White House report card: Minnesota overshadows everything
Every delay has consequences.
Welcome back to Washington Secrets. Our friendly strategist and pollster sink their teeth into President Donald Trump’s week. And the results are not very good. Stay warm this weekend everyone …
It has been a busy week for President Donald Trump. Today, he unveiled his pick for Federal Reserve chair, last night, he was in black tie for the premiere of “Melania.” There was a weeklong winter ceasefire call with Vladimir Putin, federal searches for ballots in Fulton County, Georgia, a trip to Iowa to promote economic wins, a Cabinet meeting, and Nicki Minaj. But none of those made much of a dent in the rolling news from Minnesota.

Trump is on the ropes and is once again forced to back down from another take-no-prisoners action. This time, it’s Minneapolis, where two top immigration officials were removed from the city and replaced with border czar Tom Homan.
Homan is no shrinking violet but he at least had civil conversations with the city’s mayor and the state’s governor, promising to investigate a deadly shooting and withdrawing some Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers from the city.
Kristi Noem, Secretary of Homeland Security, is looking more and more like a sacrificial lamb, another problem for Trump. Stephen Miller, deputy White House chief of staff, who by the way knows everything, finally admitted, sort of, that maybe mistakes were made.
The president is now talking tough again on Iran. Which is more frightening: unleashing another attack on Iran or backing down? Is shutting up ever under consideration?
His tariff policies have driven the U.S. trade deficit higher than a year ago and the president’s approval rating is significantly lower than a year ago. Several major polls show him in the 30s.
Looks like it’s time for folks at the White House to chill and maybe unwind by catching a new documentary at a local theater. Plenty of seats are available, I understand.

This was not a very good week for Trump and his team. It seems like another version of Groundhog Day with Congress refusing to fund ICE — which could have led to another government shutdown — calls for “de-escalation” in Minneapolis, and Trump calling for the Iranians to come to the table for another nuclear deal. (The first version was about Medicaid for illegal immigrants and this one is about Trump’s policy on deporting illegal immigrants, especially those who committed crimes here. Do you see a trend? The Dems will do anything they …
