Backroom Politics

This week on BACKROOM POLITICS... The turmoil in the West Wing.... Amid departures and infighting amongst the senior officials in the White House, the President decides now would be a good time for a TRADE WAR... as he announces tarrifs on aluminum and steel...only he should have told his administration that this was coming (which he didn't)... This as the President is still realing from the departure of Hope Hicks, possible departure of National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster, and tension between the Oval Office and the Attorney General...how does the President right this ship? Amid active movements to enable gun safety legislation...we are seeing two-stepping only available in country bars.  From the White House to Congress to State Legislature across the nation...when will the nation's leaders listen? The Teachers Strike in West Virginia, why should American be paying attention...and why should we care?  And of course, our weekly RUSSIAN ROUNDUP which this week invloves Ja-Vanka, more possible indictments,
