Just how long is Trump's "probationary period" going to last?

President Donald Trump on Wednesday directly lashed out at Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) for the Senate’s failure to successfully repeal the Affordable Care Act.

“Senator Mitch McConnell said I had ‘excessive expectations,’ but I don’t think so,” the president tweeted. “After 7 years of hearing Repeal & Replace, why not done?”

Trump’s comments came in response to an interview McConnell gave earlier this week where he said that the president had “excessive expectations” for what could be quickly accomplished in the Senate.

“Our new president, of course, has not been in this line of work before,” McConnell said, according to CNN affiliate WCPO. “I think he had excessive expectations about how quickly things happen in the democratic process.”

I've had no job in my life of work where after this same period of time I wasn't seen as personally responsible for my actions.

and Presidents are normally expected to be ready to handle their assigned duties on Day 0. It's hard to believe how some people are STILL making excuses for him.

That is what happens when you elect ignorant unqualified lazy people with mental decline issues to public office. The GOP, and those that voted for him, own this disaster.
