John Boehner on Trump: Everything else hes done [in office] has been a complete disaster


Former Speaker of the House John Boehner said Wednesday that plans for massive tax reform initiated by President Trump and House Republicans are “just a bunch of happy talk.”

Boehner gave a keynote address at KPMG’s annual Global Energy Conference, where he said his faith in the passage of a tax code overhaul is fading.

“I was a little more optimistic about it early in the year; now my odds are 60/40,” the Ohio Republican said, according to energy-sector news publication RigZone. “The border adjustment tax is deader than a doornail. Tax reform is just a bunch of happy talk.”


Boehner said he “never envisioned” Trump in the Oval Office, and while he said Trump “did what he could” with healthcare, his presidency still faces big problems.

“Everything else he’s done [in office] has been a complete disaster,” Boehner said. “He’s still learning how to be president.”
