The SAVE America Act barely came up at a Wednesday lunch with Senate Republicans that turned into a vent session for President Donald Trump.

The Iran war consumed much of the closed-door meeting, which took place one day after the Senate passed a measure to limit his war powers, and Trump was fuming over the four Republicans who helped Democrats with that vote. Trump blamed Sen. Dave McCormick (R-PA), whose decision to attend an event with the president in Pennsylvania was not decisive but hurt the GOP’s vote count. Most of his anger, though, was directed at Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA), one of the “no” votes.
