GOP Senator lunch w Trump: "He just went on & on, talking about his accomplishments... It was inane"
Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) later described the tone of the room as “lighthearted” and “cordial.”
“I would say he spent most of his time talking about the importance of tax reform, and we talked about the importance of his nominations as well, but it was very cordial, he was very well received,” he said.
But other senators were less amused by the meeting, which they complained lacked substance and focus.
“He said the tax cuts are ‘going to be great,’ ” without going into any detail, said one GOP senator who requested anonymity to assess the meeting candidly.
“He just went on and on, talking about his accomplishments and going off on tangents. It was inane,” the lawmaker added.
But Trump’s critics mostly stayed silent, leaving the floor to colleagues who had more positive things to say to the president.
The GOP lawmaker said some of the questions to Trump were so effusive that it sparked the thought, “You’re not in his Cabinet, you don’t need to kiss up to him.”
