Re: U.S President: Donald Trump

Looks like it's actually worse news for Trump than I thought.

Quote:
How disastrous is this for Trump? Analysis by Anthony Zurcher, North America reporter
How bad was Friday's defeat of the American Health Care Act in the House of Representatives? Bad. Very bad.
The American Health Care Act was the first major piece of legislation pushed by the White House and the Republican-controlled Congress, a key political test early in the president's term, when he should be at the height of his power and party cohesion at its strongest.
In spite of all of this, Mr Trump, House Speaker Paul Ryan and the Republicans running Washington could not get the job done.
For Republicans Friday wasn't just bad. It was a disaster.

But despite the President's self-proclaimed business skills hyped in the books ascribed to him, many people see his admission of defeat after all the lobbying as a damaging loss of face...
If the vote to repeal Obamacare was Mr Trump's high-profile attempt to show who is the boss of that country, the President or Congress, it has signally failed to make the matter clear.
