President Trump speak at The American Farm Bureau Convention
President Trump spoke in Nashville on Tuesday at The American Farm Bureau Convention. This is the first time we have heard from the President since the release of White House tell-all "Fire and Fury." Washington Examiner media reporter Eddie Scarry, weighs in as Trump made comments.
Scarry says the President enjoys doing thing speeches, where he has something to tout, like the recent passage of tax reform.
