DOUG WEAD (PRESIDENTIAL HISTORIAN): This is everything FDR dreamed for -- the New Deal to put America back to work. Think of LBJ, and -- he gave people food stamps and welfare. Donald Trump's giving them a job and nobody's talking about it, so of course he wants to talk about it. Remember, in the 2016 campaign, Hillary went nine months without a press conference. It was a big scandal, and that's because she didn't want to talk. Donald Trump wants to talk because he's got a lot of good things to talk about.
