Trump keeps building up his own dolchstoss (stab-in-the-back) myth among his supporters:
Oh, brother. :RollingEyesSmiley5:
Swampy? Is that you?
President Trump cannot fail. President Trump can only be failed.
Trump and his allies tell us so. He can only be failed — by the filibuster (never mind that no GOP repeal bill got 50 Senate votes); by the “Fake News” media, which fails to honestly report on his smashing successes; and even by Republican congressional leaders, who have let the Russia probes get out of hand and secretly oppose his agenda.
Oh, brother. :RollingEyesSmiley5:
The [Washington] Examiner, meanwhile, reports that congressional Republicans are raging because a top aide to Vice President Pence told a gathering of GOP donors that the GOP Congress is selling out the president and that disloyal Republicans should perhaps be removed in 2018. He said: “If we’re going to be in the minority again, we might as well have a minority who are with us as opposed to a minority who helped us become a minority.”
...The fact that Trump and Republicans continue to believe a large chunk of the country (the GOP base) must be lied to relentlessly and at all costs is dispiriting
