BREAKING : Trump Launches “Charm Offensive” to Win Over GOP Hardliners

Whereas Barack Obama was a smug, arrogant elitist, far “too good” to muck around with Congress, President Trump is much more personable and open, going so far as to build actual relationships with the people he needs to help push through his agenda.

That’s called leadership.

President Trump is even reaching out to the stodgy establishment Republicans, using old-fashioned charm and even bowling a few frames, to win them over.

Less than two months on the job, President Donald Trump is showing that when it comes to wooing members of Congress, he’s no Barack Obama.

Where Obama was usually reserved and met sparingly with lawmakers, Trump has launched a full-out charm offensive, much of it aimed at bolstering the beleaguered Republican Obamacare plan.

The president also called Senator Rand Paul to discuss the Kentucky Republican’s opposition to the Obamacare plan.

“I think we’re wooing each other,” said Paul, a former Trump presidential primary foe, adding that the president sounded open to his ideas.

The Republican vote-counters who met with Trump on Tuesday came away impressed by his openness and spontaneity.

“He’s great like that. He’s interacting with members. He’s funny,” said Cole, who had himself been greeted by Trump in a personal fashion earlier.

“I walked in, and he said, ‘You, you’re great on television. Isn’t this guy great on television? He’s got a face made for television!’”

Representative Tom Marino of Pennsylvania recalled another recent meeting of House Republicans at the White House.

“We’re all sitting around,” he said, and Trump suddenly asks, “You’ve never been in the Oval Office?”

“And we say, no. And he says, ‘C’mon, I’ll take you around,’” said Marino.

On Thursday, Republican Representative Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania and other lawmakers are headed to the White House for a bowling outing — during which Trump is expected to make an appearance, said Kelly’s spokesman Tom Qualtere.
