glenn hall is news editor for "the wall street journal." it would you guess that american public opinion has turned south on the president that quickly? >> i think different polls and at different times. what we've seen consistently is a sense of a divided nation, and we saw that through the election and i don't think it is changed that quickly. >> jon: what about the press conference yesterday? the president was very hard on the media, he says he's not getting a fair shake. he talked a lot about fake news. his >> the clear message there s that president donald trump was a little bit tired of having his message be filtered, he even said that. he wants to take his message out to the american people. he used that press conference to talk over the media and make the point about the media with the media in the room. he wasn't necessarily talking to the media at selves, but to the people watching around the country. i would equate that a little with the rallies that he's scheduled to have. he wants to take his message straight to the people, get
