I feel like he is targeting his own supporters. Why???
Youre joking, right? The FC personally handed Trump the biggest defeat of his presidency so far and embarrassed him badly in the process. Havent you been out of the conservative bubble at all since this debacle happened? The narrative prevalent is that Trump is a wounded president, whose entire agenda in office is already in danger of collapsing unfulfilled. The left has been celebrating like its the Fourth of July and Christmas rolled into one. Theyve gloated at what they consider to be their own victory over Trump, and they are making fun of him for claiming to be a great negotiator, while they say its now very obvious hes just an incompetent blowhard.
Regardless of what you think of the FC and how happy you are over the flawed Ryancare going down, you really cant see why Trump is upset over this? Really? I feel like a lot of people on FR have become disconnected from the rest of the country over this issue. Its fine to celebrate Ryans bill going down on its merits, but all this insistence that this wasnt a big blow to Trumps presidency, that we are going to get a much more conservative health care bill somehow passed through Congress now, and that the FC are his best friends after stringing him along without compromising is just bizarre. What Trump is doing is trying to put pressure on them, so he doesn’t have another disaster with his next big legislative projects that might be fatally crippling for his presidency.

Good luck with that. The freedom caucus dupes are serially unable to connect the dots.
Excellent analysis Fenwick. What the FC did was embolden all the other GOPe factions to impede building the wall wall/infrastructure and tax relief. I don’t blame Trump for being angry. He has little support. The Republicans really are the stupid party.
