From the story:

My emphasis added.

I’ve maintained all along that most Republicans in Congress just play along with Trump so they can get their own agenda moving, not that they like, or can even tolerate much, Trump.

Of course Trump has been ineffective in moving the Republican agenda (at least the parts that require action in Congress), because Trump is incompetent.

Trump has always been nothing more than a con-man. That he was elected illustrates how many easy marks are in America.

According to a Reuters poll rural and small town voters are starting to notice Trump isn’t doing any of the things he promised, but he sure is playing a lot of golf. Reuters says his popularity is slipping for a variety of reasons (local jobs not coming bad, not building the wall, too hard on immigrants already here, healthcare, etc. etc.) but it strikes me that it’s really all one reason. He isn’t following through on the (unrealistic) promises with which he conned people. And, they’re starting to notice. They were gullible, but they aren’t stupid.
