Trump just threw Ryan under his semi truck and blew the horn. [View all]
According to MSNBC just now, Trump has told several people that he's sorry he went along with Ryan's health care bill before doing tax reform. According to the NY Times:
Mr. 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.
He said ruefully this week that he should have done tax reform first when it became clear that the quick-hit health care victory he had hoped for was not going to materialize on Thursday, the seventh anniversary of the act’s passage, when the legislation was scheduled for a vote.
