Trump faces the same problems with Congress Obama did. The big question is, what's he going to do about it? If Trump can find a way to deal with the Tea Party / Freedom Caucus Congressmen and cut them off at the knees, he'll have done the nation a big favor. It's a challenge and maybe he's up to it. We'll see. But as Costa pointed out, Trump can point-out to each of these Tea Party clowns that he (Trump) received more votes in their own districts than they did themselves. Trump thinks he needs to find a way to make those 27 Congressmen fear him. That's one approach, maybe charm didn't work. Trump already has one defector in Ted Poe, but he needs more. Sdgla thinks a Constitutional Convention making Trump Dictator for life "will fix it", but ask him how happy he would have been with Obama as dictator for life - people have to be careful about their choices.

It's now revealed Trump used the charm-approach and it really didn't work. Trump had Congressman Mark Meadows, the chairman of the so called 'freedom caucus', whisked-off to Mar-a-Lago to spend one-on-one time with Trump. Trump made a deal and then Meadows welshed on it, making additional demands right before the vote. Trump clearly realizes what he's dealing with now. The Tea Party Congressment aren't honest - they're not interested in the art of the deal - they're merely arsonists and assholes. We'll all see how Trump deals with arsonists and assholes. Does he give them the 'comfy chair routine' or can he find something horrible? Or maybe Trump pivots so he can simply ignore them?
