Trump will now start hammering on the filibuster. Even though, in this case, the filibuster didn't cause the defeat (it was a straight up loss).

However, avoidance of the filibuster, is what led to the structure of the bill (whatever it was called in its final iteration).

McConnel really doesn't want to give that up though. I don't think Trump has much stroke with the Senate right now.
