“I’d be interested to read what negative thing you heard Trump say about them”
Trump made this phone call right after the call with Ryan to pull the bill...Trump called the reporter!! not the other way around.
Hello, Bob’: President Trump called my cellphone to say that the health-care bill was dead

“I mentioned to Trump that some of his allies were frustrated with Ryan....
“I don’t blame Paul,” Trump said....He then repeated the phrase: “I don’t blame Paul. He worked very hard on this.”
And again...“I don’t blame Paul at all.”
On the Freedom Caucus:
“I think they made a mistake, but that’s okay,” Trump said of the Freedom Caucus
I asked: Would working on a bipartisan health-care deal a year from now be something he would find more agreeable than whipping the hard right?
“A lot of people might say that,” Trump said, laughing. “We’ll end up with a better health-care plan. A great plan. AND YOU WOULDN’T NEED THE FREEDOM CAUCUS.”
What about the moderates, the Tuesday Group?
“They were great,” Trump said. “They were really great.”
It doesnt matter to me whether my opinion on this turns out to be right or wrong. I’m not a liberal. I don’t have any need for people to see it the way I do. But I’m sure about this even more so after reading the quote you provided.
What I see here is Trump getting step 1 accomplished.
You disagree. Ok.
