TRUMP FLASHBACK: You may not remember, but when Trump assumed the presidency, the Republican Party held full control over Washington, including the White House, Senate, and House of Representatives. Given this, it might seem puzzling why Trump struggled to pass his agenda. The reality is that the leaders of the House and Senate were informed by their connections within the FBI, CIA, and DHS that there was substantial evidence suggesting Trump was a Russian operative closely aligned with Putin.
We now understand that Hillary Clinton commissioned Christopher Steele to create a report filled with disinformation about Russia, which implicated Trump as a spy. However, it's worth noting that it was actually Republicans who lent credibility to this disinformation. Senator McCain sent David J. Kramer to Europe to meet with Steele and collect the dossier. After obtaining it, McCain handed it over to the FBI and began his campaign to hinder Trump's ability to collaborate with Congress. Both Speaker Ryan and Leader McConnell, who held McCain in high regard, believed his unfounded allegations that Trump was a Russian asset. Consequently, they advised their party members to keep their distance from Trump.
Trump faced opposition from Democrats, Republicans, and the Executive Branch, making it remarkable that he accomplished anything at all. It's not surprising that he was impeached twice, subjected to multiple investigations, and that there's a concerted effort to prevent him from securing the GOP presidential nomination.
