To be entirely honest, you and I both have to concede that President Trump has out-strategized his many enemies over and over, all the way to the White House, and beyond -- all the way to overturning the narratives about him. So, while I might initially have a reaction of surprise that President Trump would sign on to this rather disappointing bill, I'd have to look to the many wins this man has racked up, and assume that there is a greater plan. I'd have to assume he's not done on Obamacare yet.
Still, a simple repeal would have gone a long way to mollify his base.
