The White House choreographed a victory lap. Trump veered off script.

(Politico) President Donald Trump was supposed to go to Capitol Hill on Wednesday and spike the football. Instead, he fumbled.

The president abruptly scuttled plans to sign a bipartisan housing bill that would have been a boon to Republicans desperate for campaign trail affordability wins. Trump's announcement that he wouldn't sign it until the Senate passes voting overhauls that he's championed came after his own staff spent the morning taking a very public victory lap ahead of the housing bill's expected signing.

It's the latest example of a president seemingly indifferent to the political realities of the Senate and unable to stay on message ahead of an expectedly close midterm contest in which voters list cost-of-living as a top concern.

1. Der Dingleberry is now totally consumed with greed and avarice...

... it is what he is. The ability to hide it or control it is no longer there. I'll end my post here as I have little tolerance for redundancy.

2. Can't let the SAVE Act go, because he can't let his Election Conspiracies go.

Some of his bullshit he believes - particularly when it involves his ego.

Demanding the Senate kill the filibuster over the SAVE Act is hilarious and absurd.

3. Republicans still won't stand up to him.

7. Nope. Despite all the media's constant "They're pushing back this time! Really!" bullshit to the contrary. They insist

on legitimizing fascism.

4. Trump might have been to ill to make the meeting.

5. It will become law in 10 days without his signature

And if he tries to veto it, he will meet defeat again.
