is that Trump is failing, not becuase he is incompetent, but that because his staff and the Republican party, have failed him. They didn't properly explain how government works, didn't explain what he was signing, etc. I've heard it from enough sources that I'm pretty sure that's the save-face line du jour.

Case in point:

Ruddy went on to detail his critique of White House chief of staff Reince Priebus: “It’s my view that Reince is the problem. I think on paper Reince looked good as the chief of staff — and Donald trusted him — but it’s pretty clear the guy is in way over his head. He’s not knowledgeable of how federal agencies work, how the communications operations work. He botched this whole immigration rollout. This should’ve been a win for Donald, not two or three weeks of negative publicity.”.......................
