Senior White House adviser Kellyanne Conway on Sunday gave her boss some advice she attributed to hypothetical supporters who have been responsible for a dip in his approval ratings: “Focus on the agenda.”

“His approval rating among Republicans and conservative and Trump voters is down slightly. It needs to go up,” Conway said on ABC News’ “This Week.”

She said President Donald Trump’s supporters “are telling him, ‘Just enact your program. Don’t worry about a Congress that isn’t supporting legislation to get big-ticket items done.'”

Conway said those supporters would also advise Trump not to “worry about all the distractions and diversions and discouragement.”

“‘Focus on the agenda,'” she said, still speaking directly to Trump, before switching back to third person. “And he’s doing that.”

  1. Right. Enact your programs without Congress. There’s a message which will resonate with pro-Trump bots and no one else.

  2. And this sow’s campaign to reclaim the title of America’s Stupidest Woman kicks back into high gear.

    His “base”* is a scammed group of proud morons who have proven they can never be trusted with anything, and they were lying to others when it came to their “reasons” for supporting an unfit, unqualified, incompetent scumbag. But even in a mob of dummies, there are those who will detect that they might have been scammed and are uncomfortable with it.

    Especially when those people are men s l o w l y realizing that those magic beans might not be doing what was promised.

    *You know what “the base” is in Arabic? Al qaeda.

  3. The dip in approval shows buyers remorse.

    Translation of Conway’s advice: Focus on the white nationalism.

  5. She said President Donald Trump’s supporters “are telling him, ‘Just enact your program. Don’t worry about a Congress that isn’t supporting legislation to get big-ticket items done.'”

    Guess the skank never took Government 101. “The President proposes, Congress disposes.”
