After Trump had whined about China not solving the N. Korea nuclear problem, Rep Ted Lieu (D-CA) hit Trump hard by pointing out that the President hasn’t signed the sanctions bill against Chinese entities that help North Korea.
Trump tweeted:
…they do NOTHING for us with North Korea, just talk. We will no longer allow this to continue. China could easily solve this problem!

Rep. Lieu replied:
Dear @realDonaldTrump: Bipartisan bill on your desk increases sanctions on Chinese entities that help N. Korea. Why haven't you signed it? https://t.co/7Oh9WzyFfY

It is a valid question to ask why Trump expects everyone to do his job for him? Trump expected the Republicans in Congress to do the health care bill without him. He expects the Chinese to resolve the N. Korea crisis. Donald Trump is the President Of The United States, but outside of watching cable news and golfing, what does he do exactly? Trump isn’t accomplishing anything. He isn’t leading the country.
Trump has no legislation that he has put forward to Congress or policies. Trump has slogans or chants, but he isn’t doing anything.
Ted Lieu was correct. Trump could be doing something. He could be leading, but instead, this president is content to tweet and whine.
