Does anyone feel sympathy for the large number of people who voted for the policies trump ran on thinking they would be spared?
Theres a lot of these kinds of stories going around

A growing number of GOP lawmakers are trying to intervene with the Trump administration and are weighing legislation to circumvent the changes.
