0:00.0 | Welcome to the beat. I'm Ari Melba reporting on this 100th day of Donald Trump's term, |
0:04.9 | which is a traditional time for the report card of a new president's term. And Trump is drawing |
0:09.5 | low grades from Wall Street today, the conservative Wall Street Journal, reporting on the |
