I still like him. I just think he’s wrong here.
it is not the freedom caucus that needs to be challenged, it is the democrat wing of the republican party that needs challenging.
Heading left! Lol.. what a sore loser! Attack The Constitution.. just wow, I saw it coming, since I remember his reform party run.
The Freedom Caucus made Paul Ryan speaker. They are paid for and owned by the Koch brothers who are more libertarians than conservatives.
Look into it. Freedom Works offered the freedom caucus money to oppose the Ryan bill. They are part of the swamp.
Yes Freedom Caucus 2020!
Go Go Freedom Caucus, the Rinos are sweating.
If true, Trump is getting some very bad advice, as the Freedom Caucus basically saved his bacon on the RINO/RyanCare bill.
Going to war with a group that represents a significant percentage of your base is not a good idea.
Of course, the DC insiders are undoubtedly cheering him on.
Wear tee shirts/signs at next Trump Rally.
Go Freedom Caucus 2020!
So why does he keep picking on the most conservative element of the congress?
Maybe the Republican agenda needs to get on the team with the Freedom Caucus!
Maybe the Freedom Caucus has a few very important issues that are supported by 63 million voters. The GOPe and the Democrats have too much in common.
Last Saturday Trump encouraged supporters to watch Judge Jeanine whereupon she opened her show by calling for Ryan to step done as Speaker. Either he’s conflicted or is attempting to push both sides of the GOP together. I’m not sure he even knows himself. I believe he operates a lot on instinct. I’m going to try to withhold judgment until we see how things play out.
Hey Donald, dance with the one what brung ya.
Trump really screwed up with this one. The Guys in the Freedom Caucus are in very “Safe” Districts. His threat is only going to be greeted with laughs. I am a trump supporter, but sometimes I wish he would run his proposed Tweets by some of his staff before he cranks them out. Ronald Reagan had an eleventh Commandment about not talking ill of fellow Republicans. Trump would do well to remember that.
Freedom Caucus is the only group I see that represents my interests and thinking.
If Trump attacks them, and he becomes just another politician to me. I’ll suppose I’ll still vote for him over whatever socialist the Left puts up. Maybe that’s his calculation.
I know - I am a right-wing extremist and part of the irrelevant fringe. I am told that all the time.

So he attacks the paper thin, red white and blue line of freedom, the Freedom Caucus.
I fired off an email to the White House. I won’t stand for this.
Holy Crap! This is the third time this month Trump has threatened conservatives. I had to double check the date on the source link to be sure we’re not looking at old news here. But nope. This latest tweet/threat is dated 03-30-2017.
Did I just not read less than a week ago that Trump said he was done with this repeal/replace process? And that he was moving on?
So now why is he threatening conservatives again?
What The _____?
If Trump wants to go after Dave Brat, he will become my political opponent.
He needs to rethink this.
Trump should look to the Freedom Caucus for guidance. They have been trying to drain the swamp too. He’s going after the wrong folks.
My congressman is part of the Freedom Caucus. He has my support come re-election because he has a proven track record. Trump is still in the evaluation period to me. He’s done some good stuff so far, but will lose my support if he attacks the good guys. The FC wasn’t even part of the original discussion on the Ryancare bill. Why was that?
President Trump is wrong here.
The contents of the Health Care bill matter.
Its not about “get on the team” and sell out 1/6 of our economy to Big Insurance and Big Pharm.Restore the People’s ability to chose their health care:
1. Completely repeal Obamacare, including the individual mandate.
2. Enable consumers to buy insurance across state lines.
3. Exclude all health insurance premiums from taxation, not just employer-sponsored insurance.
4. Allow individuals to use Health Savings Accounts.
5. Require price transparency from all healthcare providers.
6. Block-grant Medicaid to the states.
7. Allow U.S. consumers to buy drugs from overseas.
*******************************
This is so simple but apparently impossible for Ryan. Ryan is owned by Big Insurance and Big Pharm. The Industry wants a return to the pre Obama Care regime, after successfully convincing Americans over the last 7 to live with $6000.00 deductions, which if continued, will sky rocket industry profits.
Its Ryan’s job to give these profits to the Industry. He could care less about this perfectly fine 7 point regime that America wants, indeed what America was promised.
Ryan’s goal is to hoodwink America. President Trump will destroy his own presidency if he goes along with Ryan
Mr. President, you promised to fight for the People.
Your present joining the team position is not it.
Mr. President, in this instance it is YOU who must join the team of Americans First.
