Trump could accomplish SO MUCH MORE if he didn't insist on getting into pissing matches constantly. I know that SOME of it is planned to divert attention, but he's reached a level of diminishing returns. I don't know if he refuses to be advised or if his advisors are crap, but he's giving the MSM and the left all they need to insure he's constantly battling them.

Thank God the dems are a dumpster fire right now.
Bush was establishment all the way. The other establishment members knew how far they could go. Even Gore caved eventually.

The Trump situation is way worse. Other than being his own enemy, his own party members have decided to do whatever they can to avoid tax reform or a real health care fix. They are all corrupt.
