Hannity just blames Congress and making excuses for Trump..Trump has done some *good things*

If Trump gets credit for the tax cuts, that he had nothing to do with other than sign- he wasn't part of the negotiation process, why doesn't he get blame for this?

The other few things he 'gets credit for' in many ways are either symbolic or just shifting the deck chairs. Many of the regulations he supposedly repealed in reality he just centralized in the Executive Branch (giving his branch more power).

He has been a tried and true populist all the way.

Hannity is giving a pass to Donny with some of the lamest shit I ever heard.

He'll be cutting to a car chase any minute now...

LOL. I can't wait to tune in. My radio will probably explode just like my brain did when I heard that presser full of insanity.

If he hadn't been spending so much time on Twitter getting into a wizzing match with Joe Biden, among others, and maybe made some effort to actually sit down and negotiate a real budget, perhaps he would have gotten much of what he said he wanted. That he didn't knuckle down and negotiate a better deal tells me he really doesn't want to fix the illegal immigration problem. In fact, he has no intention of keeping any of his promises. He can blame congress all he wants, but the truth is, he is just like them -- another liar and thief.

I found it odd that he bragged about paying politicians off with donations, on both sides of the aisle, but yet he was going to "drain the swamp".
He is now, and always has been, part of that swamp.
FYI, the first time I heard the phrase "drain the swamp", was from Nancy Pelosi a feww years back.
Imagine that?

That assumes he was ever 100% serious about things he said during the campaign.

That assumes he was serious about anything he said at all....

Well I'll make you Trump supporters feel a little better.

He's better than Hillary...

But...

The difference is, you own this as does the GOP.

All in the name of Conservatism

I have no sympathy. He voted for the creatures that did this because despite all his 'talk' of Conservative principles' - he is stuck on practicing insanity within a thoroughly corrupted party and system. The idea of going outside the corruption is a dead-end to him. He thinks you can work from within the corruption, even when the rules are changed to make that an impossibility.

So - he can rage against the dying of the light all he likes. He helped put them there and then played cheerleader because Trump drove the Leftist media nuts.

Levin is gonna have another massive coronary when he sees Trump go and do the same schtick he did for Schumer, Clinton and DeBlasio in NY on a federal level from now on.

That will take an animated effort to pull off, which I don't have time to do.

It would be Trump morphing between himself and Al Pacino and back again in the Devil's Advocate.

I disagree with you on this. I think it was a responsible, defensible and respectable position to vote against Hillary Clinton. That's what he and many others did. The other options were not voting or voting for someone who had no chance of beating Clinton. So, just stop with that.

My vote went to someone other than Hillary or Donald, which IMO is a responsible, defensible, and respectable position.

John Galt approved this message.

4) Negotiations leading to the omnibus â€” including the immigration provisions and the lack thereof â€” have been going on for more than six months.

Trumpâ€™s back-and-forth on the 2,232-page omnibus at the last minute might create the impression that Congress â€” the Congress controlled by his own party â€” has blindsided him with this huge bill and its unsatisfying immigration provisions.

In fact, itâ€™s the product of negotiations that have been going on since last summer, when it became obvious that the regular appropriations process would, as has become customary, fail to get the job done. Congress has passed, and Trump has signed, five stopgap spending bills during these negotiations, in which the White House has been involved at every single step. Acting surprised about the omnibusâ€™s content or process now is very weird if not blatantly dishonest.

Yes, but they're operating on the assumption Trump was engaged and listening to what the legislative staff was reporting back to him.
