Even President Trump's staunchest allies and fiercest defenders would have to admit that things are going somewhat less than perfectly for him at the moment. His first big legislative initiative just self-immolated. His travel ban has been struck down repeatedly by the courts. His White House is plagued with blundering and backstabbing.
