Opinion: Trump’s time—and political capital—is quickly running out

The Trump White House is mad at us (White House reporters) because we haven’t spent any time reporting on President Trump’s legislative accomplishments, to which I reply, “What legislative accomplishments?”

Like healthcare? And they think we should cover his tax plans and infrastructure plans. To which I reply: “What plans?”

Here we are, more than six months in and Trump—who conned his believers into thinking everything would be a cakewalk—has no major legislative achievement he can point to. Nothing. Trumpsters think he’s busy, busy, busy they confuse activity and bluster with actual accomplishment.

Here’s the reality: This president is a lazy old man who golfs, watches TV and tweets. That’s about all. He barely lifted a finger on healthcare. No town halls, no speeches, nothing.

On taxes, Trump unveiled what he called his “tax plan” back in April. It took up less than a page and had a couple of bullet points. It was really just the equivalent of a few tweets. No substance, no detail.

For example, on taxes, he hasn’t said what income thresholds will be for the brackets he wants (10%, 25% and 35%); he hasn’t specified what tax breaks should be kept and what shouldn’t; he hasn’t detailed what he would do tax-wise for businesses.

Various people in the administration have spoken of various things, but again—no specific, formal proposals yet. As Trump likes to say:

Sad!

The third paragraph is right on the money. He's losing everybody but the Cult45ers.
