Why is Trump wasting time with sanctions on North Korea?

2018-05-03 01:00:55 UTC  

It's a bit disingenuous to say the entire caravan got through, we definitely need to repeal stuff like the refugee act and stuff like that

2018-05-03 01:00:56 UTC  

but not Mexico?

2018-05-03 01:01:18 UTC  

Trump should've threatened to sanction Mexico if they didn't break up the caravan

2018-05-03 01:01:24 UTC  

but no, he's a failure

2018-05-03 01:01:39 UTC  

Yeah, absolutely he should've taken a stronger stand.

2018-05-03 01:02:03 UTC  

"Do something Congress! Do something Mexico!"

2018-05-03 01:02:07 UTC  

Not how it works buddy

2018-05-03 01:02:15 UTC  

You need leverage for threats to work

2018-05-03 01:02:23 UTC  

Come on, he doesn't have that power with Congress and you know it

2018-05-03 01:02:27 UTC  

It's barely a trickle of people from the caravan got through

2018-05-03 01:02:45 UTC  

That's why Trump needs to threaten the idiots in Congress

2018-05-03 01:02:49 UTC  

He has leverage, he may just be planning to use it for other means, that's what I'd guess.

2018-05-03 01:02:51 UTC  

He should threaten to primary them all

2018-05-03 01:02:59 UTC  

We don't know everything that happens at these top levels

2018-05-03 01:03:13 UTC  

Why has Trump entrusted Ryan and McConnell with all the decisions?

2018-05-03 01:03:22 UTC  

The President is supposed to set the agenda

2018-05-03 01:03:55 UTC  

Nobody expected Congress to actually embrace Trump's agenda

2018-05-03 01:04:06 UTC  

That's why we expected Trump to be a fighter

2018-05-03 01:04:29 UTC  

But the second he entered office, he became all friendly with these clowns!

2018-05-03 01:04:47 UTC  

He pretty much told Ryan and McConnell, "Have at it, buddy!"

2018-05-03 01:04:52 UTC  

"Do things your way!"

2018-05-03 01:04:58 UTC  

That's why healthcare failed

2018-05-03 01:05:01 UTC  

He trusted Ryan

2018-05-03 01:05:08 UTC  

That's why immigration reform will fail

2018-05-03 01:05:11 UTC  

Well, things haven't been perfect.

2018-05-03 01:05:18 UTC  

Because he's not taking the leadership position

2018-05-03 01:05:35 UTC  

There are two possibilities, FLanon

2018-05-03 01:05:41 UTC  

and you can pick one or the other

2018-05-03 01:05:50 UTC  

Either Trump is too scared to fight for his agenda

2018-05-03 01:06:00 UTC  

or Trump doesn't care enough to fight for his agenda

2018-05-03 01:06:02 UTC  

pick one

2018-05-03 01:06:31 UTC  

I don't exactly know what kind of pressure the man is under

2018-05-03 01:08:15 UTC  

Who's to say really what happens at that level, but we have to see what's going on. There's definitely things at play that we have to keep in mind. Let's just do what *we* can and lobby against stuff like the refugee act of 1980.

2018-05-03 01:08:46 UTC  

Like you said, we have a primary in a few days, we have to focus on what is currently at hand.

2018-05-03 01:08:57 UTC  

Trump shouldn't susceptible to pressure

2018-05-03 01:09:09 UTC  

He was the guy who had no ties to any of these special interest groups

2018-05-03 01:09:17 UTC  

Who has pressure over him?

2018-05-03 01:10:04 UTC  

Come on, you know these people play like a mafia.

2018-05-03 01:10:22 UTC  

The Koch Brothers are playing Trump like a fiddle

2018-05-03 01:10:33 UTC  

He's giving them everything they want
