“Done, done, on to the next one.”

That would be the philosophy for the Republican party if they were actually succeeding in delivering the grand political overhauls promised by President Donald Trump.

Republicans finally conceded last Tuesday when they realized they did not have 50 votes to save the remains of their health care agenda: the Graham-Cassidy bill.  It was a last-ditch attempt to get rid of Obamacare – something they still have no idea how to successfully do.  Turns out Lindsey Graham was just as clueless as we thought he was.

In today’s reality TV dystopia, this is just the latest failed attempt for an administration that refuses to waive their agenda, or moral conscious for that matter.

Each time a major bill or executive decision rolls around, there is always some sort of nonsense meant to be a distractive precursor.  This time, it was Trump’s attack on the NFL for allowing their players to kneel during the national anthem.  Previously, it’s been sexist tweets aimed at “Morning Joe’s” Mika Brzezinski to distract attention from health care proposals the first go around.

One cannot blame Trump entirely for these diversions; he’s just the Commander-in-Chief with a keyboard.  Seriously, though, it is the press that need to assess their agenda.  Since the campaign, everything word-vomited by Trump has been given extensive coverage. 

The reason: ratings. Whether one praises or despises him, they tune in every time his name appears across their screen.  They say no press is bad press, and Trump has certainly given the press a lot to cover.  With the recent healthcare debacle, CNN felt compelled to have another debate after the hum drum success of February’s Ted Cruz vs. Bernie Sanders standoff.

While coverage is essential, the sensationalism that surrounds these events can be bigger than the actual story.  This latest health care bill was doomed from the start when they knew they were not going to earn the necessary votes.  Still, Trump is trying to prove they have the power of imaginary numbers to get this thing of the ground.

He said last Wednesday that they need to wait a “few months” before another vote.  Until then, Trump is turning his attention to tax reform.  He hopes this will be the crowning achievement he has insistently been clamoring for after numerous setbacks and defeats.

It is important to note that the last tax reform happened in 1986.  If Trump wants his plan noticed, it has to be the biggest and baddest piece of legislation ever created.

He is already touting it as a major benefit to the middle class, saying wealthy people like himself will not see any additional benefits.  The plan proposes tax cuts that Trump says will boost economic growth, but debt feels imminent if Republican officials go along willy nilly yet again. 

Addressing a new tax plan is going to be daunting for officials with all eyes of America watching their every move.

Don’t worry, Trump will find a way to turn our heads.
