Former GOP Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/us/tom-coburn.htm) may have left office in January 2015, but he's still just as engaged in all things political -- and that includes having an opinion on President Donald Trump (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/donald-trump.htm).
During an interview on the "Powerhouse Politics" (https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/powerhouse-politics/id1086758563?mt=2) podcast, Coburn explained to ABC News' Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl and Political Director Rick Klein (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/reporters/rick-klein.htm), why he believes the president gets a thumb's up from the same voters who find his personality abhorrent.
"They still don’t like him," Coburn said. "What they do like is what he’s done on regulation. They are going to like what he’s done on taxes, the vast majority of them, and they are going to like what he ends up getting done on immigration. And so they didn’t vote for someone who is a deal-maker. They voted for someone to do things different.”
