Ryan sets the schedule this year — tax cuts are next on the House docket. If Trump fails to jump through his hoops, then Ryan will try to sabotage tax cuts.


It's not like DJT to leave himself vulnerable or dependent upon the persuasiveness of House Speaker Paul Ryan, so I've been thinking all along that POTUS must be holding his own Plan B in his pocket in the event that his bowling parties with GOP senators and public events like the planned one in Tennessee this week do not give him the results he seeks.

President Trump knows that Tax Cuts are a must for this year!

I don’t want to speculate too much on what Trump might be doing in a public post because some wacko reporters assumed I was GW Bush while others assumed I was Rush Limbaugh, but I’ll say this publicly — you’re a smart cookie.

And if Trump were working on amendments or his own plan — he would:

1. Try not to ruffle Ryan’s feathers — wait until the guy fully realizes he blew it.

2. Get DOJ lawyers working their tails off.

3. A listening campaign with disgruntled conservatives [with intel quietly passed on to DOJ lawyers.]

Don’t forget — Trump didn’t have his Attorney General until recently, and it was only last weekend when Sessions cleaned house. Without the DOJ, you can’t overhaul such massive legislation.
