Anti-Trump demonstrators were also out in force over the July 4th holiday,

Before he left for Europe, Trump offered an upbeat assessment of his first six months in office.

Trump returns from his overseas trip to a domestic agenda that largely remains stalled, especially on health care.

特朗普本次结束出国访问并返回美国之后,还要面对多半依然毫无进展的国内议程,尤其是医疗保健方面的问题。
Republicans are divided over a plan that could cost more than 20 million Americans health insurance coverage,
共和党人针对花掉2000万美国人健康保险费的计划意见不一,
says analyst Matthew Fiedler.
分析师马修·费德勒如是说。
Even if ideologically they might have been opposed to the Affordable Care Act in the first place,
即使起初他们在思想上可能并不同意《平价医疗法案》,
they are very concerned about rolling back that coverage going forward.
但却十分关心今后削减健康保险金额的问题。
Trump's public approval rating hovers around 40 percent in most polls,
在大多数民意调查中,特朗普的公众支持率一直徘徊在百分之40上下,
though his core supporters are sticking with him, syas analyst John Fortier.
尽管他的铁杆粉丝始终不离不弃,分析师约翰·富缇尔如是说。
I think the first six months is not a perfect gauge of when to judge a president on these matters.
我觉得要想在这些问题上评价一个总统称职与否,单单靠前六个月的政绩是不足以拿来衡量的。
It often takes a long time to get legislation done.
立法工作确实任重道远。
So at this point he is not doing so well but it is still relatively early in the legislative game.
所以虽然目前他的成绩可能有点不尽人意,但立法博弈现在也只是刚刚进行到早期而已。
Senate deliberations on health care resume this coming week.
参议院将于下周恢复关于卫生保健的审议。
