He is going to nuke the market and make staffers in congress have really shitty insurance... such a dick

He does understand, that if he nukes the markets by ending the cost sharing payment to insurance companies, he will be blamed? I am guessing not.

Edit: A lot of the comments below asked what he was talking about with the Members of Congress bailout. Explained here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2017/04/17/do-members-of-congress-pay-for-100-percent-of-their-health-insurance/?utm_term=.0621e4c22bf4
