Nothing tangible to suggest Trump will turn into Darnold Trumpnegger, but there are worrying parallels, especially the liberal family members, and starting with a big policy defeat.
What is more worrying is that there was no policy defeat, but President Trump acted like there was.
Candidate Donald Trump came out with a very clear seven-point plan for health care reform during the 2016 campaign. For some reason he put his political weight behind a fifth-rate AHCA bill in 2017 that had almost nothing in common with his 2016 campaign proposal. And when intelligent members of Congress who recognized a House bill with the support of 17% of the American people as one of the worst losers they'd ever seen didn't support it, President Trump decided (for some baffling reason) to call them out over it in one of his signature Twitter tantrums.
Meanwhile, the seven-point health care reform plan from 2016 has been removed from Trump's website.
