Flush with cash, political groups outside the White House are aggressively coming to President Donald Trump's aid as he battles low public approval numbers, questions about his election campaign's ties to Russia and a stalled legislative agenda.
Through television attack ads and online campaigns normally seen only during the tumult of an election, the groups are helping Trump to strike back against his perceived enemies and boost his agenda, adding to the firepower of his Twitter account and the bully pulpit of the White House.
On Tuesday, one of the groups, America First Policies, launched an attack ad against a senator from Trump's own Republican Party who had balked at a Senate plan to overhaul healthcare that would leave millions more Americans uninsured. The attack angered Senate leader Mitch McConnell, who is struggling to rustle up the votes for the plan.
It is the first time that a U.S. president has had Super PACs - political action committees that can raise unlimited amounts of money and typically operate during elections - or political non-profits, which do not have to disclose their donors or where they spend their money, actively working to support him after the dust of campaigning has cleared.
The pro-Trump groups are prohibited from coordinating with the White House, which declined to comment for this story. The New York Times reported that McConnell had complained to White House chief of staff Reince Priebus about America First Policies' ad. The group later pulled the ad.

They are infuriated that he is fighting back. He was supposed to roll over and die, like any other good Republican.
Geez, no media bias there at all...
These bimbos wish President Trump was embattled and in retreat. More whistling in the dark by Reuters. Its good that our President has allies to speed the process of reclaiming America.
Low public approval numbers? Oh. Duh! Fake news. You know, of the 175 dementocrats asked about President Trump’s job performance, 175 respondents said he lost the popular vote YUGELY. Or was it BIGLY.
Rooters is right up their with CNN, WaPo and NYT in the fake news department.
WTH????
...as he battles low public approval numbers????? questions about his election campaign’s ties to Russia????? and a stalled legislative agenda?????
What?!?!?
It ain’t the president who’s “embattled,” it’s rooters and the rest of the very fake news. Another O’Keefe smoking gun today and more to come!
Gee.... I missed the Reuters report on how political groups, flush with cash, “aggressively” came to 0bamas’ aid in ‘09.....
Just the beginning.
This will be the Summer of Trump.
Exactly! D@mn opinion pieces masquerading as news reports!
opinion pieces suggest the thoughts are the authors
more like pure propaganda where a central command center writes the pieces and distributes to all media outlets for dissemination under a fraudulent journalism front
JMHO
He added "...and they [media] don't know how to respond to Trump's pushing back and not taking their BS, instead of being hounded out of office like others in the past..."
Reuters is the single most stupid fake news outlet there is. Oh, there’s plenty of competition, but they are the standouts.
Rush is on freaking fire today.
What ELSE could it be,if it’s delivered by the SAME crowd that,(RIGHT UP TO THE END) consistently and energetically assured Hillary that she was a sure winner???
Sounds like princess Ginger was having a slow day. Someone needs to fill her in on the Russki myth.
If you look into President Trump’s (I still love saying that)(ISLST) “low numbers” you will still see that Democratics (when did they change from the Democrat Party?) are over sampled by D+12 or so...
Thats just it, the election campaign HASN'T stopped, because the Left refuses to give in. This is an unprecedented attack on a newly elected President, its only fitting that his defense is going to come from unprecedented sources.
Reuters needs to return to its core which was pigeons.
