Prez Twit was right! So much winning, I can’t stand the winning.

Trump “has told four people close to him that he regrets going along with Speaker Paul D. Ryan’s plan to push a health care overhaul before unveiling a tax cut proposal more politically palatable to Republicans.”

Trump’s website says he will “ask Congress to immediately deliver a full repeal of ObamaCare” on Day One. - January 13, 2017

Apparently DT now believes he should have been working on tax cuts before Day One. Wait until he finds out that tax cuts can be an unbelievably complex subject. Who knew.

On the sunny side of life, those Harwood tweets sound like DT is ready, willing and able to toss Ryan under the bus if this bill goes down.

These guys should stick to naming post offices. That they are OK at.

Nothing is a complex subject for Hair Furor. Promise everything, deliver nothing – it’s the Trump Organization mission statement.

Can’t wait to see what they propose – I mean, I’m really holding my breath in anticipation of the wonderful “reforms” they’ll be throwing at us.

I just know I’ll be winning and winning.

Sorry, wrong thread. Deleted.

Sorry, but repealing O’Care was one of the 69 things you promised to do “on Day One.”

On to tax cuts?

Hey, dumbass, this is a tax cut for the wealthy if it passes.

And I have no doubt that THIS was a big part of the GOP establishment’s plan.

No ACA = tax cut for the wealthy
Actual tax cuts for wealthy
No infrastructure plan = more money for the wealthy

Aside from the fact that this hill that they chose to die on was 7 years in the making, Ryan did have some kind of “plan” behind it. Now, everything’s up for grabs. Tax “reform” will be nothing more than tax “cuts”. I don’t think that’s gonna go through as smoothly as they think.

That Trump can have regrets is new. The first glimmer of sanity that we have seen. Maybe he can regret getting himself into this mess and resign.

But, if you take a look at this pos, you would see there’s a big tax cut for your and Pauline’s bffs, the 1%.
Oops, how silly of me to think dumb-fuck Donnie would look into the details.

Just wait until his fleeing supporters see how much the tax cuts will benefit the wealthiest while putting the screws to them yet again even though he promised the exact opposite during the Long Con. And throwing Ryan under the bus while simultaneously demonstrating that he himself wasn’t actually leading on the healthcare issue is simply divine.

Oh, and Rasmussen has him at -12 today using their LV model - his worst showing yet.

Real Clear Politics had to change their graph legend because his disapproval number is now off their prior grid.

So much winning!
