Trump heads to Capitol to speak with GOP senators who have grown increasingly frustrated with him

[Dulcinea]

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is headed to Capitol Hill on Wednesday to meet with Republican senators who have grown increasingly frustrated with his efforts to divert their agenda.

Trump, who will attend a closed-door Senate GOP luncheon for the first time in more than a year, has pressured senators for months to focus on his proof-of-citizenship voting bill even though it doesn’t have the votes to pass. At the same time, he has blocked them from confirming one of his own nominees, asked them to fund parts of his White House ballroom project despite opposition and forced them to defend his Iran war even as they question the strategy and endgame.

Trump has also helped whittle down his own support in the Senate after endorsing primary challengers to two GOP incumbents who were previously reliable votes for his agenda — Texas Sen. John Cornyn and Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy. Both men lost their primaries and have since become more critical of the president.

1. "Frustrated." Their damn hair should be on fire and they should

be climbing over each other to get rid of him.

3. Perhaps it will come to blows.

Probably not but it's fun to imagine.

4. Yes, I'm sure they'll blow him some more . . .

It's the only action they're capable of anyway.
