you cannot imagine ronald reagan or george w. bush or bill clinton or barack obama whining like a child on twitter and mocking their staff. it is so un -- it's so far beyond unpresidential and unprofessional. it's just completely unacceptable and he's acting like a petulant child, so yeah, it's causing a problem with recruitment. i think some are thinking why should i work for a guy who's laughing when i have my communications director accusing my chief of staff of a felony? and saying words i can't say on cable news about it and who's chuckling about it and who wants -- who is kind of participating himself in the twitter in the name calling. unbelievably petulant and childish. i think it's a problem. >> ana, there's no problem with recruitment in this administration. there are plenty of people that want to come serve their country. they want to work in the trump administration. some of them don't have the typical government experience which is a good thing. that's what president trump was elected to do and he's bringing people i

are there any long >> well, i think to some degree, they used to call ronald reagan the at the time lon president and we are seeing here is another one of those. people want serious things done. i think the failure of obamacare, and repeal obamacare, that's serious. some of the other things are just fluff, and i don't think they will stick at all. >> dean? >> i think that the reality his approval ratings show donald trump at near record lows around 39% average right now. what's going to happen is republicans closer to midterms won't stick their neck out for donald trump, and it will stop. we have a lame duck president at this time, which again, even eto i'm partisan, is not good for the united states of america. we at least need bipartisan work, and jeffrey, i hope you will join me. expand eligibility. all americans, health care. let's finally do it. >> that ends our session. >> are there any prizes? i did pretty good. can you shore our answers? nothing? >> i'm definitely not scorekeeper. i'm just the ring leader. >> we need judges. >> we'll have you back. that was a lot of fun. thank y

and ronald reagan removed those so lar panels from the white house jimmy carter had installed. but presidential historian says those changes pale in comparison to what trump is doing. >> trump is trying to score point after point with his base by anything that obama signed or did or said or had his name attached to. donald trump wants to kind of erase it from history. >> the question going forward, can trump create a legacy of his own beyond destroying that of his predecessor? >> and jason carol, thank you very that reporting. coming up, how much tv does president trump watch every day? you might be surprised to find out. plus, how it reflects his long-standing focus on his own image. what do you think? hate to play devil's advocate but... i kind of feel like it's a game changer. i wouldn't go that far. are you there? he's probably on mute. yeah... gary won't like it. why? because he's gary. (phone ringing) what? keep going! yeah... (laughs) (voice on phone) it's not millennial enough. there are a lot of ways to say no. thank you so much. thank you! so we're doing it. yes! star

what happened to that picture of ronald reagan behind you that you used to always -- used to be so prominent. >> i know. i had cataract surgery on my right eye. and i am strictly forbidden by the doctor from lifting the printer behind me and putting it on the floor and putting president reagan there. so until next week we've got to leave the printer where it is. >> reagan got upstaged by a printer. well, we wish you a fast recovery. >> fast recovery. >> thank you, both. thanks again guys. >>> coming up, taxing trump, the legal fight over how much the president's business has to pay in taxes on his u.s. golf resorts. >>> plus, what a group of goats has to do with all of it. you're live in the "cnn newsroom." wise man, i'm nervous about things i can't control... affecting my good credit score. i see you've planted an uncertainty tree. chop that thing down. the clarity you seek... lies within the creditwise app from capital one. creditwise helps you protect your credit. and it's completely free for everyone. it's free for everyone? do hawks use the stars to navigate? i don't know. aw, i thought

jeffrey, you worked for ronald reagan. you're a conservative, ronald reagan and barry goldwater, have to be rolling over in their graves right now, that this -- that president trump with this behavior is carrying the flag for the conservative movement or the republican party or however you want to characterize it, this is not presidential, it -- again, one tweet is -- does not change everything. and by the way, i acknowledge, i think i said yesterday that this is still popular with his supporters, right? 80% of republicans still support the president in approval polls, that doesn't mean it's presidential, and that doesn't mean this had is helping anybody solve the many challenges that are facing the people that voted for him. >> i think he is doing that. i think he's -- the tweet that boris just read from friday, is quite clearly, he's working on this. >> i mean, i don't know -- >> we have to leave it there, gentlemen. we have plenty to discuss, we hope you will stick around and join us later tonight. thank you so much for

who knows whether -- it's the old ronald reagan. they told him about iran contra and he forgot. this is a situation where at a certain point you don't want to box yourself in and eliminate an exit strategy. >> michael, president trump's re-election campaign is paid $50,000 to the law firm now representing his son donald trump junior. on june 27th is when the payment was made. that's when he amended his security clearance form to reflect this undisclosed meeting. is that appropriate, that money going from the re-election campaign to a lawyer for his son? >> if the expenditure from the campaign is on behalf of stuff that junior did on behalf of the campaign, then, yes, it is appropriate. if not, it's not appropriate. as i looked at the filings, there were two filings. one about two weeks before the second one, which is on june 27th. you had payments to this same lawyer, donald trump junior's lawyer as i read it before the revelations and then after the revelatio revelations. if it was before the revelations and it related to these meetings in anticipation of it, then that might im

. >> ronald reagan never posted a picture of wrestlemania or the wwe. this has corrosive effects that are going to be with us for a long time. >> we have to leave it there. brian, jeffrey, david, my thanks to all of you. enjoy your independence day. thank you very much. >>> coming up, trump about to be tested, including a meeting with vladamir putin and a day in france with the mans who called this hand shake a moment of truth. "how to win at business." step one: point decisively with the arm of your glasses. abracadabra. the stage is yours. step two: choose la quinta. the only hotel where you can redeem loyalty points for a free night-instantly and win at business. is to always keep track of your employees.r micromanage them. make sure they're producing. woo! employee of the month! you really shouldn't leave their side. vita coco coconut water, hydration comes naturally. manait's a series of is nsmart choices. and when you replace one meal or snack a day with glucerna made with carbsteady to help minimize blood sugar spikes you can really feel it. gluc

and the reason for that is donald trump doesn't get it, doesn't understand what ronald reagan understood from day one, which is that an outsider president has to empower a savvy white house chief of staff to execute his agenda, to act as a gatekeeper and to get things done. and until trump learns that lesson, he's headed for the rocks. >> so you don't think reince priebus was empowered, just to give our viewers a little bit of insight about the dynamics between these two. >> no, that's true. >> "the washington post" has reported that at one point during priebus' tenure donald trump, the president, summoned priebus to the oval office to get rid of a fly. >> yeah. >> i mean, what does that say about the role priebus had in this administration and how the president viewed his white house chief of staff? >> well, it tells you everything. it tells you what is the really central question right now as we speak. it tells you that donald trump doesn't understand the importance of respecting a white house chief of staff and empowering him to get the job done. there's no replacement for that. i mea
