I don't watch Fox and Trump doesn't know when to keep his big mouth shut. He can barely deliver a statement even when there is a teleprompter for him to follow. As for handlers he doesn't play well with others so even his own team never knows what garbage may come out of his mouth or even better on his Twitter Rants...

Why a program like that ever had an expiration date is beyond me.
I assume it was because it was a "pilot" program. President Trump signed it into a permanent policy.

After digesting all the information it would appear that Trump took full credit for something that was implemented by the Obama administration.

Not surprising considering it's Trump but not scandalous really.

It's just another bogus BS lie by Trump. I'm glad he got pushed back on, and glad he walks away from the podium.

He shows the old axiom- 'You can dish it out but you can't take it'.

You must be blind.

Even if there is merit to these questions, which in this case it’s questionable, the tone is nothing more than a gotcha moment. I certainly don’t remember Obama getting these types of questions during the fast and furious scandal. Just look at how Biden was treated over his sexual assault allegations.

So he should be taking credit for that program.
Why doesn’t he?

He’s repeated the lie about the other program over one hundred times.
Why not just talk about, and take credit for, the program he did implement?

Maybe he doesn’t remember.

God forbid Trump loses, how will liberals have a job? Bashing Trump is full time employment for them.
They won't need a job. They earn more being unemployed anyway.

People who don't watch FOX are missing all the positives of his presidency that the liberal media refuses to cover. As far as not playing well with others, Biden's angry outbursts ("are you a junkie??" to a journalist or "you're FOS" to a voter) doesn't bode well for his temperament. i saw where his aide tried to get him to stop speaking, but he just said "shsssh!" to her.

Maybe he doesn’t remember.
