The Note: Trump moves to break governing deadlock but can't just go it alone
The Note: Trump moves to break governing deadlock but can't just go it alone

The Trump presidency is no longer defined by paralysis.
However, this flurry of unilateral action does not mean President Trump can ride alone and expect to get results. This presidential phase may be one of disruptive action -- with Trump blowing things up to force things along.
But the White House will also have to enter a cooperative phase if it wants to accomplish some key goals.
That's especially true on the budget with all of its implications for the prospects for tax reform with action in the Senate this week.
It's also going to be true for both health care and the Iran deal – two big areas where the president is depending on Congress to make the hardest choices.
How does that square with the incendiary rhetoric of Steve Bannon, who is warning GOP establishment lawmakers of "a season of war"? Or with a president who chose to prolong a fight with Sen. Bob Corker just a week ago?
Well, it doesn't – and golf outings and the president's meeting today with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell prove that the president is still looking to work with, not against, key lawmakers.
House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said on ABC's “This Week” that the president "went rogue" last week. That, though, is only a piece of the story from here.
The next chapter will test the ability of a dealmaker to make some actual deals.
