Sen. Cotton: Trump 'Could Be More Focused' on His Agenda

President Donald Trump “could be more focused and disciplined about staying on his agenda," according to Arkansas Republican Sen. Tom Cotton.

"I think the president could be more focused and disciplined about staying on his agenda," Cotton said on David Axelrod's "The Axe Files" podcast on CNN Monday.

Trump took to Twitter to criticize London Mayor Sadiq Khan and the U.S. Justice Department in the wake of the attack on London Bridge.

At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and Mayor of London says there is "no reason to be alarmed!"

Pathetic excuse by London Mayor Sadiq Khan who had to think fast on his "no reason to be alarmed" statement. MSM is working hard to sell it!

The Justice Dept. should have stayed with the original Travel Ban, not the watered down, politically correct version they submitted to S.C.

The Justice Dept. should ask for an expedited hearing of the watered down Travel Ban before the Supreme Court - & seek much tougher version!

"I've communicated that publicly as well as privately to him," Cotton said.

He added that Trump should be focused on "things like jobs, wages and security," instead of the investigation into allegations of Russian interference in the election.

"To the extent that he's focused on all of the hair on fire, wild-eyed allegations and drama around these inquiries, he's going to do less well," Cotton said.
