This is REALLY BAD for Americans. Trump has backed it. Trump has betrayed his supporters. The mental gymnastics people are willing to put themselves through rather than admit the obvious are impressive.
Trump is not King or Gd. He is only the head of one branch of the government. This is never going to be trumpcare. It was written by the insurance industry and it has Ryan’s fingerprints all over it.
If this bill passes Trump WILL BE a ONE TERM POTUS, LYIN RYAN will have won with his cohorts on K-street!!! One thing WE voted for was NO MORE K-street BIG dollar donors running our nation, this bill will show they have WON AGAIN!!! People will lose TOTAL faith in Trump I am quite AMAZED he doesn’t see this!!! He will see it when his tax cuts to middle America are shrunk to be given to Chamber of Commerce businesses and not so much to middle America, LYIN RYAN will scream the cuts are not deficit neutral BLA, BLA, BLA, of course AFTER GIVING the Dems EVERYTHING in the last budget INCLUDING funding of PP!!!!! THEN will be the border wall fight, once RYAN wins this healthcare law he WILL have proven to his BIG DONORS he is in control MARK MY WORDS!!! I am putting this in God’s hands today he has gotten us this far hopefully he will protect Trump from this LYING BASTARD Ryan!!
I believe Trump backed only his own agenda.
I think Trump was willing to let Ryan try to pull it together between all the factions, and that Trump knew the Freedom Caucus and Congressional Study Group, together, had his back.
The Freedom Caucus was always more lined up with Trump than Ryan ever was. Not perfectly, but easily more so than Ryan and his big business backers.
Now Trump has had several public rallies and TV interviews over the past three weeks, and has said in every single one of them the very same thing he said from the beginning— “Repeal Obamacare”, “Lower Premiums”, “Get rid of forced government mandates” and “Replace with better coverage and more choice (across state lines)”.
Ryan blocked the Freedom Caucus from the table for the past two weeks until 3 days ago.
Down to the wire Ryan finally counts votes and discovers the Caucus has dug their heels in and would not vote for higher premiums, no repeal of Obamacare and keeping the Obamacare structure.
Ryan wasn’t listening to Trump, out on the road. Nothing changed of Trump’s promised agenda to the people.
Ryan did not lower premiums. He raised them.
Ryan did not repeal Obamacare. He left the Obamacare big government structure intact.
Ryan has veterans forced into Medicaid right along with the illegals covered.
The Freedom Caucus was listening to Trump. They would have none of it that Ryan crafted and kept in his bill.
Trump showed up for Ryan, he called in the factions to the White House and then let the legislature go legislate it.
Ryan still wouldn’t deal with the Caucus. He wouldn’t give. The thing collapsed on Ryan.
Trump even promised concessions to the Freedom Caucus, on down the process, to try and bring in a few votes. But Ryan would need to do his part, right?. But, no, he still gives the Caucus nothing.
This was Ryan crafting this thing.
Trump let Ryan hang himself.
And, the Freedom Caucus had his back.
