I don't think he has to worry about votes at this point. The GOP is committed. Both bills have passed both house houses. For individual congressmen and senators to vote against the reconciliation bill now because their precious corporate rate of 20% was not achieve would be the height of hypocrisy and political suicide. Trump most certainly knows this.
Trump got them to commit - and now he is negotiating again. I assume that is the way he operates, because it certainly was the way he operated in business.
Different bills have passed both houses. They need to be reconciled, and a 22% corporate tax may be a deal breaker for some while a 20% rate may be a deal breaker for others.

Perhaps. Perhaps not.

Trump isn't negotiating here, the House and Senate are. Trump will sign what they send him. And if that contains a 22% rate or higher or lower then his name will be on it.
