Trump swept into a party retreat in Philadelphia on Thursday with a first-time use of Air Force One and blew away lawmakers with another exultant speech centering on his presidential election victory that he said no one saw coming, while urging them to enact “great and lasting” change for the benefit of the people.
“This Congress is going to be the busiest Congress in decades — may be ever,” he declared, virtually directing the party to get cracking, even though many of his proposals go against the interest of lawmakers and their constituencies.
