Between the lines: Trump privately thinks ACA lawsuit will fail in court

[Kablooie]

After a week of talking to sources who've discussed the matter privately with Trump, it's clear that this health care push is coming from the president himself. These people say Trump thinks it's a great idea to try to brand the GOP as "the party of health care” by backing the controversial litigation and pushing for legislative change.

Behind the scenes: Trump has privately said he thinks the lawsuit to strike down the Affordable Care Act will probably fail in the courts, according to two sources who discussed the matter with the president last week.

Trump's view is that Democrats are going to bash him up on health care in 2020 regardless, so ignoring the issue won’t work.

He says he wants to "brand" himself and the Republican Party as caring about health care and pre-existing conditions. He plans to repeat this message again and again and again.

1. And why does he plan to do this?

The answer is the same with regard to everything he does: Because he's a fuckn' moron.

4. It's Trump's main technique for convincing his base.

Everything they believe is because he repeats the lies over and over again.

3. Trump thought he was not going to win the presidency, either. He is a dangerous demagogue...

...in love with the sound of his own voice, and able to persuade just enough people to get whatever he wants done.

5. Huh? I don't get it.

Isn't he having Rick Scott (of all people)whip up a tRumpcare plan as I write this? What is his agenda on this one? It's been a terrible weekend and my brain must have stopped functioning by now. Someone please explain this to me.
