Ryan and the GOP blocked funding for the wall and McCain voted to keep Obamacare. Trump did what he could but got zero support from a Republican controlled Congress….who also fanned the flames of the Russia collusion hoax. I don’t see how you can lay this at his feet.

I’ve always said his biggest weakness was creating enemies he didn’t need, but if you think he had GOP support for his agenda you’re deluding yourself.

Because of Trump's style and inability to lead.

Yes. I already said he failed.

Did he accomplish the goals, or make enemies of politicians he needed to accomplish the goals? He made enemies.

What did he do to mend things after he burned bridges? Nothing. He just burned bridges with their allies to embolden them.

No, he didn't.

He voted for the people of Arizona, and against the shite bill Republicans put on the table. Six percent of Arizona citizens supported that trash.

Six. Percent.
