President Trump regaled House Republicans with a rhetorical highlight reel from his first week in office, advocating for his immigration crackdown and border security proposals. He downplayed the importance of inflation, an issue that fueled his candidacy last year but has less control over as president. The meeting took place at Trump National Doral Miami, a luxurious resort owned by the billionaire president, with four golf courses. Despite the Republicans’ euphoria over election victories that granted them full control in Washington, they are also facing complex negotiations in the coming weeks and months. They need to reach a consensus on a spending bill before the March 14 deadline, when federal government funding expires. Moreover, they are working on a budget blueprint to lay the groundwork for broader plans, including tax cuts, fossil fuel development, and border security. With slim majorities in both the House and the Senate, they need near-unanimity to pass their proposals without Democratic support.
