Gillian Turner: Trump’s ‘Adapting to the Swamp’ To Get His Controversial Agenda Through

RUSH EXCERPT:

TURNER: "I think it’s fair to say that President Trump is different in every way imaginable, both — and they are very different from one another, President Obama and President Bush. President Trump is temperamentally different. I think his worldview is different from any president we’ve potentially seen before. And I think what he is — you know, the end of the year always offers this opportunity to sort of talk about lessons learned and I think one of the — one of the things the administration has done well is that they’ve learned to adapt some fairly outlandish policy ideas to suit the swamp and to suit the Congress and they’ve become — like there’s no better example than the travel ban, the president’s believed travel ban. If you look at the first version, it was fairly outrageous. Everything from what it said on paper to how it was rolled out. We go from there to the second and then the third version has sort of passed without much controversy. And what they’re doing their is trying to, I think — you know, they’re coming to terms with the fact that the president doesn’t have all the prerogative in the world and if he wants to get these fairly controversial things through, he’s going to have to learn to adapt."
