In fairness to Levin, the article you cited was dated April 8, 2016.
Levin never wavered in his hatred of “Hillary Rotten Clinton, Her Thighness”.
I think it was in September that he said he was going to vote for Trump in his opening monologue.
People can change their minds in the course of the campaign. I was a delegate to the district and state GOP conventions here in Virginia; I supported Cruz, because I thought he was the most consistently conservative candidate in the race. However, in the course of the next three months or so Trump won me over. In the main, his presidency has been amazing.
However, you have to take legislation one bill at a time; that you support Trump doesn’t mean that you can’t speak out against a badly written piece of legislation.
Maybe the silver lining is that if they take all the tax provisions out of Obamacare, then Justice Roberts’ contention that the bill is constitutional under the 16th Amendment is not longer valid (if it ever was); then the law as amended is a clear violation of the commerce clause and must be struck down in toto.
One of the ironies about the current Congress is that Ted Cruz has been one of Trump’s most reliable allies on the Hill, and I think Trump knows it.
Well said.

Trump did have Cruz and family to WH for dinner on Wednesday, though I still don't trust Cruz, no slight intended.
As for Levin, he has gotten more than a fair shake from Trump supporters, I believe. It wasn't that he was conflicted because of his conservative principles, he didn't understand the fierce urgency of the moment and, more importantly, he was spewing personal vitriol and hate towards Trump that had nothing to do with his positions or intended policies, well into early October if I remember correctly.
What is it they say? Some things can't be unseen, well, somethings can't be unheard. Levin's foaming verbal hatred towards Trump endlessly is something I will never forget.
