President of the United States Donald Trump is extremely dissatisfied with the Republican senators and does not hesitate to tell them this in person. But he does it not at official events, but in private conversations.

Particular irritation of the president is the position of party members against Russia. As it became known to the newspaper Politico, at the stage of discussing the bill on sanctions, Trump repeatedly tried to convince the senators that this is a bad idea. In particular, as the source told the source, the president spoke several times with the head of the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs Republican Bob Corker, proving to him that the document is bad and damages the reputation of the head of state. But Corker was inexorable and constantly stressed that the law would be adopted in any way.

The frustrated Trump tried to find understanding among the party members on other issues. For example, he argued with Tom Tillis, co-author of a draft law on the protection of an independent investigation of Trump's relations with the Russian Federation. But even here he could not achieve his.

In general, the US president does not hide his discontent with senators-party members. As a Republican nominee, he counted on the support of this group of legislators, but everything turned out differently. Republicans refuse to coordinate their actions with the White House and do not even meet the direct requests to withdraw the bill or change the wording.

However, to go to open confrontation with senators Trump is not solved. All the loud accusations against legislators that they harm the country's foreign policy are either a tete-a-tete or in media interviews. At official events, he is modest and reserved. Even after calling the law on measures of economic impact on the Russian Federation flawed and unconstitutional, he signed it, thereby not simply bending under the Congress, but also with his own powers limited to his powers. In general, the dog barks, the caravan goes.
