Republicans wanted Trump to sell the economy. He's been talking war instead.

President Donald Trump and his administration were supposed to be well on their way by now to convincing the American people that the U.S. is, indeed, entering a new “golden age.”

The Iran war has thrown that plan into shambles.

A POLITICO analysis found that the president has spent less time talking about affordability in his public remarks since the war began, and significantly more time talking about the U.S. military and the conflict in the Middle East.

Back in January, Trump spoke about affordability far more than he spoke about U.S. war and military action — some weeks more than four times as much — in the vast majority of public remarks in both Washington and on the road in states like North Carolina, Georgia and Michigan, a POLITICO analysis found.

4. I Know They Have Their Talking Points....

...with market above 50,000 (oops), job creation (until they had to adjust their own numbers downward), low gas prices (oops, again)....
What did the Rs in congress think was there to sell to an audience, especially in the middle, that has already turned on Trump?
There was no good news to sell, and the messenger only appeals to the segment that was going to vote R anyway.
Yeah, they didn't get their wish, but it was a stupid wish.
