He is losing support both in congress and the general american public. So he comes out and puts this idea out there telling working class families I feel your pain amd I want to ease your burden.

With Trump daring them to vote against it knowing it'll enrage people if congress votes against it. So the Republicans thinking of defeating now get back in line and if the democrats vote no he's counting on midterm backlash.
