I think President Donald Trump's President Donald Trump and President Donald Trump knows President Donald Trump can't win this election without the alt right -- without getting people to vote for him, whose views President Donald Trump disapproves of.

I don't worry that President Donald Trump will try to govern that way. I do worry that President Donald Trump will embolden and strengthen some of the fascist elements in our society.

And its the Democrats who want to know why there wasnt charges. They want to know what the split was between those who wanted to charge and not charge an obstruction of justice.
