Trumpery, the paper tiger

Trumpery: "This will be great if we get it done and if we don't get it done it's going to be something that we're not going to like and that's OK and I can understand that."
   

Trumpery: "I think the Senate bill is going to be great."

Ya think?

The similarities between Trumpery and LePig are stark. Due to their "CEO", "run government like a business" mentality, neither can get much done. Government is not a business, nor should it be run like one.

"This president is the first president in our history who has neither political nor military experience, and thus it has been a challenge to him to learn how to interact with Congress and learn how to push his agenda better," said Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, who opposes the current health-care bill.

In private conversations on Capitol Hill, Trumpery is often not taken seriously. Some Republican lawmakers consider some of his promises — such as making Mexico pay for a new border wall — fantastical. They are exhausted and at times exasperated by his hopscotching from one subject to the next, chronicled in his pithy and provocative tweets. They are quick to point out how little command he demonstrates of policy. And they have come to regard some of his threats as empty, concluding that crossing the president poses little danger.

SJ Link

One senior Republican close to both the White House and many senators called Trumpery and his political operation "a paper tiger," noting how many GOP lawmakers feel free "to go their own way."

John Weaver, a GOP consultant and frequent Trumpery critic, was more blunt in explaining why Trumpery has been unable to rule with a hammer. "When you have a 35 percent approval rating and you're under FBI investigation, you don't have a hammer," he said, referring to the probe of possible connections between the Trumpery campaign and Russia.

A senator who supports the bill left the meeting at the White House with a sense that the president did not have a grasp of some basic elements of the Senate plan — and seemed especially confused when a moderate Republican complained that opponents of the bill would cast it as a massive tax break for the wealthy,” the Times reported a senate staffer revealed.

The senator also said that Trumpery said he would navigate tax reform later, and seemed to ignore the tax implications that are part of the new health bill.
Trumpery then went on to declare victory of the meeting.    

Trumpery: “I just finished a great meeting with the Republican Senators concerning HealthCare. They really want to get it right, unlike OCare!”
