By Seung Min Kim and Seung Min Kim White House reporter Email Bio Follow Erica Werner Erica Werner Congressional reporter focusing on economic policy Email Bio Follow April 2 at 8:25 PM President Trump has left his advisers and GOP lawmakers reeling from policy whiplash in recent days, cycling through new ideas on health care and immigration that underscore his continuing struggle to pursue a coherent domestic agenda in a divided Washington.
The battles illustrate the difficulties Trump and Republicans have had in adjusting to Democratic control of the House after two years of uncontested GOP power in Congress and the White House. But many Republicans say they have adapted to the pandemonium — learning to privately sway Trump by warning him of the consequences of his policy declarations, many of which are launched in late-night or early-morning tweets.
“If we get back the House, and on the assumption we keep the Senate and we keep the presidency — which I hope are two good assumptions — we’re going to have phenomenal health care,” Trump said as he sat next to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in the Oval Office. One genesis of Trump’s public retreat was private nudging from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell , who along with most Senate Republicans was displeased by the unexpected health-care push.
“I made it clear to him we were not going to be doing that in the Senate,” McConnell said of health care, stressing the challenges of writing legislation that could pass muster with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi . “We don’t have a misunderstanding about that.”
And?

TermLimitsNow
Hell....he’s struggling with pronouncing basic words.....one step at a time....
Security over trade? Or bigotry? Food For Thought 📖 Chapter 17. Sample truth through the lies of fiction. SiSePuede
drumf 100% unfit for office.
Lol keep trying.
I really liked how this post started: 'Trump leaves Washington'😄
Poor, Mitch. He tries so hard. To be serious and methodical. And then this 200-lbs. rubber chicken comes falling from the sky.
Literally, 'bout time for the Orange Clown Car to load up for Mar-a-Lago to cheat at golf all weekend. When the going gets tough, AF1 gases up for a quick departure w/a faster turn around than they perform for incoming nuclear weapons..
This what makes many of our politicians despicable. GOP knows full well that Trump is unfit as POTUS & would see him destroy our country, constitution, democracy, ally friendships, allow corruption, racism, bigotry as long as they can appoint few judges & bills down our throats
Just so long as he leaves Washington. 😏
Oranges or Origins
Trump struggles with domestic agenda. And the word oranges. And anonymity. And Nepal. And it's not two Corinthians!! I'm an atheist and I know that it's second! second! Corinthians. But I digress.
Ignore POTUS focus on Congress instead
ILLEGALS get more Taxpayer's FREE STUFF than REAL AMERICANS but that's a BRIBE BY THE DEMOCRAT SOCIALISTS to ensure they VOTE DEMOCRAT! Inner City BLACKS should be mad since they are STEALING MONEY from Blacks.
He has no agenda or policy. That's the underlying problem. Perhaps focus on that.
The chaos that realDonaldTrump creates is only a glimpse of the chaos that controls his delusional brain.
He has no agenda. He has no idea how to govern. This man is the WorstPresidentEver.
Dumbold Trump struggles with domestic program, is ignorant on foreign affairs and wants to take away health care! 4 more years?
Trump was throwing out names of Republicans,who he said were 'working' on this great HealthcareForAll plan. It's soon turned out that NONE of them had the slightest clue, & were TERRIFIED that Trump had brought up, what Dems used in 2018; & will do that again in 2020; GLADLY!
This really makes my day...they give me such a laugh while they try and put Trump in such a Bad light everyday that I dont even need a booster pill.
Lol. Trump has a domestic agenda? Hating brown people is racism, not policy.
Ignorance abounds in the Federal Government
He struggles with an umbrella FFS...
Seriously, anyone in the same room listening to his nonsense / mangled sentences and lies is losing brain cells. Someone shut him up.
You had me we with trump leaving Washington. Then I got disappointed
'reeling'? Really? Fake news. Trump is not reeling. No wonder Americans hate reporters. Fully earned.
i’d to know who whispered in his ear to defund the special Olympics and repeal OScare and blew out his tires in the middle of BS victory lap. payday mickey or hucksterberry hound?
We love trump
