Trump just threw Ryan under his semi truck and blew the horn.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

According to MSNBC just now, Trump has told several people that he's sorry he went along with Ryan's health care bill before doing tax reform. According to the NY Times:

Mr. Trump has told four people close to him that he regrets going along with Speaker Paul D. Ryan’s plan to push a health care overhaul before unveiling a tax cut proposal more politically palatable to Republicans.

He said ruefully this week that he should have done tax reform first when it became clear that the quick-hit health care victory he had hoped for was not going to materialize on Thursday, the seventh anniversary of the act’s passage, when the legislation was scheduled for a vote.

1. Watching Lawrence now, too - Omg, Ryan has tire marks on his back!

[dixiegrrrrl]

4. And Trump looks happy about it

[dalton99a]

7. I don't want this asshole in my rearview mirror.

[truebluegreen]

9. Actually I think that's where we all want him:

Crushed underfoot and dust on the trail.

[TeamPooka]

10. yup. a footnote in history

[cstanleytech]

16. Actually I prefer to have him locked up in an institution, prison or mental hospital. nt

[truebluegreen]

18. I dunno. Dead broke and on the street

seems like karmic balance to me. Uuuuuugggest Loser Evah tattooed on his forehead.

[cstanleytech]

19. Dead broke isnt probably going to happen but given his insane claims

being found mentally incompetent is more likely besides it would piss him off to be put into a mental hospital.

2. P.S. So Trump pretty much admitted making a mistake

Sure he wants to blame Ryan. But this is the first time he's come close to an admission of failure on his own part. That's if the NY Times is getting accurate news from the source.

Juicy.

[TeamPooka]

11. He blamed "the generals" for a dead SEAL. "They lost Ryan." So this fiasco will be Paul's fault

"Ryan blew the Obamacare repeal." these words will come out of his mouth
I'd bet the farm on it.

[eleny]

13. That would be true to form

[democratisphere]

3. Two GOP assholes battling for their individual agenda supremacy.

Why don't these jerks really do what the true majority of the American people want.

[C_U_L8R]

5. Maybe Ryan should go play golf tomorrow... in spite of Trump

And let his ill-conceived bill die a cruel death like a patient on Trumpcare

[Jonny Appleseed]

6. Obamacare repeal day 1? I thought that was the campaign pledge Donny boy?

It wasn't "Obamacare repeal after I figure out what healthcare is and what Obamacare actually is and what Paul Ryan's ideological values are and what taxes are and how to reform those taxes and if those taxes need reforming and..."

But t-taxes are much s-simpler than healthcare... r-right?

[uponit7771]

8. +1

[world wide wally]

20. The two most meaningless words in the English language are "Trump said..."

[SharonAnn]

12. The Speaker of the house should be the most powerful person on bill. Not the President.

Ryan needs to act like the Speaker, not a presidential lap dog.

[Dem2]

14. It's a ploy to put pressure on republicans - don't believe it's a white flag!

To repeat from the other post, this is part of his "game"

[babylonsister]

15. Ha and ouch. Woe is them. nt

[ffr]

17. I case you're reading this tRump, you lost the popular vote. Which makes you a loser.

So fuck the fuck off. We don't like you and we're going to see to it the you pay for grifting America.

[ProudLib72]

21. You know that in their own circles

they've been talking shit about each other for weeks. I wish we could be in on those conversations. It would be fun, fun, fun.

[Caliman73]

22. He thinks tax reform would have been a better push?

He truly is a fucking idiot. Republicans would probably like the idea of cutting taxes for the wealthiest people, and would likely have gone with Trump, but like Trumpcare and his rotten budget, it would have just a plainly exposed him and the Republicans as the monsters they are. How would the pay for the tax cuts? How would they explain why the rich are getting money while everyone else's taxes go up? He's cutting social benefits to virtually ever sector of American life and doing Trumped up Trickle down?

As I said, truly a fucking idiot.
