I support them both, but I do say that Trump had no business criticizing them for pushing back against a GOP House bill that:

(1) had the support of only 17% of the American people;

(2) didn't address any of the items in Trump's own seven-point plan for health care reform from his 2016 campaign; and

(3) didn't even reflect the points Trump made in his address to the joint session of Congress only a few days before the bill was rolled out.

I am fine with Trump giving the HFC some grief. The polls about the policy meant nothing - people had little insight into the legislation. All they knew was that the left and many on the right labeled it as the worst legislation ever developed. The problem involved the three phase approach to tackling the issue which seemed well beyond the capacity of the HFC to grasp. They wanted such measures (ex. selling insurance across state lines) right now and would not accept anything less. POTUS knows the HFC/Never Trumpers are not the folks you want in the fox hole.
