The Circus

HOW YOU ARE, SIR?

YOU ARE HERE FOR A SPECIFIC EVENT?

FLYING OUT ON AIR FORCE ONE.

ALL RIGHT.

HAVE A GOOD ONE.

HEADED OUT TO GET ON AIR

FORCE ONE.

THAT'S A BIG PLANE.

IT'S GOT MORE MISSILES THAN

TRUMP'S PRIVATE PLANE, BUT FEWER

GOLD‐PLATED FIXTURES.

HI.

MS. HICKS, HOW ARE YOU?

HOW ARE YOU?

MY FIRST TIME ON AIR FORCE

ONE WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP.

KIND OF CINEMATIC.

YOU KNOW, THE SYMBOLISM OF THE

OFFICE.

MOST POWERFUL JOB IN THE WORLD.

WHERE IS MR. KINNON?

HE IS SPENDING THE DAY WITH

TED CRUZ AND RAND PAUL.

IF YOU'RE ASKING ME IF HE DREW

THE LONG STRAW ‐‐

‐‐ I'M SAYING NOT NECESSARILY.

WE'RE HERE FREEZING OUR ASSES

OFF.

WILL YOU PLEASE RAISE YOUR

RIGHT HAND AND REPEAT AFTER ME?

I ‐‐

I ‐‐

I ‐‐

I ‐‐

I ‐‐

I ‐‐

DO SOLEMNLY SWEAR ‐‐

THAT I WILL FAITHFULLY

EXECUTE ‐‐

THE OFFICE ‐‐

OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE

UNITED STATES ‐‐

AND WILL TO THE BEST OF MY

ABILITY ‐‐

PRESERVE, PROTECT, AND

DEFEND ‐‐

THE CONSTITUTION ‐‐

OF THE UNITED STATES ‐‐

SO HELP ME GOD.

CONGRATULATIONS, MR.

PRESIDENT.

THE FIRST 100 DAYS OF ANY

PRESIDENCY HAS BECOME A

BENCHMARK FOR SUCCESS.

IT CAN SET THE TONE FOR AN

ENTIRE ADMINISTRATION.

HONESTLY, LOOKED LIKE A

MILLION AND A HALF PEOPLE.

THIS WAS THE LARGEST AUDIENCE

TO EVER WITNESS AN INAUGURATION,

PERIOD.

SEAN SPICER GAVE ALTERNATIVE

FACTS.

BUT IT WAS THE MARCHES THAT

STOLE THE WEEKEND.

THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE.

DAKOTA ACCESS PIPELINE.

LET'S START BUILDING.

I'M ESTABLISHING NEW VETTING

TO KEEP RADICAL ISLAMIC

TERRORISTS OUT OF THE UNITED

STATES.

WE DON'T WANT THEM HERE.

CUTTING REGULATIONS

MASSIVELY.

AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, PENDING

REPEAL.

REPUBLICANS ARE SAYING HE'S

THE PERFECT PICK.

WAS THAT A SURPRISE?

WAS IT?

I WANT TO JUST PRAY FOR

ARNOLD, IF WE CAN, FOR THOSE

RATINGS, OKAY?

A FEDERAL JUDGE TEMPORARILY

HALTING PRESIDENT TRUMP'S TRAVEL

BAN.

PRESIDENT TRUMP ALREADY

TWEETING.

THE OPINION OF THE SO‐CALLED

JUDGE WILL BE OVERTURNED.

PRETTY UNPRECEDENTED.

NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER

MICHAEL FLYNN IS OUT.

WHAT HE DID WASN'T WRONG.

WHAT WAS WRONG WAS THE WAY THAT

OTHER PEOPLE WERE GIVEN THAT

INFORMATION.

CALLED THE FAKE NEWS.

THEY ARE THE ENEMY OF THE

PEOPLE.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED

STATES.

THE TIME FOR TRIVIAL FIGHTS

IS BEHIND US.

WE ARE BLESSED TO BE JOINED

TONIGHT BY THE WIDOW OF U. S.

NAVY SPECIAL OPERATIVE, WILLIAM

RYAN OWENS.

HE BECAME PRESIDENT OF THE

UNITED STATES IN THAT MOMENT.

HIS JOINT ADDRESS TO CONGRESS

COMPLETELY OVERSHADOWED BY NEWS

THAT HIS OWN ATTORNEY GENERAL

TWO MEETINGS WITH THE RUSSIAN

AMBASSADOR.

30 THIS MORNING,

PRESIDENT TRUMP TWEETS JUST

FOUND OUT PRESIDENT OBAMA HAD MY

WIRES TAPPED AT TRUMP TOWER.

I'M REALLY NOT A BAD PERSON,

BY THE WAY, BUT THE TONE IS

SUCH ‐‐

I CAN GET GOOD RATINGS.

YOU HAVE TO ADMIT THAT.

DONALD TRUMP IS THE COLOSSUS

STRIDING OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM

RIGHT NOW.

THE COUNTRY IS GENUINELY

BEING CONVULSED BY THIS.

IT'S LIKE THE NOTION THERE IS A

RESISTANCE, WHEN MILLIONS ARE

WALKING AROUND SAYING NOT MY

PRESIDENT.

THIS CAMPAIGN WAS A CRAZY

NON‐STOP SPECTACLE.

THIS WHITE HOUSE, THIS

ADMINISTRATION ‐‐

IS CRAZY?

CRAZY.

NONSTOP ‐‐

NONSTOP ‐‐

SPECTACLE.

SPECTACLE.

THE FIRST 50 DAYS, I DON'T

KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN.

TIME HAS GONE, SO FAR, FASTER

THAN IT'S EVER GONE AND SLOWER

THAN IT'S EVER GONE.

ISN'T THAT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN

YOU'RE IN A BLACK HOLE?

THE FIRST 100 DAYS IS NORMALLY A

GREAT TIME FOR A PRESIDENT, IT'S

HIS HONEYMOON PERIOD.

TRUMP HAS HAD NO HONEYMOON.

NO HONEYMOON.

HE SKIPPED THE HONEYMOON AND

WENT STRAIGHT TO DIVORCE.

RIGHT.

IT IS TRUE THAT FOR ANY

PRESIDENT, THE TIME YOU HAVE THE

MOST CAPITAL IS AT THE VERY

BEGINNING.

RIGHT.

TRUMP, IT'S NOT REALLY DOING

ANYTHING.

DESIGNED TO BE A UNIFYING

GESTURE.

THE FIRST THING GEORGE W.

BUSH DID AFTER THAT BITTERLY

CONTESTED 2000 ELECTION WAS HE

WENT UP TO TED KENNEDY AND

PASSED A BIG BIPARTISAN

EDUCATION REFORM LAW.

THERE WAS A LOT OF WORK HE

DID TO SHOW HIS INTENT WAS TO

GOVERN FOR ALL OF AMERICA.

TRUMP IS DELIBERATELY

SAYING I WILL GOVERN FOR MY

BASE.

IT'S HARD TO GET BIG THINGS

DONE.

LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT.

HOW DO YOU GET HEALTH CARE DONE?

THAT'S THE QUESTION.

BILL AND HILLARY CLINTON TOOK

A HUGE BITE OUT OF HEALTHCARE,

THEY FAILED TO GET IT PASSED AND

PAID A HUGE POLITICAL PRICE.

BARACK OBAMA TOOK A HUGE BITE AT

IT, PASSED IT, PAID A HUGE

POLITICAL PRICE.

THIS ADMINISTRATION IS STARTING

WITH HEALTHCARE, PUT EVERYTHING

DOWN AND SAYING THAT WE WILL

REPEAL IT, PASS IT, AND IT WILL

BE POLITICALLY GREAT.

I THINK INFLAMING DEMOCRATS IN

WASHINGTON AND AROUND THE

COUNTRY TO MAKE IT VIRTUALLY
