How One Senator Handles Trump

Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO) told the St. Louis Post Dispatch that he determined very early it was futile to try to alter the way President Trump operates.

Said Blunt: “You can get a whole lot done if you minimize wasting time on things you can’t do anything about.”

He added: “I have been less concerned by that than many of my colleagues have. One, I have never thought from day one that you are going to dramatically change him as a person or the way he communicated through the entire campaign. And I believe there haven’t been very many instances where I have given him advice on this topic — publicly, or any other way. And in spite of all of the complaints he has heard from all kinds of people … about how we wish he’d quit doing that, I think that is a waste of time.”
