CNN’s Brinkley: ‘People Are Calling Trump’s First Year a Slow-Motion Disaster’

‘Everybody’s saying there was no legislative victories all year long and here at the last minute they’re getting this pushed through’

RUSH EXCERPT:

BRINKELY: "No. And the fact of the matter is, it’s being jammed in and done right before Christmas so there is something desperate about it. It’s happening when people are calling trump’s first year a slow-motion disaster. Everybody’s saying there was no legislative victories all year long and here at the last minute they’re getting this pushed through. And as Jeff just mentioned, the fact that, you know, Donald Trump isn’t transparent. He isn’t showing people his taxes. It seems to be a sweetheart deal for rich people. The one thing Obama was able do do in his first year was the affordable care act, and that was a big blowback because it was all Democrats that pushed it, Jake, as you know. He’s got the problem, trump now with this, that it’s just a Republican bill. There is no unit or bipartisanness about it. He owns the economy now."
