McConnell acknowledged that the effort to pass the first federal tax overhaul in 31 years marked a welcome change in Trump’s relationship with Republicans on Capitol Hill from his first several months in office. The leader said the president’s shift helped lay a solid foundation for success.

But he’s in the swamp, now. If your definition of the swamp is people who’ve been elected, he’s part of it.”
