But health care is just one of many bills that Trump is forcing on Congress.
He recently had a meeting with Sen. Mitch McConnell. Days later Trump got his budget passed in Congress.
He is now eyeing tax reform as he tries to get his bills enacted one by one.
A White House statement said “this resolution creates a pathway to unleash the potential of the American economy through tax reform and tax cuts.”
“Simplifying the over complicated tax code, providing financial relief for families across the country, and making American businesses globally competitive,” it continued.
The statement also said “President Trump looks forward to final enactment of the Fiscal Year 2018 budget resolution so we can bring jobs back to our country.”
Chuck Schumer said “he’s the obstructionist in chief because he can’t stick to a position.”
He made the comments about Trump unstable decision making. Trump had agreed to a health care deal and then changing his mind.
Schumer also said “this President cannot govern if, whenever the hard right frightens him and says jump, he says how high.”
Sen. John Cornyn said “the President’s expressed himself in different ways at different times, so I’m not sure exactly sure what the White House position is.”
He was making reference to the health care deal. Whatever was Trump’s intention has become clearer now. He has no intention of bailing out anyone.
Trump has blamed Congress for not passing bills in timely fashion. But he has shown that he has been part of the problem.
Many of his colleagues are up in arms over his tactics. This move on bipartisan health care just makes it more noticeable.
