There has never been a President more maligned by the media, and there has rarely been a president so failed by his own party in Congress.
I will say the same thing I said about Obama when his interaction with the DNC congress was clearly not one of leadership.
I love Trump, but this is a failure of leadership. He has started from an adversarial position to the GOP from the start, but this was still an issue he championed, and needed his leadership to pass. The fact that Mitch McConnell is a complete failure as a leader is beside the point.
Yes, Trump has a hundred other things to do besides shepherd legislation through the Senate, so its ridiculous to expect him to spend all of his time, or even a majority of time working on a single bill. That's honestly the job of McConnell and to a lesser extent, Pence. Note well, TruCons who are pining for Pence to be the President: failure in the Senate is failure on the part of the President of the Senate, too.
Trump is good at a lot of things, but his hostile takeover of the GOP has given certain liberal republican senators ample room to comfortably ignore him and basically act as members of the DNC.
