This Is Why Trump Is Failing

[Kathianne]

he is an 'outsider', not a politician. He hasn't a clue how to get ideas through to legislation and seemingly gets irritated at the process. Unfortunately there is a Constitutional process and it's written to be very time consuming and burdensome. When interest is lost, nothing gets accomplished.

Yes, the link is Politico, but the contents are worth reading:

It's long, I don't know who, if anyone will bother to read, but it's past time to stop whining about how he gets so much criticism.

So much for the business man in the white house experiment. Could still be an interesting idea, just a shame it had to be a crook like Trump.

TDS...Trump Derangement Syndrome .

The only people who insist Trump is failing are those who put their hatred of Trump, ahead of the entire nation.

Bannon's Exit Leaves Trump Untethered
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics...thered/537354/

With Bannon gone, Trump no longer has much connection to either the GOP establishment—he only recently became a Republican, and has little adherence to its traditional platform—or to the upstart faction that drove his win. Since his implicit endorsement of some white nationalism on Tuesday, he has taken criticism from Republicans unequalled since the October release of a video in which he bragged about sexually assaulting women. The Bannon firing is unlikely to sit well with Breitbart, and Joel Pollak, an editor there, tweeted “#WAR” in response. Bannon himself, with a sharp tongue and being media savvy, could also make for an unpleasant enemy on the outside.

It wasn't that long. A recurring theme in that article is the GOP complaining about instability in the administration specifically where legislative goals are concerned.

The President is not part of the legislative branch and the failure of Ryan and McConnell to gain the support they need to achieve goals highlights their incompetence, not Trump. It's Trump's fault that not all GOP Senators respect McConnell? As far as I know Trump hasn't vetoed anything, Congress needs to get him some important legislation to sign into law and if they don't that's their failure, not Trump's, unless their true purpose is to oppose Trump.

The investigation circus being aimed at Trump right now could not be happening without the support and blessing of the GOP yet they complain about that circus.

They need to work together, they are not the weakest link. His looking to 'primary' those that disagree with him says all that needs saying.

Seriously the snowflake defense. I'm so pissed that my guy won and no one will get in goose step as he promised!

Who do you replace Ryan and McConnell with that would make the needed difference?

That does say a lot but I think we disagree on what exactly it says.

It won't matter, but that's not Trump's fault. The GOP doesn't want to work with him and they don't have to.

The voters will decide that next year. So far the GOP seems to think their base agrees with what they are doing. Enough to be re-elected that is.

Why you think this is relevant I do not know.

Let me short-bus this for you. The Republicans in the Politico article are blaming Trump for a set of circumstances they themselves wanted to see happen and did make happen.

It's enough that trump will never be impeached.

We do. The problem is if you want to have someone's 'support' you've got to realize that even if they don't always agree with you, you got to have their back.

Flake for instance, has voted Trump's way nearly 100%. What he won't due is join the cult of Trump. He sees the man as fundamentally flawed, he's not alone. So was Clinton and so was Nixon.

Let me short bus this for you. It's then the will of the voters. Repubs won't do anything to sour they're own base. The voters are turning against Trump.
