WATCH: Trump has to be ‘charming’ to lawmakers, GOP strategist says

President Trump will hit a speed bump in his fast-paced first days in office when it comes time to pass legislation, a GOP strategist says.

“It’s the man of action versus the world’s most deliberative body — the United States Senate — where everything is going to get slowed down,” John Feehery, a columnist for The Hill, said in an interview.

{mosads}Feehery, a veteran GOP Capitol Hill aide and author of the Feehery Theory, suggested Trump work to engage lawmakers.

“Donald Trump’s going to be extraordinarily frustrated by this. … If he’s going to be successful, he has got to be charming to these guys to get them on the same page,” he said.
