mat schlapp, the chairman of the american conservative union. very close to donald trump. member of the george w. bush political team. he says it s a gift because donald trumps want to run against washington again. in order to do that, in other words, to run against washington, not only does he want to run against democrats, he wants to run against republicans a bit. if you look at his 2016 campaign, he said he was going to clean up washington. he basically gutted the republican party to do it and ran against hillary clinton. this is an opportunity to distance himself from the republican party. i think what you see on substance here is republicans bucking him in the senate on all the little agenda items from now until the end of the congress. you re seeing an assertion of power by republicans in congress. they re going to battle him on the budget, but he doesn t care about all those they will lings. what he cares about is the wall, the messaging and politics and what it says about hi
