, day 97 of the trump presidency, a pivotal day for him as commander-in-chief and tax cutter in chief. the white house gave the public details on a tax proposal that the treasury secretary called the biggest tax cut in u.s. history. it would, according to the u.s. administration, reduce the number of tax brackets from seven to three. it would create bigger breaks for child care costs, repeal the estate tax and the alternative minimum tax, and end most itemized deductions. what we do not know, what many republicans still don't know, is the effect it will have on the $19 trillion national debt. this is all happening at the same time that nearly the entire senate is headed to the white house for a special and perhaps unprecedented briefing on north korea. let's start with this major announcement on tax cuts. cnn's jim acosta live for us at the white house right now. jim, one top republican aid is already saying that this isn't even close to tax reform. what does he mean by that? >> reporter: he means, jake, that they don't have all the details yet and the white house is talking up this t

. exactly one week later on thursday april 6th, the trump administration executed as sharp a u-turn in foreign policy as we have seen in modern history. in particular when it comes to the u.s. posture toward syria and it's now six-year long civil war, which by some estimates killed 500,000 people. one week after essentially rex tillerson said it's not our problem trump ordered an attack, his owen citizens rebelling against the rule, horrific images splashed across american media. how much of this u-turn was a change of heart by donald trump or how much of a u-turn was this change of heart by donald trump? well, trump has been clear about opposing any u.s. intervention in syria since at least 2013 when he posted tweets like these posted at then president barack obama. what i am saying is stay out of syria. in all caps, again, to our very foolish leader, do not attack syria. if you do, many bad things will happen. from that fight the u.s. gets nothing! . the white house trump's involvement went well beyond what could generously called benign neglect when he tried to pass not one but two

goes on. president trump's 100th day in office. he spent the day at a forum he often enjoys. he's going to take the stage of a large rally for supporters in harrisburg, pennsylvania. donald trump at times has said the hundred-day benchmark is anything as much as ridiculous. if you are expecting a sober reflection from the commander in chief you may not have seen some recent evidence. >> i don't think anybody has ever done this much in a hundred days. >> a strong argument there and the president expected to continue it, taking it directly to rally goers going through what he sees as the greatest hits of the first hundred days. we'll show you live. it's obviously a big piece of contrast to tonight's dinner. that's the other big event we'll cover tonight. the president not attending the annual white house correspondents' dinner. as we speak, a large crowd is beginning arrivals at the washington hilton for what's usually a chance to see a u.s. president actually play nice with those people who cover him every day. no secret by now this president has a very different relationship with the pr

. absolutely. >> some new economic numbers out today and there is no trump bump. wall street, yes, is doing well, but the overall u.s. economy barely grew in the first three months of 2017. what's your verdict? for starters, not just the president getting mediocre grades. he has a 33% approval rating. look at house speaker paul ryan, 38% of americans have a favorable view of the house speaker. that's down from 46% in january. i'm guessing the obamacare appeal has something to do with that. mitch mcconnell is at 27% but he's up from 20%. republicans are driving that increase if you want to call it that. republicans happy. mitch mcconnell got the president supreme court nominee confirmed. what else is happening? another stunning number if toyo want to take a look. the american people back in january 50% thought president trump would get the repeal and replace vote through the congress for obamacare. now i guess you've been paying attention. only 20% of americans believe that the congress and president trump will repeal and replace obamacare. that confidence is slipping. remember the pre

get new and suspicious news about the connection between donald trump's people and what they were doing in that other capitol hill. new documents released today by the ranking democrat on the house oversight committee reveal that the pentagon's watchdog agency is investigating those foreign payments that trump's ousted national security adviser michael flynn received in 2015 and 2016. that includes the payments from the kremlin propaganda network rt that connects flynn to russia and vladimir putin himself. this follows the charge made by the leade of the house oversight committee on tuesday of this week that flynn never got th permission required to accept that foreign income, nor did he disclose it in renewing his security clearance in 2016, which is required by law. the ranking democrat on that committee, u.s. congressman elijah cummings now wants to know what the trump transition and the trump white house new about flynn's failure to properly disclose those payments and when they knew it. today, u.s. congressman cummings accused the mouwhite house of obstructing, threatening to

donald trump responding to trump's earlier attack on the freedom caucus, for the central role they played in tanking one of trump's key campaign promises to repeal and replace obamacare. on thursday morning, the president tweeted, "the freedom caucus will hurt the entire republican agenda if they don't get on the team and fast. we must fight them and dems in 2018!" trump's declaration of war against the gop's most conservative wing, formerly known as the tea party, prompted this response from amash. "it didn't take long for the swamp to drain real donald trump. no shame, mr. president, almost everyone succumbs to the d.c. establishment." then trump decided to get specific and singled out individual freedom caucus members, meadows, jim jordan and rau labrador. then things got really ugly. trump's social media director took to twitter to summon the power of the trump train to defeet amash in a primary challenge. which might prove a bit tricky because the freedom caucus members were the original anti-government, anti-establishment outsider candidates beloved by the gop base. they spec

"washington journal" is next. ♪ host: good morning. it is sunday, april 9, 2017, and on today's "washington journal" the headline focuses on donald trump's changing foreign policy. last week, international challenges dominated the white house agenda from the chemical attack in syria that spurred a u.s. strike on a syrian air base to the president meeting with key heads of state, including chinese president xi. the trump administration international policy is taking a dramatic shift from the campaign message of america first. a shakeup in his own team last week shows that he is more heavily trying to rely on his military and foreign-policy advisers than his inner circle of mostly political players as he deals with these issues. today, we are asking our viewers about the confidence in the president's foreign policy and in his foreign policy team. republicans, call 202-748-8001. democrats, 202-748-8000. independents can call 202-748-80

show is when the trump administration takes into account democratic position and is als willing to e in our direction, they can make progress on issues as we have on the appropriations bills. on those appropriations bills, of course there are few remaining issues to be settled. the most vexing is poison pill riders. we won't accept them, but i believe that we are close to final agreement. our side will continue to work in good faith to see that an agreement is reached to keep the government open by tomorrow's deadline, and i hope this is something of a metaphor for the future, that the administration won't put together its plan and say bipartisanship means you support our plan without any democratic consultation, input, or more importantly taking into account our values which we believe are close to where american values are and much closer than some on the other side. on taxes, mr. president, yesterday the president released -- and this is not as good news, unfortunately -- yesterday the president released a one-page outline of his plan to change the u.s. tax code. even from the ver
