We are seven months into the Trump Administration and have over three years to go. I do not know that the nation can handle three more years like the past seven months. But whether it can or cannot, we should pause for a moment to reflect on the president's agenda. Things are not looking good.

The wall? It is not built. The president is threatening a shutdown to get it funded and Democrats, along with some Republicans, are excited to blame the president, which they will do and get a 2/3 vote to override any veto.

Tax reform? Not happening now. In fact, congressional Republicans are telling the White House to keep the president as far from it as possible just to improve the chances of getting something.

Obamacare repeal? It's not going to happen.

Judges? Only five total judges have been confirmed to the entire federal judiciary since John Roberts administered the oath of office to President Trump. Not only that, Anthony Kennedy is not retiring and the word around D.C. among Kennedy's friends is that he has recoiled at the president's behavior. Kennedy, who already considers himself an uber guardian of constitutional order, now thinks he cannot leave.

The debt ceiling? The GOP isn't even going to fight it, just raise it. The national debt will keep going up.

An infrastructure spending bill? There is bipartisan agreement to spend large amounts of taxpayer dollars on all sorts of infrastructure nonsense, but they cannot get it to pass Congress and cannot get direction from the White House on shaping it.

Not since Pyrrhus of Epirus beat Rome only to be wiped out later because of the irreparable loss of soldiers in his fight have we seen such strategic bungling. The President's supporters will respond to all of this blaming Congress and congressional Republicans for not helping and Democrats for blocking his nominees.
