WSJ: Trump Tests His Power and Frustrates the GOP

President Trump has delivered the same retort to political allies who have offered him strategic advice in recent weeks, according to people with knowledge of the conversations: “I’m the president and you’re not.”

The result has been a series of decisions that have confounded and frustrated Republicans—heightening fears that voters will punish the GOP in the November elections and testing Trump’s iron grip on the party.

Republican strategist and ROKK Partner Ron Bonjean shared his thoughts on the evolving relationship between President Trump and Congress as the midterms approach in The Wall Street Journal.
