Josh Marshall at Talking Points Memo:
For all the talk about Trump shutting down the government to get Wall money, holding Obamacare subsidies hostage or generally bending history or at least Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer to his will, Trump got close to nothing in the funding bill meant to fund the government for the rest of the fiscal year. He ended up crying unclear or no mas on virtually all his demands.
Lets go down the list.
The EPA was slated for massive cuts roughly 31%. It will retain 99% of its funding.
Trump demanded funding for his border wall. He didnt get any.
Trump wanted to cut funding for the National Institutes of Health. Its getting $2 billion of additional funding.
Funding is included for the Obamacare subsidies Trump has threatened not to pay.
Theres no provision for defunding Planned Parenthood.
Theres no language to defund sanctuary cities.

Trumps skill is not deal-making with powerful counterparts. It is duping gullible victims. -- Frum.
