President Trump upped the pressure again on Senate Republicans to change the chamber's rules to help his agenda, suggesting Friday that GOP lawmakers are letting a handful of Democrats "control the Senate."

If  Senate Republicans don't get rid of the Filibuster Rule and go to a 51%  majority, few bills will be passed. 8 Dems control the Senate!

The president repeatedly has pressed Senate GOP  leaders to change the rules so controversial legislation can pass with a  simple majority, as opposed to 60 votes. 

The president’s tweet comes amid a feud with Senate  Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. The tension began when McConnell  criticized the president for having “excessive expectations” about the  legislative process, after Congress failed to deliver the votes on a  plan to repeal and replace ObamaCare ahead of their August recess. Trump  said he was “very disappointed in Mitch,” and reportedly had a “profane  shouting match” over the phone on August 9.

Both the White House and McConnell have publicly  attempted to ease the tensions to portray unity between the GOP leader  and the president.

McConnell is likely reluctant to pursue a change in  the filibuster rules for legislation, mindful that the move could hurt  his own party whenever Democrats are in control. Further, it's unclear  whether the rule change would help Trump pass health care legislation,  as the last bill to fail was not subject to the 60-vote standard. 

Minutes after his first tweet of the day, the  president also went on to praise his new chief of staff, former  Department of Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly, who took his post  in the White House last month amid a White House staff shake-up. Trump  slammed the “Fake News” for not portraying the “spirit” in the White  House accurately.

General  John Kelly is doing a fantastic job as Chief of Staff. There is  tremendous spirit and talent in the W.H. Don't believe the Fake News

The president tweeted again, moments later, touting his administration’s accomplishments in its first seven months in office.

Few,  if any, Administrations have done more in just 7 months than the Trump  A. Bills passed, regulations killed, border, military, ISIS, SC!

The president's tweet comes days after he unveiled  his administration's new Afghanistan strategy. The White House will also  send guidelines to the Pentagon regarding the president's policy to  reinstate the ban on transgenders in the military, directing Secretary  of Defense Jim Mattis to enact the ban within six months. 

In terms of regulations, according to an analysis by  American Action Forum reviewing the president's first six months in  office, a total of 27 regulations have been withdrawn so far this year,  which is slightly lower than the 41 rules that were approved.

The president also met with Border Patrol officials  in Arizona this week and has warned Congress that he could let the  federal government shut down if they do not approve funding for one of  his key campaign promises -- the border wall. 

Nevertheless, the administration has yet to see a major legislative win.
