What’s Good for Trump Is Weighing Down His Party

“President Donald Trump doesn’t believe in a political law of gravity,” the Washington Post reports. 

“The more his standing sinks with the country at large — a host of polls show it near its lowest ever — the more he bends the Republican Party to his will and endangers the obeisant GOP’s prospects in the fall with unpopular and even brazen actions.”

“The result is a president historically strong at demanding political fealty within his party but prone to executive actions that alienate the broader public. That paradox has fostered a disinclination — and weakened ability — to act with Congress on issues that matter most to voters, a cycle that Trump is unwilling, or unable, to break.”
