“President Trump and his senior aides had planned to shift focus on Thursday to the kind of domestic policy plans that could excite voters ahead of the midterm elections,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“Then a federal judge in Washington, D.C., ordered a halt to the construction of Trump’s ballroom.”
“The ruling infuriated the president, setting off a string of social-media posts that overshadowed the administration’s efforts to refocus on his marquee accomplishments, such as the ‘no tax on tips’ deduction, which is popular with many voters.”
