Climbdown or U-turn? Donald Trump changes course

The president seems to be changing tack in Minneapolis. He’s bringing in Tom Homan, his border tsar.

Out goes Border Patrol head Greg Bovino, who some say is now out of a job completely in the administration.

And - the president sits down for an interview with New York Magazine about his health.
