Last week was a bad one for President Donald Trump. On Monday, Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey told Congress he had “no information” to support Trump’s claims of being wiretapped by former President Barack Obama. The FBI chief also confirmed that his agency is investigating the Trump-Russian connection. Then, a bill to replace the 2010 health care law known as “Obamacare” failed. A scheduled congressional vote on the bill to replace the law was cancelled to avoid an embarrassing defeat. As a candidate, Trump promised to replace Obamacare with something “much better.” Congressional Republicans have promised to kill the law since the day it was passed by a Democratic president and Democratic Congress seven years ago. It is not unusual for a president to suffer a defeat in Congress. But some experts said his presidency is off to a bad start since very few lose on their first major bill.
