Both the Liberal and Conservative media are flabbergasted by President Trump’s decision to cut a deal with Democrat leadership in the budget negotiations. Republican leaders McConnell and Ryan are reportedly furious by the move. Freedom Caucus member Rep. Dave Brat of Virginia has a theory about the President’s decision.

It’s all about striking back at the swamp.

Trump also agreed to sign a package of hurricane relief, a debt ceiling increase, and a government funding bill.

Brat said he didn’t fully fault Trump for reaching out to deal with Democrats considering Republicans repeatedly promised to repeal Obamacare and yet failed to do so when they had full control of the government. “He couldn’t get what he wanted done,” Brat explained. “The swamp is winning, right, in terms of the forgotten man. It’s not about the bubble up here, that’s the problem. The focus is always on the politics instead of on the people.”

Trump met with Congressional leaders Wednesday morning in the White House.

President Trump shocked Republican leaders with the announcement.
