I'm beginning to wonder if (and I realize this is a stretch) Ryan and McConnell had a chat with POTUS before this bill passed, and they discussed this very strategy.

I believe they did, see my posts #7 & #13.

if that is correct, then it would why Ryan and McConnel gave the dems everything they wanted in order to get this passed.
And PDJT’s reaction to signing it was consistent with the plan.

NO WAY, NO HOW! Those two idiots would have been blabbing it all over the place how “THEY” duped the demodummies. NO, Trump did this all on his own WITHOUT any help from those two. The “Art Of The Deal” in all it’s shining glory.

I was quick to criticize Trump for signing that bill myself and can say without hesitation, I TOO WAS DUPED. He is one smart “negotiator”.
