President Donald Trump was due for lunch with Senate Republicans on Wednesday to celebrate signing a big new affordable housing package, and maybe spend some time reveling in primary wins by some new leftist boogeymen in New York.

He instead signed nothing, got in a screaming match with one senator and berated two others, livid over a vote limiting his power over the war in Iran and his party’s inability to get his elections bill passed.

“It would be fair to say that he was very upset about the war powers vote,” Sen. John Kennedy (R-Louisiana) said after the closed-door lunch.
