( applause ) then there's the bow. somehow, the saudi king always gets the u.s. president to bow. it happened to george bush in 2008, and obama in 2009. trump gave obama a lot of grief for that. so there was "no way" trump was going to bow when king salman gave him the medal. here he is going from the knees -- trying not to -- and the bow, and a little cur

tweeting about the stuff, contradicting yourself, going on tv when sarah huckabee -- bring in rosie o'donnell, singh's temper went to move on in the moment you're coming on tv to talk about it. to say this is rookie and jv messaging is putting it politely right now. i'm sick of it, i think the american public is sick of it. they love him and i love them for the outside of what this is, what happens in middle america when you elect someone with no experience, you have a mess of messaging because he didn't know how to do this. that's why have i have said politics and having history and politics and a legacy, even in some context or another is important. right now are seeing the ramifications. >> sandra: two hours ago, after all that tweeting he did all morning and all last night, he said china just agreed the u.s. will be allowed to sell beef and other major products into china once again. this is real news. this is obviously clearly a frustration coming thoroughly from the president. >> rachel: i think it's a mirroring of a people are talking about in the middle of the. it's why washington, d.

sit down and think about the consequences or tweeting rosie o'donnell on the same day. no one can stop this. no one can talk sense into him. not vice president pence. not reince priebus. not steve bannon. not the kids. nobody. >> so we got critical details last night from the president. if they are true. about the three times that comey detailed he is not under investigation. >> he wanted to have dinner because he wanted to stay on. we had a nice dinner. he asked for that. that dinner was arranged. i think he asked for the dinner. he wanted to stay on as the fbi head. i said i'll consider it. we'll see what happens. we had a nice dinner. at that time he told me you are not under investigation. he said it once at dinner and twice during phone calls. >> did you call him? >> one case i called him and one case he called me. >> did you ask? >> i asked him. i said if it is possible would you let me know am i under investigation. he said you are not under investigation. >> chris, an important point to add to that is the fact that jake tapper is reporting that one reason comey

and then the danger is, who cares about rosie o'donnell? why are you tweeting about her? he can't let anything go. he doesn't act presidential. when he goes on the world stage, this is a big test. reagan stumbled on the first economic, summit and then came back roaring in the second. this is where people can look at him and put him up against other world leaders, seeing if he can do it. i think he can. but if he can't, and he distracts everyone else, then it becomes a distraction. charlie: why do you think he can do it? >> i think he's a performer. he has a confidence factor that i have seen him head to head with world leaders and doesn't flinch. and the strongest team he has around him is the foreign policy team. even though tillerson is not experienced at state, he is experienced that world affairs. i think mcmaster is first-rate. he has a very strong team. the treasury team is very good. and my sense he has the best team and best opportunity if he sits and takes the counsel. i agree that the team is well-respected and have credibility on the world stage. but you can't

he retweeted rosie o'donnell who called for comey to be fired a few months ago which is funny in itselfi think trump has an opportunity here. kevin daily at the daily caller news foundation merrick garland has amazing opportunity as fbi director. bias partisan support, impeccable record, and his appointment to the fbi would open up a judicial nomination for trump of a conservative. it would appease the left, it would make trump look good and offer him a lot of options. i think he needs to consider him more than he has. david: interesting idea. to katie's original point that comey shouldn't have been treated the way he was. there are republicans that agree with that by the way. there have been other fbi directors that presidents despised. john f. kennedy and j. edgar hoover, they couldn't stand each other. hoover tried to get dirt on kennedy, i'm afraid he got dirt on kennedy but held back because they did learn to work together. no matter who is appointed is it possible the visceral hatred between comey and trump might be avoided? >> yes, i think so. i think honestly that might be a rea

an enabler and defend him when he's lying about inaugural crowds, when he's tweeting against rosie o'donnellng against meryl streep or against nordstrom's. if you want to go defend him when he's lying about 3 to 5 million undocumented having voted. okay, go ahead and do that. but this transcends that. this is so much more serious. in a matter of one week, in a matter of four days, on one day, he was tweeting out an intimidation of sally yates, the day she was to testify in front of the senate. and today he sent out a veiled threat, another intimidation of former fbi director, james comey. we owe it to the professionals at the fbi, at the intelligence community to stand up and not allow this. republicans cannot continue lacking the other way and enabling this. history is going to judge them oh, so harshly, oh, so harshly if more comes out. we need to stand up and defend the search for the truth above everything else. we cannot -- we cannot hand in a blind loyalty to a president, even if it's the president of our own party. that is not the duty of elected republicans. >> paris, as a republican

before we say good-bye, right now the president, again, tweeting he is replying to a tweet from rosie o'donnellere she wrote, "fire james comey." the president's response within the last few minutes, "we finally agree on something, ros rosie. you'll be reminded he called disgusting,s a slop, criticized her in the first debate. the feud between the two of them dating back more than a decade. i'm peter alexander. follow me on twitter @peteralexander. instagram, @peteralexandertv.

. >> woodruff: talking about rosie o'donnell. david avella, respond to what he said and also i want to ask both of you as we wrap this up, what's going to determine whether the white house gets back on an even keel in the short term or whether things just continue to... seem to be in turmoil? >> in this environment, it's hard to define what even keel will mean, and there will always be... there's very strong feelings about this president on both sides. but what are they going to judge his legacy on or his presidency on? are we getting results? are they going to be more jobs? there is much discussion even amongst, and steven mentioned it, even amongst conservatives, we're not doing enough. we're a few months into this administration, and there are plenty of examples, particularly at the state level where go-pac focuses. maybe a republican governor and legislature, when they first enact something, it starts out unpopular. when people start seeing the actual positive result, those governor, those legislatures are reelected overwhelm

and the danger is who cares about rosie o'donnell? he's back tweeting on her. he can't let anything go. he doesn't act presidential and he needs to act presidential. when he goes on this world stage which is a big, big test, which is a first measurement. reagan stumbled in the first economic summit, came back roaring in the second, this is a .ders and say can this guy dok is he going to be okay with the significant leaders in the world. i hope he can but he can't if he gets distracted. >> rose: why do you think he can do it? >> he's a performer. he has a confidence factor. i've seen him head to head with world leaders. he doesn't flinch. the strongest team he has around him is the foreign policy team. even though tillerson isn't experienced at state, he's experienced at world affairs. mathis is first rate. his treasury team is best. he has his best opportunity if he sits and takes the counsel. >> the team is well respected and comand respect on the world stage and that's important now. but you can't lose out on the fact you're seeing a potentially distracted at
