Donald Trump And The GOP As A Terrible 'Dungeons And Dragons' Team Is Hilariously Accurate
By Mark PygasNov. 13 2018, Updated 8:19 a.m. ET
Judging by their failed attempt to repeal Obamacare, and their two failed attempts at a travel ban on several Muslim-majority countries, it doesn't look like President Trump and the GOP are going to be able to get many of their campaign promises put into action.
They face fierce resistance from Democrats, and the Republican party itself is largely fractured between moderates and members of the Tea Party. In fact, they're in such a mess that it reminded Twitter users of a terrible Dungeons and Dragons group. The resulting #GOPDnD hashtag was hilarious.

In 1980, Donald Trump opened the Grand Hyatt New York, making him the city's best-known developer.
In 2004, Trump began starring in The Apprentice, a hit NBC reality series, and later in a spin-off series, The Celebrity Apprentice.
In 2015, Trump announced his candidacy for president of the United States running as a Republican.
