Democrats are confused why President Trump's foreign policy seems to be working.

The media experts demonstrate they know nothing about gender or babies, and we check the mailbag.

Okay, so President Trump is at a very good week on foreign policy. A very good week on foreign policy. First of all, there was the removal of the United States from the Iran deal, which was, as I've said, many times, a very strong move, a useful move. also, President Trump was able to bring home three American citizens who had been held captive in North Korea.

They thanked him for it. also, President Trump was able to bring home three American citizens who had been held captive

in North Korea. They thanked him for it. All of this very good for President Trump. And Democrats

are sort of baffled by all of this. They don't understand why is it that Donald Trump,

this rube, this supposed idiot, why is it that his foreign policy seems to be achieving greater

results than Barack Obama's awful foreign policy, which was based very much on the idea of a world working together where we reach out our hands, an open hand. And we never threaten. No, we never threaten. If we do threaten, we don't really mean it, like in Syria. But instead, what we really should do is we should all just hug it out. Why is it that Donald Trump's view is working better?

And why does it resonate more with Americans?

Why is it?

You can see the puzzlement on the faces of the folks in the media.
