That is what I read, he is angry Ryan convinced him to do healthcare before sexy tax-cuts. Since he doesn't give a fuck other than taking a public loss, he will take his ball home and go full-steam on tax cuts to distract from it.

A Fox one day spied a beautiful bunch of ripe grapes hanging from a vine trained along the branches of a tree. The grapes seemed ready to burst with juice, and the Fox's mouth watered as he gazed longingly at them.

The bunch hung from a high branch, and the Fox had to jump for it. The first time he jumped he missed it by a long way. So he walked off a short distance and took a running leap at it, only to fall short once more. Again and again he tried, but in vain.

Now he sat down and looked at the grapes in disgust.

"What a fool I am," he said. "Here I am wearing myself out to get a bunch of sour grapes that are not worth gaping for."

And off he walked very, very scornfully.

There are many who pretend to despise and belittle that which is beyond their reach.

...and expand the military so that it is "so big and so strong and so great"...

Mother Jones: Here's Everything Donald Trump Has Promised to Do on His First Day as President
...

"Repeal Obamacare."
(On Trump's campaign website, he's less bullish, promising only to "ask Congress" on day one to repeal Obamacare immediately.)

*** 100-day action plan to Make America Great Again ***

Donald Trump’s Contract with the American Voter

What follows is my 100-day action plan to Make America Great Again.

...

I will work with Congress to introduce the following broader legislative measures and fight for their passage within the first 100 days of my Administration:

...

Repeal and Replace Obamacare Act

Fully repeals Obamacare and replaces it with Health Savings
Accounts, the ability to purchase health insurance across
state lines and lets states manage Medicaid funds. Reforms
will also include cutting the red tape at the FDA: there are
over 4,000 drugs awaiting approval, and we especially want
to speed the approval of life-saving medications.
