Trump, in Zigzag, Calls House Republicans Health Bill Mean

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

WASHINGTON — President Trump on Tuesday bluntly derided a House attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act as “mean,” and in doing so, injected himself in a brewing Senate battle that his fellow Republicans had prayed he would avoid.

At a White House lunch with more than a dozen Republican senators, Mr. Trump alerted his guests that a bill passed by the House this spring — one he lauded last month in the Rose Garden as a “great plan” that was “very, very incredibly well-crafted” — was now “mean.”

He also informed the lawmakers, who represented politically diverse views from across the Republican spectrum, that he expected the Senate to come up with something more generous, according to four congressional aides who were briefed on the discussion and spoke on the condition of anonymity.

“I really appreciate what you’re doing to come out with a bill that’s going to be a phenomenal bill for the people of our country: generous, kind, with heart,” Mr. Trump told his guests in the Cabinet Room. “That’s what I’m saying. And that may be adding additional money into it.”

FWIW I think he's just playing good cop to the Congressional GOP's bad cop.

1. So he admits the GOP is trying to harm, kill, make homeless thousands or millions of

Americans.

Does the rest of his base understand this now?

Do they trust HIM when HE tells them the GOP is trying to HARM them?

2. He'll still sign the "mean" health care bill.

And when it's unpopularity arises, he'll blame the House and the Senate.
