Both failed because there are too many Democrats in the Senate. It takes 60 votes to get those sort of things through. Democrats voted against those things so that they could say, "OH, yeah? Well, where's the..... (blah-blah-blah). I though you were gonna get it done on day one" and on and on.
The cure: Vote out all Democrats.
No, but he said he was the great deal maker, he wrote the Art of the Deal.
The best thing Trump has done, is to have awakened many millions of democratic voters, who will turn out en masse this fall and oust his whole rotten bunch of supporters in congress. Then, two months later, he and Pence will be booted and a decent, truthful and respectable person will be in the White House. One of the greatest challenges our country has ever faced, will be to rebuild all the damage he has caused, at home and abroad, but we can do it. His kind will never again gain any traction in our politics, as we won't forget this horrible mistake we allowed an ignorant minority to foist on us.
How "Trump Trauma" Is Crippling the News Media (Guest Column)

(snip)
Donald Trump is staking his presidency, as he did his election, on nothing less than destroying the credibility of the news media; and the media are determined to do the same to him. This is not just a feud or a fight or a battle. It is scorched-earth warfare in which only one side can achieve victory. To a stunning degree, the press is falling into the president's trap.
The country's top news organizations have targeted Trump with an unprecedented barrage of negative stories, with some no longer making much attempt to hide their contempt. Some stories are legitimate, some are not, and others are generated by the president's own falsehoods and exaggerations. But the mainstream media, subconsciously at first, has lurched into the opposition camp and is appealing to an anti-Trump base of viewers and readers, failing to grasp how deeply it is distrusted by a wide swath of the country.
These are not easy words for me to write. I am a lifelong journalist with ink in my veins. And for all my criticism of the media's errors and excesses, I have always believed in the mission of aggressive reporting and holding politicians accountable.
But the past two years have radicalized me. I am increasingly troubled by how many of my colleagues have decided to abandon any semblance of fairness out of a conviction that they must save the country from Trump.
