Well, at least to me (emphasis mine); for his supporters, they will, well, continue to support him, no matter what:

And, another great entry from Merriam Webster's Word of the Day that describes Trump and his supporters:

Quote:Now, as we have pointed out before (and as we point out again below), only losers fail in Trump's world, and only losers accept blame. Consequently, there was so much finger pointing going on at the White House on Friday that it seemed like Sean Spicer had grown two new arms. Though Trump publicly praised Ryan, administration insiders slammed both the Speaker, as well as HHS Secretary Tom Price, with one declaring, "This is 100 percent a Ryan failure. His plan and Tom Price is his guy." Trump (and his surrogates) also blasted the Freedom Caucus, along with the President's lobbying group America First Policies, and, of course, Congressional Democrats. "I think the losers are Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer because now they own Obamacare," Trump declared. The President was even angry with son-in-law Jared Kushner, who was never enthusiastic about the Obamacare repeal in the first place, and who spent the week skiing the slopes of Aspen, CO. In short, the only person to avoid blame, besides Trump himself, is the second shooter on the grassy knoll. Of course, we're still waiting for Trump's 4:00 a.m. tweetstorm, so the grassy knoll guy's turn could still be coming.

Did You Know?
The reorganization and reestablishment of the seceded states in the Union after the American Civil War is referred to as the Reconstruction. The earliest known use of unreconstructed is by a writer for the Boston, Massachusetts, publication The Liberator, who in 1865 used it to describe Southerners who were not reconciled to the outcome of the War and the changes enacted during the Reconstruction. The word immediately caught on and has been used to refer to intransigent or dyed-in-the-wool partisans ever since. The word is also used outside of political and social contexts, as when a person is described as "an unreconstructed rocker" or "an unreconstructed romantic."
