Trump’s MO has always been to play a long game. Throughout the primaries and election cycle his candidacy was declared dead and buried scores of times. This was because the instant gratification presstitutes would seize on something he said and declare him finally, once and for all finished.
Why did none of those epitaphs ever prove justified? Because Trump looks beyond the immediate to the longer term goals. That’s just the way he operates.
There is NO proof of this... it sounds reassuring, but it's not.
This is a different ballgame ... he needs to step up to the plate, veto the bill and rally his troops by explaining why he's doing it.
He needs to stop trusting Ryan and Pence---and trust us.
