John Boehner, the former Speaker of the House who has been out of politics since 2015, doesnt think very highly of Donald Trumps presidency so far.
Energy trade publication RigZone [link:http://www.rigzone.com/news/oil_gas/a/150324/Former_House_Speaker_Boehner_Trump_Still_Learning_How_to_be_Presidentreports] that Boehner this week gave a keynote address at the KPMG Global Energy Conference in which he said that President Trump still seems to be learning how to do the job, although he admitted the results havent been good in the early going.
While Boehner cut Trump a break on the GOPs troubled health care bill He did what he could, the former speaker emphasized he conceded that everything else hes done has been a complete disaster. Additionally, Boehner threw cold water on hopes that the GOP will make significant progress on getting its legislative agenda passed in the near future. In particular, he thinks the GOP plan to reform the tax code faces some serious hurdles.
I was a little more optimistic about it early in the year, he said. Now my odds are 60/40 the border adjustment tax is deader than a door nail tax reform is just a bunch of happy talk.

Boehner: Trump a ‘Complete Disaster’ Beyond Foreign Policy
Former speaker of the House says Trump is still learning to be president

Former House Speaker John A. Boehner told attendees at an energy conference that beyond foreign policy, President Donald Trump has been a “complete disaster” so far.
As the keynote speaker at KPMG’s Global Energy conference, Boehner said he’s known the president for 15 years and Trump would call him regularly when he had a bad day or to commend him. “But president? I just never envisioned him in that role,” he the trade site Rigzone reported.
Boehner said he never subscribed to the idea of repealing and replacing the 2010 health care law but supported “repairing” it.
Boehner said international leaders are thrilled that Trump is aggressive about ISIS and and thought he was doing a good job in international affairs and foreign policy. But, “Everything else he’s done (in office) has been a complete disaster.” But he said Trump is still learning to be president.
On questions of the Russia investigations, Boehner said he didn’t know why either Hillary Clinton or Trump’s campaigns were talking with Russian officials, but “they need to get to the bottom of this.”

sitting around in boxers and house slippers laughing his ass off, grateful he dodged a colossal orange bullet.
the original orange menace, voted for him anyway.
He's yours! The GOP is a disaster and Drumpf is what that party vomited forth.
Journalists were remarkably complaisant last year. Not many reporters were looking for any dirt on Trump while he was campaigning. Let's face it, it would have been so easy to find dirt, but nobody was looking.
I believe that John Boehner is one guy who would have given a truthful interview if anybody had asked him.
Can't stand the guy, but he had no fucks to give at that point.
