Donald Trump Faces New Resistance And Low Poll Numbers | The Last Word

>> REALLY. >> SO HE MAY?
>> NO. I SAID I'D HAVE TO GET BACK TO
YOU ON THAT. >> THIS WEEKEND, PRESIDENT TRUMP
SAID HE IS NOT LABELING CHINA A CURRENCY MANIPULATOR BECAUSE
CHINA IS HELPING TO SOLVE THE NORTH KOREA PROBLEM.
THIS WEEKEND, THE PRESIDENT HELD OUT HOPE FOR A PEACEFUL SOLUTION
TO THE NORTH KOREA PROBLEM. AND THAT HOPE WAS THAT CHINA
WOULD DO THE JOB. CHINA WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
YESTERDAY THE PRESIDENT TWEETED THIS.
WHY WOULD I CALL CHINA A CURRENCY MANIPULATOR WHEN THEY
ARE WORKING WITH US ON THE NORTH KOREAN PROBLEM?
WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS. WELL, ONE REASON WHY YOU WOULD
CALL CHINA A CURRENCY MANIPULATOR IS THAT YOU SAID YOU
WERE GOING TO DO IT ON DAY ONE OF YOUR PRESIDENCY.
>> I'M GOING TO INSTRUCT MY TREASURY SECRETARY TO LABEL
CHINA A CURRENCY MANIPULATOR. THE GREATEST IN THE WORLD.
>> THAT WAS A BROKEN PROMISE OF DONALD TRUMP'S.
AND LAST WEEK DONALD TRUMP ACTUALLY SAID TO "THE WALL
STREET JOURNAL" CHINA IS NOT A CURRENCY MANIPULATOR.
THOSE ARE HIS EXACT WORDS. "CHINA IS NOT A CURRENCY
MANIPULATOR." HE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT I'M
NOT CALLING THEM A CURRENCY MANIPULATOR BECAUSE THEY'RE
HELPING OUT WITH NORTH KOREA. JUST CHINA IS NOT A CURRENCY
MANIPULATOR, AND THAT'S TRUE. MOST EXPERTS BELIEVE THAT CHINA
HAS NOT BEEN MANIPULATING ITS CURRENCY FOR SOME TIME NOW.
SO THERE REALLY IS NO JUSTIFIABLE REASON FOR TRYING TO
LABEL CHINA A CURRENCY MANIPULATOR.
BUT YESTERDAY, THE PRESIDENT FELT THE NEED TO LINK HIS
ACCEPTANCE OF THE TRUTH ABOUT CHINA'S CURRENCY TO CHINA'S
EFFORTS WITH NORTH KOREA. NOW, IF YOU'RE A TRUMP VOTER,
AND YOU WANT TO BELIEVE THAT, WHAT YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE IS THAT
THE PROMISE DONALD TRUMP MADE TO YOU TO BRING BACK AMERICAN JOBS
FROM CHINA BY FORCING CHINA TO STOP MANIPULATING ITS CURRENCY
IS BEING ABANDONED SO THAT CHINA WILL HELP STOP THE MADNESS IN
NORTH KOREA. BY TRUMP LOGIC, THE PRESIDENT
THEN IS GIVING UP AMERICAN JOBS TO CHINA, JUST LETTING THEM KEEP
THOSE JOBS TO GET HELP ON NORTH KOREA.
IN THE CAMPAIGN, DONALD TRUMP PROMISED VOTERS THAT HE WOULD
FORCE CHINA TO CONTROL NORTH KOREA, AND, AND, HE WOULD GET
AMERICAN JOBS BACK FROM CHINA. IT WAS NOT EITHER OR.
THE STRONG MAN WOULD DO BOTH. >> YOU LOOK AT NORTH KOREA.
WE'RE DOING NOTHING THERE. CHINA SHOULD SOLVE THAT PROBLEM
FOR US. CHINA SHOULD GO INTO NORTH
KOREA. CHINA IS TOTALLY POWERFUL AS IT
RELATES TO NORTH KOREA. >> TONIGHT THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION IS THREATENING ACTION IN NORTH KOREA.
>> THE ERA OF STRATEGIC PATIENCE IS OVER.
>> NOW, THIS KIND OF TALK IS COSTING THE PRESIDENT IN THE
POLLS. A NEW GALLUP POLL SHOWS THAT 45%
BELIEVE THAT DONALD TRUMP KEEPS HIS PROMISES.
THAT'S DOWN FROM 62% IN FEBRUARY.
THE RESISTANCE TOOK TO THE STREETS THIS WEEKEND OVER A
VIOLATEDOLATED PROMISE BY DONAL TRUMP.
>> IF I DECIDE TO RUN FOR OFFICE, I'LL PRODUCE MY TAX
RETURNS, ABSOLUTELY. >> HE OF COURSE WENT FROM SAYING
HE WOULD RELEASE HIS TAX RETURNS TO THEN AS A CANDIDATE SAYING HE
WOULD RELEASE HIS TAX RETURNS AFTER AN AUDIT WAS COMPLETE,
EVEN THOUGH HE HAS NEVER PROVIDED ANY PROOF OF THAT HE
WAS BEING AUDITED. AND THEN HE STOPPED SAYING THAT
HE WOULD RELEASE HIS TAX RETURNS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
AND IT HAS NOW COME TO THIS. >> IS THE PRESIDENT GOING TO
RELEASE HIS 2016 TAX RETURNS, GIVEN THAT WE CAN ASSUME MAYBE
THAT THOSE ARE NOT THEMSELVES UNDER AUDIT?
>> NO, YOU CAN'T. THEY ARE.
>> YOU ALWAYS TALK ABOUT UNDER AUDIT.
THE PRESIDENT SAYS UNDER AUDIT. IS IT TIME TO SAY ONCE FOR AND
FOR THE PRESIDENT IS NEVER GOING TO RELEASE HIS TAX RETURNS?
>> WE'LL HAVE TO GET BACK TO YOU ON THAT.
>> YOU WANT -- I MEAN, REALLY? >> REALLY.
>> SO HE MAY? >> NO, I SAID I'D HAVE TO GET
BACK TO YOU ON THAT. I THINK THAT HE IS STILL UNDER
AUDIT. THE STATEMENT STILL STANDS.
>> OF COURSE, EVERY PRESIDENT WHO HAS RELEASED THEIR TAX
RETURNS HAS ALSO BEEN UNDER AUDIT BECAUSE IT'S IRS AUTOMATIC
POLICY TO AUDIT THE PRESIDENT AND THE VICE PRESIDENT.
WE'LL HAVE MORE ON THAT LATER IN THIS HOUR.
IN OVER 150 CITIES THIS WEEKEND, THE RESISTANCE TO THE TRUMP
PRESIDENCY MARCHED TO THE DEMAND THAT THE PRESIDENT DO WHAT
BARACK OBAMA DID THIS TIME LAST YEAR AND RELEASE HIS TAX
RETURNS. THE PRESIDENT, ALONG WITH VICE
PRESIDENT BIDEN RELEASED THEIR TAX RETURNS SHOWING ALL OF THEIR
INCOME, ALL OF THEIR CHARITABLE DONATIONS.
THERE WAS NOTHING UNUSUAL. IT'S WHAT EVERY PRESIDENT AND
VICE PRESIDENT HAS DONE SINCE RICHARD NIXON.
THIS WEEKEND'S MARCHERS DID NOT EXPECT DONALD TRUMP TO RELEASE
HIS TAX RETURNS TODAY. BUT THEY REFUSE TO ALLOW DONALD
TRUMP'S ABNORMALITIES AS PRESIDENT TO BECOME NORMAL.
AND THE RESISTANCE CONTINUES TO SHOW UP AT REPUBLICAN TOWN HALLS
HELD BY SENATORS AND MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.
AND THEY'RE NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT.
HERE IS REPUBLICAN DEAN HELLER IN MARTHA'S VINEYARD TODAY.
-- NEVADA. >> DO YOU SUPPORT DOING AWAY
WITH FUNDING PLANNED PARENTHOOD. DO YOU COMMIT TO THE WOMEN AND
TO THE PEOPLE OF NEVADA THAT YOU WILL PROTECT THE FUNDING AT THE
FEDERAL LEVEL? >> AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL?
>> YES. >> YEAH, WE'LL CONTINUE.
WE'LL CONTINUE TO LOOK AT THIS ISSUE --
>> NO! [ BOOING ]
>> HOW MANY RUSSIAN SPIES DO WE HAVE TO HAVE IN THE WHITE HOUSE
BEFORE YOU'LL INVESTIGATE IT? [ CHEERING ]
>> WHEN I HEAR THAT DONALD TRUMP WANTS TO SEVERELY CUT THE EPA
BUDGET, I'M ANGRY. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
WE CANNOT GO BACKWARDS. OKAY?
[ CHANTING ] >> I'M A NATIVE NEVADAN.
I'M ONE OF YOUR CONSTITUENTS. AND QUITE FRANKLY, YOU DON'T
REALLY REPRESENT ME. >> HERE IS ARKANSAS REPUBLICAN
SENATOR TOM COTTON TODAY IN LITTLE ROCK.
>> I THINK YOU READ "THE ART OF THE DEAL" BECAUSE YOU GOT MORE
CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY.
THEREFORE, YOU SOLD US OUT WHEN YOU CANCELED THE FCC REGULATIONS
THAT ENSURED MY PRIVACY, KEEPING MY -- AND SELLING MY BROWSING
HISTORY. I THINK IT'S TIME TO REPEAL AND
REPLACE YOU IN 2020. [ CHEERING ]
>> I'M WONDERING IF YOU COULD KIND OF DEFINE WHERE YOU THINK
OUR PRESIDENT'S FOREIGN POLICY IS GOING?
AND I REALIZE -- I REALIZE IT'S DIFFICULT.
AND I REALIZE THERE HAS BEEN SOME CHANGES.
BUT SOME OF HIS DECISIONS HAVE BEEN A LITTLE CONCERNING TO ME.
>> WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET Y'ALL TO VOTE ACROSS THE PEOPLE
LINES AND NOT PARTY LINES? [ CHEERING ]
>> I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT SOME IN KANSAS BENEFITTED FROM
OBAMACARE. MANY MORE WERE HURT BY
OB
