Significant Rift Between Congress and US Administration

Heralded just this past week is a significant rift between Congress and the Administration.  At the moment, the rift does not appear irreparable, but I believe that it really is--as long as President Trump and his henchmen are in control.

The issue is control of the legislature.  Legislative leaders of Congress have their own notion of the direction the country should take; and Trump and his administration has a stated agenda of US goals and aims that require legislative enactment.  The two are far apart: Congress wants to accede to the wishes of the people as enunciated by them during the election--a workable viable healthcare system that meets citizenry needs; and jobs, jobs, jobs!  However, claiming that a truly workable healthcare system would bankrupt the country, the Trump Administration is in favor through legislative action (1) of building up the military for future possible campaigns--a goal that's readily achievable--and (2) of amassing huge corporate and personal fortunes by governmental support of business entrepreneurship--a cause the administration already is implementing. The Administration assumes that both objectives (1) and (2) will cause job increment nationwide--no need of especial programmatic design.

Demonstrating its displeasure with Congress, the Administration is currently seeking to "punish" Republican legislators who adhere to the healthcare objective by embarrassing them over, e.g., intended steps to fortify Obamacare together with the Democrats.

Specifically, for the Administration to proceed to implement its agenda,  Obmacare, or any of its variants, that would lead to large-scale membership in some healthcare system must IMPLODE! And that is the reason the Administration has put the healthcare issue up for vote first: the savings of an "unworkable" healthcare system would mean success for its own agenda.
