You miss my point. I'm not refighting the last campaign. The point is, Trump won the nomination by promising quick, painless, easy solutions. He was talking through his hat. So now we have a reality check. Trump is retrenching -- he really has no choice -- but some of his supporters seem intent on regarding every nod to reality as a betrayal.
Trump promised things he couldn't deliver without an Act of Congress, and things for which there is zero chance of getting enough votes in Congress. This is going to lead to enormous frustration among the Trump true believers. They need adjust their expectations.
