.MaddowBlog: Pres. Trump pushes congressional GOP to make his problems go away.
For many years, whenever Donald Trump gets in a jam, he looks for fixers to help rescue him. As the Republican faces the prospect of presidential impeachment, Trump’s attention is now turning to Capitol Hill, where he expects his partisan allies to do what he cannot: make his crisis go away.
“Republicans have to get tougher and fight,” Mr. Trump said during a rambling, hourlong question-and-answer session with reporters at a cabinet meeting. “We have some that are great fighters, but they have to get tougher and fight, because the Democrats are trying to hurt the Republican Party for the election, which is coming up, where we’re doing very well.”
It wasn’t surprising to see Trump demand greater GOP fealty, but what the president doesn’t seem to appreciate is the extent to which he and his White House have made these demands more difficult.
