Do you actually know the story of how that new law passed? Cuz it wasn't Trump on his own...
Knowing there'd be a conservative backlash against prison reform, Jared Kushner (who thought up the initial idea for the legislation itself) had brought four Republican senators to the oval office one day to convince Trump to endorse the legislation. They walked Trump through the main elements of the legislation, and he seemed on board.
As the group walked out of the oval office, senator Mike Lee of Utah gave kushner a hug.
"so we got it" he said excitedly. Kushner knew better.
"No no no, that's a soft yes." Kushner said.
"What do you mean?" Lee replied.
"So right now what I have to do is bring in people who hate the policy that we're trying to do, because if we think it's a yes, he'll change his mind when Tom Cotton's on Tucker Carlson basically explaining how we're letting rapists and murderers out."
Kushner's approach worked and Trump became a firmer yes, but then he needed to persuade Mitch McConnell, who agreed to schedule a vote only if Kushner and his allies came up with 60 votes beforehand to make it filibuster proof. Then McConnell raised his demand to 80 votes.
Only through the help of liberals like Van Jones, the activist and CNN pundit, was Kushner and Mike Pence able to secure the votes needed to pass the legislation.
So when you say we have Trump to thank for that, think again.
