The Memo: Trump scrambles for wins
President Trump is scrambling for a win as he heads into the fall buffeted by hostile winds.
Trump badly needs a victory on tax reform after a third attempt by Congressional Republicans to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, also known as ObamaCare, failed.
The president suffered an additional political embarrassment on Tuesday when the candidate he endorsed, incumbent Sen. Luther Strange (R), lost a primary runoff in Alabama.
More broadly, special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation is a dark cloud on Trump’s political horizon.
And those Republicans who have long argued that he is unprepared for the job believe that their fears have been borne out, as months have passed by with little in the way of legislative accomplishments.
