Shields and Brooks on Trump’s first trip, press bashing in Montana

Brooks: Under Trump, character doesn’t matter.  We are nice to Saudi Arabia and mean to Germany and France.  Values don’t matter.

Mark Shields: The budget is mean-spirited and dishonest

Brooks: Food Stamps have risen because more people are poor.

It also hurts the young and helps the old.

Shields: Medicaid is being cut by one half.  Foodstamps cut by one quarter.

here is not a single house member who regrets voting against it.

Trump set the tone by singling out the press.  Joe ___ said “You lie” and then raised $1,000.000

Brooks: In bodyslamming a reporter, at least he apologized.  That’s a step up from what we’ve seen.
