Trump, GOP lawmakers struggle with messaging

Rep. Leonard Lance (R-N.J.) sits on the Energy and Commerce Committee, but he wasn’t aware it was “Energy Week” at the White House. Neither was Georgia Rep. Doug Collins, a member of the GOP leadership team. 

Rep. Tom Reed (R-N.Y.), an ally of President Trump’s, also couldn’t name the theme of the week but said he knew last week was “Workforce Development Week.” It actually was “Technology Week.”

“It might as well be Easter Bunny Week,” quipped Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.).

In June, the White House launched a series of themed weeks focused on aspects of the president's jobs message: infrastructure, workforce development, tech and energy. 

But in many cases, that message didn’t seem to reach Republicans on Capitol Hill.

That has frustrated some GOP lawmakers, who say it’s a sign of the White House's inability to drive a consistent policy message and drive the president’s agenda.

the more the people hate them. Messaging doesn't work when your policies kill people, turn our country into a thrid world waste land and only benefit the rich. Dumb idiot.

He does nothing to promote technology, education, modern day jobs or anything else of value. Instead he promotes division, hatred, lies and bullshit.
