Washington Watcher II puts some lipstick on the Trump immigration pig

Trump is up against a 21st-century nullification movement. Trump does, of course, have options. As A.W. Morgan wrote recently, Trump could assert his authority as the executive, a co-equal branch of government, defy Congress and the kritarchs, and arrest sanctuary officials on federal obstruction of justice charges. He can’t enforce law, as is his duty, if judges and state and localities block him at every turn. ... Because of inexplicable staffing decisions, Trump’s foes now often work for him, with the inevitable result. The most recent Homeland Security chiefs—Kirstjen Nielsen and Kevin McAleenan— both privately oppose immigration patriotism. Both have proven inadequate. In other words, it’s Trump vs. the entire  Ruling Class.

No. In other words we have a president who is not serious. Just like the rest of the country.

It's no one's fault but Trump's that his administration is BURSTING with people who oppose him

Mike Pompeo (SECSTATE), Sylvia May Davis, Brooke Rollins, Chris Liddell (all in White House), Kirstjen Nielsen (SECDHS), Chad Wolf (DHS), Mary Kissel, Jim Jeffrey, Elliott Abrams (all at State), LARRY BARTLETT (Obama retread at Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration) . . ..

Bush 41 fired thousands of Reagan appointees and remade the executive in his kinder, gentler image. Trump's a wimp by comparison, as Ann Coulter says. Trump is hopelessly hamstrung, by himself.

What does President Kushner enjoy for breakfast?
