number. if you want to criticize trump as a republican, don t tell him anything personal. one of the things trump is setting, setting himself up as, as an independent actor who s not really part of the republican party. seeming to set up all of these people. the establishment are the ones to blame if this stuff fails. if if the attacks, the tax reform agenda fails. the health care thing already gone kaput. you see who he s blaming. doesn t help in 2018, and labeled failures from this president and fielding primary challenges. that doesn t help. sort of helps underscores trump s brand and sort of a party of one. the only person who can fix it and as an independent outsider with the right answers and certainly a lot of his voters believe that. they don t really like mcconnell, or yeah.
aide, a top one, in the last several minutes. they are lashing out, lashing back at this white house, at this president over these attacks saying that he is attacking our leaders, while we re selling his agenda and this aide also noted, wolf, that the white house has said in the last couple weeks of this august recess that the president was going to be selling the tax reform agenda that paul ryan has been talking about, others in the republican leadership have been talking about, and according to this aide, weren t seen anything coming from this president in terms of selling that tax reform agenda, but lots of attacks on fake news. according to this leadership aide. so there is frustration, i think growing frustration. manu raju will have a better handle on it up on capitol hill. wolf, when the hill is complaining to white house correspondents they re not happy there and we have to remind viewers this is not the democratic party complaining about the president. this is the presiden
