Maybe he’s getting ready to walk because he knows it sucks.

He's setting Ryan up for failure.

Trump and Bannon know who's on their side.

Trump knows darn well that Ryan is the enemy.

This is Trump’s plan too. Don’t blame it all on Ryan and the GOP establishment. Trump wants it passed. And it should be passed.

IMHo, he planned to walk away from this if it didn't slide through the goose in a heartbeat the minute Ryan was slimy and wouldn't repeal ObamaCare outright. Trump and Ryan both know RyanCare as a separate piece of business was DOA and without the lie of mitigating the ill effects of repeal (LOL, Uniparty line of crap). Without people demanding repeal, he had no chance of tying his fake, stupid, pharma fattening, solution behind the need to limit the ill effects of repeal.

He knew, as did anyone with half a brain, that Ryan couldn't twist arms the way he thought he could, didn't have the personality to sweet talk anyone into anything because he's an egotistical little Sh*t, and that there were enough people opposed to anything except the same repeal that was sent to Obama, that there was very little chance they could pass anything.

Now, Trump says, "Hey, the guy was anti-Trump after he was NeverTrump, calmed down a bit, then started with the BS again as soon as I won. See, I"m willing to make a deal and even work with people who oppose me on most things. He said he know what do to and I backed him. Now about the tax cut bill the same bunch who proved they don't know what they're doing won't move on . . . "

Trump wanted Ryan's head and he's going to get it. I also think he's got someone in mind for the slot and will let that be known to the right people when they someone is suddenly looking really good and getting a lot of good press among pro-Trump people and anyone else who believes in the rule of law.

Maybe all this was to expose how weak Ryan is?
