Boehner: Trump has been 'complete disaster'
By Pete Schroeder May 26, 2017
WASHINGTON, May 26 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's time in office has been a "complete disaster" aside from foreign affairs, fellow Republican and former U.S. House Speaker John Boehner said at an energy conference.
The former Ohio congressman said he has been friends with Trump for 15 years but never thought he would occupy the White House.
And while he praised Trump's aggressive steps to challenge the Islamic State militant group and other moves in international affairs, he was highly critical of the president's other early efforts.
"Everything else he's done has been a complete disaster," Boehner said at the energy conference in Houston on Wednesday, according to the energy publication Rigzone. "He's still learning how to be president."
A spokesman for Boehner confirmed the comments.
Boehner, who resigned from Congress in 2015, was also highly critical of efforts by the administration and his former Republican colleagues in Congress to advance sweeping healthcare and tax reform plans.
He said Republicans should never have tried to "repeal and replace" the Affordable Care Act, even after the House narrowly passed an overhaul measure. The Senate is considering its own version of the package.
And he dismissed tax reform efforts, which form a cornerstone of the Republican policy agenda, as "just a bunch of happy talk."

Boehner: Trump has been 'complete disaster'
Boehner said that? That's probably going to have the opposite effect from what he expects.
-
And if ANYBODY knows about complete disasters....
-
I'm sure Boehner thinks his time as Speaker was some sort of success.
-
Well if there's anyone who knows about being a 'complete disaster' it's Boner.
-
Was he crying when he said it?
-
Was he crying when he said it?
Probably not since he knows his hand picked successor will keep things in place!

The crying Boehner pics at TOS never got old did they? always gave me a chuckle.
-
It really doesn't say much much for a former ranking Member to refer to accomplishing something as a complete disaster.

Why did a guy who knows nothing and done nothing on energy be invited as keynote speaker at a global energy conference?
Hus ramblings during his talk included "I wake up every day, drink my morning coffee and say hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah."
I believe that conference sponsor KPMG is showing poor discretion in its arrangements, unless it was on some type of rescue mission for alcoholics.
