This has been getting to me too from the political point of view but he lives purely for tax cuts for the rich, so here he is. It's better politically to support a bill that fails, than one that succeeds. Everyone forgets the bills that failed. (they figured that out in the 90's)
Maybe he's just dumb or trying to get VP if that ends up happening, I really don't know what the goal is other than seeing who's dumb enough to believe what he's saying.
Trump's crafty enough to do this knowing it'd fail to throw ryan or whoever (they probably were really hoping for some technical flaw that it couldn't have even come up in the senate to blame some rando gov't official to blame the swamp or dem filibuster) under bus to keep people in line too. Either way trump team had a plan but it looks like they aren't going to get to blame who they really wanted but will settle for the consolation prize, getting rid of a guy who turned on them once, hoping for a new speaker who will auto do what they want.
If the GOP doesn't understand that every single one of them who ever said a bad thing about trump is on his list, they are so, so dumb.
