Johnson looked at the bill on a Friday, told his caucus it was a pile of shit over the weekend, and that was that. Trump didn't weigh in until later, around Monday.
Again, that's just false. Trump had been weighing in against the bill for weeks before then.
Do you genuinely believe that the nature of political power within the Republican party is that Johnson would have made this decision on behalf of the party, and not Trump? That Johnson killed the bill without first checking with Trump, that he didn't know Trump's position on the bill before making that call, that he would risk killing the bill without knowing in advance that Trump had already communicated directly to the Senators (and I have no doubt Johnson himself) his position on the bill?
Just crazy to think that. Trump had been working against this specific bill for weeks. He "weighed in" long before Monday. It's false to say he didn't "weigh in" until then.
