    All lies and nonsense -- nothing but partisan politics. The political class in Washington despise Trump -- they see him as a threat to the corrupt system that keeps them in power, because he's not one of them. They will condemn anything he proposes, or has a hand in, even if they agree with it -- and the press is with them. They intend to discredit him and drive him out of government if they can, or at least prevent him doing anything that would be good for the country and help him get reelected.
