9. Odd; just a couple of days ago, Trump knew that gutting health care had to come first

Trump, obviously coached to the max, acknowledged that gutting health care had to come first. That would provide the spending cuts to open the door for the massive transfer of the Treasury into the pockets of the wealthy, aka tax cuts totaling more than $880 billion over the next ten years.

By law (yeah, I know), they can't move on to tax cuts without without commensurate spending cuts. It wouldn't surprise me that that little tidbit has slipped Trump's mind.
