After a long week of disorganized leadership and petty controversies from President Donald Trump, some of his Republican allies in Congress are starting to worry that he has taken his eye off the ball — including Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-GA).

According to Politico, at a lunch on Thursday, Isakson expressed his fears. “I’m so worried that the president has lost focus … It’s frightening for the country,” Isakson said. He quickly qualified his words to avoid a direct criticism of the president, adding, “It’s not that he’s doing something wrong, we’re doing the wrong thing on stuff that ought not be political.”

After the lunch, Isakson tried to strike up a more optimistic tone, saying “Everybody’s trying … I think [Trump] now understands and he’ll help us out.”
