░░░░░░░░ Watch this The truth ░░░░░░░░ on the Internet everything ░░░░░░░░ simplified When you meet ░░░░░░░░ face to face it ░░░░░░░░ out they are complicated ░░░░░░░░ s also by the ░░░░░░░░ harder to

comment from President ░░░░░░░░ given the history of ░░░░░░░░ divisiveness Baltimore and Ferguson ░░░░░░░░ against police officers when ░░░░░░░░ were innocent President who ░░░░░░░░ divisive Trish Jessica what ░░░░░░░░ the fact is he ░░░░░░░░ this in his first ░░░░░░░░ with a royal by ░░░░░░░░ way prince Harry and ░░░░░░░░ it on overseas soil ░░░░░░░░ used to be unwritten ░░░░░░░░ you don t criticize ░░░░░░░░ you are abroad yet ░░░░░░░░ did I don t ░░░░░░░░ that that matters actually ░░░░░░░░ what s going on ░░░░░░░░ I don t think ░░░░░░░░ venue matters or who ░░░░░░░░ was speaking to I ░░░░░░░░ Kailey said he may ░░░░░░░░ been talking about Donald ░░░░░░░░ Weighs absolutely speaking about ░░░░░░░░ president And I think ░░░░░░░░ we have all acknowledged ░░░░░░░░ there is a certain ░░░░░░░░ in which the president ░░░░░░░░ his social media accounts ░░░░░░░░ is not necessarily what ░░░░░░░░ have come to understanding ░░░░░░░░ presidential But to Kailey ░░░░░░░░ point President Obama was ░░░░░░░░ divisive I mean when ░░░░░░░░ look at the polling ░░░░░░░░ on this issue President ░░░░░░░░ 66 of Americans have ░░░░░░░░ he has done more ░░░░░░░░ divide us than unite ░░░░░░░░ Barack Obama only ever ░░░░░░░░ to 55 And George ░░░░░░░░ only got to 55 ░░░░░░░░ m sure they will ░░░░░░░░ it s the media ░░░░░░░░ It s also the ░░░░░░░░ Trish One of the ░░░░░░░░ that the president former ░░░░░░░░ Obama is criticizing is ░░░░░░░░ fact the use of ░░░░░░░░ media and Twitter That ░░░░░░░░ be something that kayly ░░░░░░░░ think the president would ░░░░░░░░ you has been extremely ░░░░░░░░ In other words he ░░░░░░░░ able to bypass reporters ░░░░░░░░ journalists and members of ░░░░░░░░ media that want to ░░░░░░░░ take certain parts of ░░░░░░░░ he says and reinterpret ░░░░░░░░ and spin it out ░░░░░░░░ the public Is he ░░░░░░░░ to bypass that level ░░░░░░░░ go straight to them ░░░░░░░░ And that to him ░░░░░░░░ a ton of value ░░░░░░░░ that s exactly right ░░░░░░░░ is really indispensable to ░░░░░░░░ the president is doing ░░░░░░░░ you said it s ░░░░░░░░ direct connection to the ░░░░░░░░ people He is facing ░░░░░░░░ hatred from some members ░░░░░░░░ the mainstream media You ░░░░░░░░ the Harvard study that ░░░░░░░░ 80 of the coverage ░░░░░░░░ his first 100 days ░░░░░░░░ negative The new mrc ░░░░░░░░ research center said 90 ░░░░░░░░ coverage in first year ░░░░░░░░
