A week ago, Boehner told the KPMG Global Energy Conference that Trump did what he could to pass health care legislation.
Everything else hes done in office has been a complete disaster, he said. Hes still learning how to be President. But at another industry conference on Wednesday this time for the Council of Insurance Agents and Brokers Employee Leadership Forum Boehner distanced himself from that criticism, according to Politico.
Let me address this because some people have gotten carried away in their interpretation of what I said, he said. Listen, Donald Trump is my friend. He was my supporter. I play golf with him and frankly I like the President. I voted for him. I want him and frankly I want the country to succeed. But Ive seen some people write I think theyve gotten a little carried away in their interpretation of what I said.
I did not say that the Presidents policies were a disaster, he said. I did not say that the Presidents agenda was a disaster. What I was referring to was the execution of the Presidents agenda and the Presidents policies. And frankly I think there have been a number of missteps, unforced errors that the President has made and I think the White House would agree that theyve had their share of mistakes as the President learns to be the President.

If/When Trump goes down, the GOP will be spinning that Trump was really a Democrat. Even if Trump, in the past when in better cognitive health, was a Democrat....his presidential policies and appointments have been the GOP's dream all the way.
