Washington_ When Donald Trump took over as US president on January 20, he was perhaps far from thinking that half a year later he would face the lowest level of approval in seven decades, several legislative defeats and an endless polemic, according to Prensa Latina.  

A few days before he came to power, the Republican indicated that the repeal and replacement of the health law known as Obamacare would come very quickly, and after several weeks of his administration in March, he repeated it to members of Congress.

However, one failure after another has marked Republican attempts in the Senate to endorse a legislation replacing the Affordable Care Act, and that promise, for the time being, appears to remain unfulfilled.

The option now is to seek its elimination without having a replacement, although that alternative also lacks sufficient votes so far, in what several analysts consider the result of the president's inability to understand the rules of operation of the legislative.

Several priorities of its agenda, such as the tax reform, are not yet close to entering the center of attention of representatives and senators; and others, such as the budget for 2018, have complicated obstacles ahead.

Trump blames these and other problems, among them the fact that several positions of its administration have not been able to be completed, to the position of the democrats, force that opposes to the great majority of the initiatives and proposals of the red party.

But the fact that Republicans, possessing numerical superiority in the two chambers of the Capitol, have failed even on issues in which they required a simple majority, is an evidence of internal problems of that political force that affect the executive.
