Late Friday, the White House put out a statement saying Trump would sign the legislation; his veto would have been easily overridden. Perhaps the most broad opposition came in response to Trump’s continued public humiliation of his attorney general, Jeff Sessions. Conservatives from Congress who’d served with Sessions when he was in the Senate, delivered clear messages to Trump in Sessions’ defense in the media and throughout the country. Trump’s approval rating is in the 30s, he uses his bully pulpit to beat up on staff and he’s got no policy agenda. "They should have approved healthcare last night, but you can't have everything,” Trump said in New York.
