advice to a client. mueller does not have donald trump's interests in mind. their interests are very different. and the only person who seems to think it's a good idea that donald trump sit down with bob mueller is donald trump. >> and donald trump is still desperately dialing for lawyers. posted on that, mr. president. matt miller and barbara mcquade, thank you for spending time with us. >>> when we come back, donald trump's love affair for fox news -- there is competition for his affects. we'll show you the media organization grabbing headlines for towing the president's line. whether it's a big thing, small thing, or something unexpected, pnc will be right there when you need us. because when it comes to your finances, if you focus on today, tomorrow has a way of working itself out. if you focus on today, when it comes to strong bones, are you on the right path? we have postmenopausal osteoporosis and a high risk for fracture, so with our doctors we chose prolia® to help make our bones stronger. only

attorney, former governor chris christie. do you think at this level of play, chris christie took advantage of an appearance on "this week" this past sunday to telegraph one more time to the president i know you think can you ace the interview with mueller, this couldn't be a worse idea? >> i mean, i don't think it was even that subtle, to be positivitily honest. and i don't think chris christie is the only one advising trump not to do this. for a while we heard the phrase perjury trap over and over and over again, specifically on tv, because trump watches tv and specifically on fox news. people who are close to the president and care about the president are warning him not to let his ego get the best of him and not to sit down with robert mueller. now, does it end up he doesn't do the interview? i don't know. it could very well be if he is compelled to do so. it could very well be he thinks he can represent himself best in front of mueller better than anyone else. but michael is right, the lack of an actual robust legal team

betsy woodruff, the broader point chris christie is making obviously chris christie has an axe to grind because for 48 hours he was going to be the guy running the transition for the trump administration back in 2016. so, there's more than a little see i told you so there. what he's describing is not just chris christie who makes that point in washington. it's not just democrats, i mean folks across the party lines say that about the trump administration, about things -- how things have been run there. i think the question is he's pointing back to the transition. has anything changed at all in terms of what he's describing in terms of how the white house now approaches openings and vacancies? >> taking a step back and sort of looking at this from 50,000 feet, the big change really has been general kelly becoming chief of staff. before he stepped in the white house was just a lot more messy, a lot leakier and racked with much more infighting than at least is visible right now. that's a low bar. that is not to suggest the white house is running like the well oiled machine chris ruddy woul

chris christie blame president trump's transition team.istie ran the transition until the president replaced him with vice president mike pence about a month before nominati nominating scott pruitt. >> so pruitt has to go? >> i don't know how you survive this one. if he has to go, it's because he never should have been there in the first place. >> shepard: the former governor of new jersey. pruitt says he did not violate any federal ethics rules. pruitt was facing questions about flying first class on the taxpayer's dime and spending $43,000 to build a secure phone booth at the epa to make confidential calls. trace gallagher with the rest of the story. >> we should note hotels go from anywhere 400 to $500. and pruitt leased the condo for six months but paid a total of $6,000. which means he was charged for 122 nights. the epa says the deal was fully vetted. and as an epa ethics career stated, the housing arrangements for himself and his house was not a gift and the lease was consistent with federal ethics regulations. many are saying this

infidelity in the marriage for six years prior while chris hall was in custody in idaho. >> christy'sars earlier. but she'd been in phone contact with the man just days before she died. had chris found out? impossible to know. but when investigator dove talked to christy's coworkers at the clinic where she was an exray technician, several ever them said they noticed an unusual change in her usually vibrant personality. one coworker told us more. >> she told us she was contemplating a divorce. >> if true, and it was only an if, it might well persuade a jury. and also prosecutors tronsky needed to explain what lyndsay patterson saw or didn't see. why didn't she see christy's drowned body when she peeked over the wall a second time? >> we were not able to explain to the jury why she didn't see christy at that point, and i think that allowed the defense to make the argument that christy hall was inside. >> the prosecution hired a water expert to do a recreation of hall spa. andrea zafaras has been assisting nationwide with investigations the past 20 years. she got in the spa and videotape

chris christie.ocratic strategist donna brazile. pollster and abc contributor frank luntz. and shannon pettypiece, the white house correspondent for bloomberg news. we'll get to the dinner. >> hur. >> but governor -- >> you bet we will, buddy. >> they're still blushing. >> we're headed towards an historic summit, assuming it happens, between president trump and kim jong-un. what do you think is going on in the president's mind on this? what does he actually think he can achieve in this first meeting? >> listen, i think knowing him as well as i do, he thinks he can achieve it all. this is how he works. he began by being very rough on this guy. name-calling. tough sanctions. all the rest. this is the way this president was for all his years as a real estate developer in new york city. to be as tough as you can in the beginning. then work to get a deal you can call a win. i think that's probably what his strategy is. because that's what his strategy always is. i think -- now, whether it will work or not

and just a couple days after donald trump was elected he booted chris christie. that would have been a real signal to us what was to come if his head of transition was booted a couple of days after the election. so you just can't put together a transition team like this overnight. and what you're talking about is not only the most departures in the first year of an administration that we have seen in 40 years, but it is also the failure to even name people to new posts. so not only do we have rex tillerson, secretary of state, gary cohn, top economic advisor, h.r. mcmaster, the national security advisor. the list goes on and on of all these people leaving. but we don't have the trump administration more than a year in putting a south korean ambassador. and we're about to go into talks with kim jong un, the north korean dictator and we don't have a nomination for a south korean ambassador. and some of these are self-inflicted wounds. they don't have the infrastructure to do that and make good calls and decisions. >> chris christie on this broadcast told the story

been kept prisoner because she had gone over to help in the situation that demanded the help and chris christie diagnosed her from afar and said she was obviously sick. christie went so far as to brag about that on stage during one of the republican debates just before dropping out. and travel bands, virtually any public health official is the wrong message to send. liberia, sierra leone and ginny could not have stopped the operate on their own. coming in from outside, europe, the us, the african union doctors did a remarkable amount to stem the tide of the outbreak. how to get there if there are travel bands around the world? the wrong idea, a good thing policymakers never implemented it. >> you quantify it, tom tillis win in north carolina. he is really good at stack. >> and left new jersey and went to maine, pulling far behind. the third candidate who was doing okay, 10% or 15% dropped out of the race because they hated the incumbent governor so much, and keep casey hickox in quarantine, she said thank you, no thank you and took a bike ride with a partner in a public show of science and the

chris christie is getting his portrait as new jersey governor. do we have it? $85,000.oing to show you the past governor's portraits. >> it is a lot of paint. >> if you look at corzine, these are nice little portraits. this is going to cost more than the three of those portraits combined. my only hope, from you seen this? my only hope is maybe they will base it off of his time with donald trump when he had the silent scream. do you remember that? you don't remember -- look. he doesn't move at all. see that? so we were thinking, and this is the end of my fallback speech, if we went more of an edward munch vibe. >> if you could just stretch -- >> and just channel and channel that. maybe that would be something. >> i would be behind that. i would go to that art gallery. just nothing but chris christie screaming portraits. ahh! >> do you have any other fallbacks? >> i feel like, also, with schumer finally pushing for the decriminalization of marijuana, it's 4/20, jeff session needs to fall back, because there's so many good uses for medical marijuana, vets, ptsd, seizures.

chris christie ‘s in to that opinion.ce, he took it because he was the right man for the job at the timelj must believe that he does want to spend more time with his kids, i would like to spend more time with mine. he worked on mitt romney's presidential campaign when paul ryan was the vice presidential nominee. —— you worked. you see another opportunity for yourself to join a paul ryan presidential campaign? paul ryan presidential campaign? paul ryan presidential campaign? paul ryan knows that i will support him in anything that he wants to do. he will take sometime off, and he will continue to shape the policy of the barbican party for sure, because he is committed to ending poverty in a conservative way, and committed to tackling entitlements, which he was never able to do. he will continue to bea never able to do. he will continue to be a voice on that, and i wish them well. thanks for coming in. wrong, i was asking kevin he would work on a presidential campaign in the future for mr ryan. would you? —— ron. the future

with teacher windows, governor chris christie of new jersey who really did not respond to evil is terribly well, and governor andrew cuomo of new york ordered that anybody coming back west africa be quarantined for 21 days despite the fact that he was traveling back to maine. she had no or pressure campaign. she wrote an op-ed in the dallas morning news, call into cnn a few times which is handy because apparently a friend of hers new producer cnn and basically said she had been kept prisoner because she had gone over to help in a situation that demanded the health and chris christie diagnose her from afar and never met her. then she was obviously sick . she never got the evil of virus. went so far as to brag about it on stage during one of the republican debate couple days before he dropped out. but it was a moment when there were a lot of people callingfor travel ban that virtually any public health official will tell you is exactly the wrong message to send . sierra leone and new guinea could not have stopped the outbreak on their own. theonly people who could have going to come from out

>> chris christie has called comey a man of integrity and really praised him. the context of what comey did in the 2016 election is really important. he was operating in an environment where loretta lynch had this controversial meeting with bill clinton, he was operating in an environment where president obama had said a couple of things about the clinton investigation. and he was concerned that if hillary clinton had won the election and he had not disclosed that they had reopened this investigation, that he said repeatedly had been closed, that it would have been scandalous, or the information about anthony weiner's lap top, remember that's what the information was about. if it would have leaked, he would have been accused of not revealing it. i think he made the right decision, i think it was defensible at the time. but he said that the polling weighed on him, he thought hillary was going to win, and that pushed him to do this, that's probably the most controversial thing we have heard in this book so far. because you never ever want the fbi director to be i

. >> sorry that chris christie? >> it does look like chris christie. and his wife there. >> that's sarah sanders's husband right there? >> the four of them are speaking. margaret who was president of the association thanked sarah sanders for being here and also for the access that she has given to the white house press corps and it's interesting because you were saying the trump administration officials would be upset by this. i don't think most of the journalists did not feel as if the people were giving the support. the room was quiet and that's at the beginning of her set. it was a lot of laughs and she was quite funny. by the end, it was quite quiet. we are here to poke fun at ourselves and the relationship and weirdness we heard from anyway. i looked at them after the sarah sanders jokes and she was not smiling either. i wonder if there was a line that was cross said or discussion beforehand or what that was, but margaret did not seem super comfortable with the way the jokes went. >> between journalists and convenience. michelle wolf can make all

let me play chris christie this morning, someone who gives advice personally and also gives some of that legal advice on tv. >> i think the president is really angry about this and expressed that yesterday. i think he does understand it. but i think there's lots of people who are concerned that, you know, his reaction to this may overcome -- it's a big problem. i've told him that. you can't fire the special counsel. you just can't. >> ashley parker, the president doesn't seem to be of the same mind, at least if you take his press secretary for her word with his personal friend and one-time very senior campaign advisor chris christie. >> put it this way, he hasn't done it yet. but people i talked to this morning said he's definitely building the case to potentially do it if he wants to, if he's not able to be talked out of it but aides and advisors. if you looked at his comments yesterday, someone said, he's sort of floating a trial balloon, which is what he does for a lot of his more controversial statements or moves or decisions. he sort of tests it out, says, a lot of people are saying

. >> neera, listen to chris christie, a former federal prosecutor in his own right, who is believed to still be close to the president and people who are really close to him speak to him as we all do, through the television. here's chris christie, what's on his mind. >> does he understand what firing robert mueller would mean? >> i think he does but i think what john said is right, i think the president is angry about this and expressed that yesterday. it's a big problem and i've told him that. you can't fire the special counsel. you just can't. >> neera, why is he saying that now? >> i think obviously people are trying to talk the president out of firing the special counsel which is an extraordinary issue in and of itself but look at where we are we're having a reality question of whether he's going fire the special prosecutor or not. let's try to analogize this to a normal situation, which is hard, appreciate. but if a regular ordinary criminal basically had the power to fire the prosecutor or fire the police who were investigating them you would say that's kind of a piece of evidenc

let me point out another former republican governor of new jersey, chris christie, who was the head ofpa, christy scott whitman was on. this is what she had to say. >> we did everything to make sure there was a good distance between me and anyone who had business before the agency. we were very careful. certainly lobbyists would never have that kind of a personal -- not relationship, because maybe you know them outside of their lobbying times, but this kind of thing where you're renting an apartment and clearly getting it for less than market value. you just wouldn't put yourself in that position. >> having been the former epa leader during the bush 43 administration. but if there's no, quote, regulation and if they keep getting these ethics rulings from their own departments, where does it go? >> well, you know, look i think the pressure is mounting against him. you've seen editorials across the country, including in conservative papers, calling for him to step down. i think you noted, i think the real problem here is the epa is there to protect human health and to protect the environ

, who was heading up the transition teasa the report that chris christie had a long list of people who were really experitced in differ agencies and that once the president let him go, things went awry. can look at a long list of people, i was making a list before i came on here, ben carson who faced real issues on whether or not he was ready to, run hu betsy des have had a lot of pushback to be education secretary. omu had andy pudser because his ex-wife alleged tic violence in their relationship. you had rob porter who had to be let go or fired or regned. a lot of people say different things at the white house. the point is he als was not vetted properly most people say because he had domestic violence abuse issues. this is a pattern of white house nominees having real issues. of course, president trump says that all these people are great people, that some of re treated unfairly, but the media is too harsh on them some the white house narrative is they pick great people and they're picking people outside of the box. when people voted for president trump, they didn't want government

and we're talking about somebody who i believe you know jeff berman, here's what chris christie had to say. >> you can't fire the special counsel, you just can't and i think now we're look at the u.s. attorney in the southern district of new york who i know well. the guy from new jersey was appointed there by attorney general sessions. this is a good guy, jeff berman, he's a boy scout. he'll do the right thing. >> what is your reaction to as well as where you think this goes next, now that the search warrant has been executed, now that the raid is over, what's next? >> well, look, mueller did exactly what he was supposed to do here. what any investigator, prosecutor does. when you come across evidence of possible evidence of criminality, you don't just ignore it, right? so he didn't necessarily fall into the mandate that he believes he has to investigate russian election interference. in fact, this shows that mueller is not leading that as broadly as some of his critics are saying. but, he can't just ignore it and swipe it under, you know, under the rug. he was probed the u.s. attorney

meanwhile, former new jersey governor and surrogate chris christie says it's hard to see how pruitt canh this. >> the president's been ill served by this and if mr. pruitt is going to go, it's because he should have never been there in the first place. >> does he have to go? >> listen, john how you survive this one. >> if he has to go? >> it's because he never should have been there in the first place. >> $50 a night, airbnb you get a good rate. it happens to be he's a lobbyist for an energy industry official. all right, joining us now from washington, d.c. white house reporter for the washington examiner steve nelson who is also an expert on airbnb rates in washington, d.c. steve, good to have you back with us. president trump escalated his attacks against amazon over the weekend, even calling for the washington post to register as a lobbyist organization. what is behind trump's ongoing war with amazon? are we likely to see him take this feud with the internet retailer beyond twitter? could we see something on capitol hill? >> so, if you want to be charitable, you could say that this i

you heard chris christie and chuck schumer. does the white house have a serious vetting problem? >> well, they do. they are not carefully vetting. in fact conversations i've had with my republican colleagues are that we have to double down on the investigate that we do on the committee level here because people are coming over with such poor investigation beforehand about the issues that might appear here in the senate. so it certainly slows everything down. they need to get the white house team into shape, really do the job up front before they send people over. >> does it give you pause, though? look, we know many top members of the obama administration praised dr. jackson even after his news conference about president trump's health which seemed almost farcifarcical. and then you heard jeff zeleny read one of the things barack obama had to say about ronny jackson, but he had three years of exams in which he said similar things. one of them in 2015. ronny's positive impact cannot be overstated. he's a tremendous asset to the entire white house team. already at a level of perfor

and even chris christie has said he should never have been put there in the first place. and while he may be doing the bidding of the gas and oil interests is, even for them, i would say that maybe this is too much. >> well, jay michaelson made that point -- >> but i don't expect -- >> i'm sorry to interrupt you. >> but i don't expect it ends with pruitt. there are others. ryan zinke comes to mind. there are others who have various kinds of ethical and other issues that arise as to them. >> what do you -- whether it's with ryan zinke and interior or mick mulvaney at the consumer financial protection bureau or scott pruitt at the epa, there is something similar here. these are people at the heads of agencies there with the intent of essentially dismantling what many americans would think those agencies or bodies are there to do. terks the epa is thought of as an agency that protects us from the excesses of corporate america that would dirty our water and air if they didn't have regulation. that's not scott pruitt's world view. >> that's exactly right. and let's add people

that's why former trump ally and new jersey governor chris tis christie said trump should step up. >> does he have to go? >> i don't know how you survive this one. >> trump not pulling the trigger on pruitt. did you hear something else. he also said pruitt never should have been there in first place which raises a really important question. it's not just that the president doesn't know how to fire someone. christie is saying the president doesn't know how to hire the right person. look at the people who have been accused of wasting taxpayer dollars on things like private jets and vacations. steve manuchin. tom price, ryan zenke and ben carson. remember the $31,000 dining room set and these guys are still there. trump said he would change washington. can he make good on the promise when he can't seem to run an efficient administration. >> what you saw was a tweet storm from the president attacking mexico and democrats saying a deal on daca was dead. opting the spend the weekend that rile up the president. he was there with fox news host including janine and bill shine. sources familiar

chris christie ran a year long transition. >> you get what you pay for. this they did it on the fly. >> what do you think happens to pruitt. he and his soundproof bone putin. >> he may be a secretary of one. in the normal laws of physics he could not survive. but as long as he's pleasing the president, i guess he's there. >> and it is a one of the most active agencies doing things, particularly here in california, undoing some of california's most important regulations. >> as a democrat all i can think of is many of the things that have happened in terms of deregulation, and to me having a massive negative impact on the environment is those things can be undone. we can reverse a lot of those things. and that's the hope. that's the hope. i mean, look, we lead the way here in california for air quality, for emissions control, and all of that. and so that is what we should be taking our lead from. >> that bores you more about the pruitt the ethical lapses for the policies. >> the policies. >> you are fine with the soundproof phone booth. >> i'm not fine with

or chris christie who did everything but fetch his lunch, he was fired from the transition team two days after the victory. james: these are valid concerns to raise. flattery has not worked for many people in the trump circle and it is a big risk that someone like president make run is taking. -- president macron is taking. president trump may not offer him anything and he will end up looking embarrassed. anymore president trump popular in france than some of the other countries? james: no, the approval rating in france is 14%. in germany, 11%. a sickly the same. he is probably more popular in poland because he gave a speech that was widely praised in warsaw last summer. it would be hard for me to think off the top of my head but i think we invest too much concern in the personal popularity of the president in foreign countries. it -- obama was beloved around the world, particularly in germany. but i think -- that does not necessarily mean that we got everything we wanted from our european allies just because they were out in the streets praying to how wonderful president obama was. host

so explain paul ryan and reince preibus and chris christie during the "access hollywood" weekend for the campaign. what did they do? and what were the discussions? >> reince preibus went to the debate and still supported trump for the rnc actually he did not withdraw support. >> what did he say? but to get out of the race i'm just reading from your book. but he was the chief of staff. >> yes and he never forgive him for saying that which is unfortunate because reince preibus really presided over so many successes including the revelation that they can expand and hire more workers and would not be restricted or constructe constructed. and a lot of other achievements that occurred under reince preibus. but at one point on the "access hollywood" tape now they say it shows actually what he says is that he takes advantage of that. and they want you to do that. it isn't nonconsensual activity that is consensual activity that he describes. >>host: it isn't really anything that happened in public in my lifetime or your lifetime so if we saw something that doesn't usually happen normally that

explain what happened with paul ryan and chris christie. what did he say? he said you can get out of the race or lose in a landslide. >> guest: he presided over so many of these successes including the deregulation of the ceos to realize that they could expand and have more workers and they are not restricted and construct it and a lot of other achievements occurred under. at one point in the tape if hillary said that it shows a coercive. so it's not nonconsensual as the activity that he describes. >> host: isn't anything that really happened in politics so we saw something that doesn't usually happen. usually it would be the death knell of a presidential campaign, and paul ryan the speaker seemed to act that way and looking back they didn't understand what was about the trump voter or these things about donald trump. >> guest: i think that he did understand that it's hard for people to understand the way the average voter thinks. my phone contractor, working class person said to me i don't care what he says i just care about what he does and i think that s

big first television interview on tape, so catherine, listen to what former new jersey governor chris christie had to say about james comey. >> when i worked for jim, if i had said to him 11 days before an election that i was going to release information that could affect the relationship, he would have fired me on the spot. and it is really disconcerting to me, as a guy who worked with him and for him and have defended him on this air and other places over the years to see this interview and what he was saying. it is exactly what they teach you not to do. >> so catherine, ftrying to undermine the reputation and the credibility of james comey and here his book is really about trying to uphold his reputation and character. >> i think there are two things to separate here. one is did james comey make a mistake in announcing that they were reopening this investigation so close to the election. yes, probably he did. there is a reason why there is this norm in place not to make these kinds of announcements right before an election because it could influence the election. but there's an allegation t

chris christie said i don't know how he survives this. we have seen this before.the reagan administration the same kind of talk about dereguling and you had gorsuch who lost the confidence of the public and congress when to be replaced by bill whom i worked if. he had a totally different policy it was a fish bowl policy. everything was transparent. put my schedule out there so everybody knows who i am meeting with. that's the opposite of what scott pruitt is doing. there is a level of paranoia going first place and dealing with the common person in coach. $43,000 for a sound brief booth. -- proof booth. he feels the need to separate himself. >> the issue with security with travel he was facing death threats. the idea that he would care about security when radical leftists have shot up people. >> a couple of things to get to the reality. will he survive this? would he do it again? probably not. i wonder this: did anyone in the obama administration over 8 years buy furniture that was expensive? did anyone in the obama years go in first-class or always in coach? >> [

so many people wish it had been rudy giuliani or chris christie.le to do what all of us think he should do at the moment. mark require's amazing one man can do this much damage. i don't know why he can say to mueller, this is about russia collusion, it's not about a pole stripper. sessions can step in and put an end to that silly thing. trish: i think sessions needs to man up. it's like you just got to be strong, you have got to do what you need to do and be so hesitant. to me, we just want answers here. we want answers. mark: he's a part of that swamp and he's afraid to make waves. rudy giuliani knows these guys. he's been removed from it. maybe he can come back in and negotiate a settlement? rachel: i can't imagine why they would have brought rudy giuliani on. millions of dollars have been spent and there is nothing to show for it. there is no there there. mark: in the fox interview the president made a great point. cohen didn't handle his business affairs. you won't find any business matters in those files. rachel: i thought imagine if cohen had

attacking going on and coosa for 2.0 one wikileaks he told--michael flynn is in the room and chris christie is in the room too. it has no impact at all not on trump, not on the campaign. when the statement comes at an earlier toper that it's a hault just a hoax. one thing we do say in the book and we may be editorializing perhaps is that if you look at what trump is saying at this point in the campaign in a way he's aiding and abetting in the russian effort. the way i like to think of it and mike might think of it in a different way if you are told there's a robbery going on in the bank and people are walking past you saying there's no robbery here. that can only help the bank robber. i doubt very much donald trump had a meeting with russian agents to figure out what documents worst being hacked and released by wikileaks. this is a cooperative arrangement. he was helping them and if you are moscow in you are watching this while the campaign is also reaching out to you george papadopoulos if i'm putin and i'm running this operation trump is not unhappy with us. >> host: i want to ask you abo

and today chris christie made a prediction about pruitt's future and criticize the vetting process. >s a brutally unprofessional transition. this was a transition that doesn't vet people. if mr. pruitt will go, he should have never been there in the first place. >> and he is not 9 on othe only with questionable spending. ben carson scrapping plans to buy a $31,000 dining room set for his office pnd. carson said he left the decision up to his wife. and we all remember steve mnuchin and his wife wanting a military jet for their european honeymoon. about a million dollars there. mnuchin's insistence on flying military aircraft has cost the taxpayer that number right there. let's decide with oiscuss with . ben carson was on that list of questionable spending. at least a potential possibility. what is your reflection on pruitt, is he next to go or is he safe because of his effectiveness at least in removing a lot of the obama era rules? >> happy easter to you. i think one of the president's key campaign promises was indeed that he would darain the swamp, that he would bring back transparen

it is like shooting fish in a chris christie. i also want to make fun of democrats.ocrats are harder to make fun of because you guys don't do anything. [laughter] might flip the house and senate this november but you guys always find a way to mess it up. you are somehow going to lose by 12 points to a guy named jeff pedophile nazi dr.. oh, he's a doctor? we should talk about women in the trump. there is kellyanne conway. man, she has the perfect last name for what she does. conway. it is like if my name was michelle, jokes frizzy hair *.all * * you have to stop putting kellyanne on your show. else you does his life. if you don't give her a platform she has nowhere to live. it's like that old saying, if a tree falls in the woods, how do we get kellyanne under that tree? not suggesting we put her there, i'm just suggesting that she get stuck. incidentally, a tree falling in the woods is a scott pruitt's definition of porn. we all have our kinks. ivanka got was supposed to be an advocate for women but it turns out she is about as helpful to women as an empty box of tamp
