With Donald Trump‘s refusal to sign a bipartisan housing bill that Republicans hoped might save them from doom in the upcoming midterms, even GOP members of Congress are now openly viewing the president with anger and derision. Senate Majority Leader John Thune laughed out loud when asked about Trump’s abrupt cancellation of the planned White House signing ceremony.
Other House Republicans weren’t as nice. “It’s a f**ing s**t show, isn’t it?” one member told me. “It’s always about him. That’s his only idea. He’s nuts.”
