Just as Donald Trump appears subtly unhappy as Iran and Israel go to war, Republican senators have had an astonishing story he shared with the American people, although not the way he intended.

Holy meant it as Trump’s defense when he told CNN’s Manuraju:
I went through it with him and he said, oh, wow, that was very amazing. He said, I was surprised they had done all these changes to the extent they did. I said that too. He was really clear to Senate Republicans just two weeks ago. Do not touch anything else on Medicaid. Take the home framework and adjust it as needed, but don’t do anything else.
And this Senate framework really leaves a lot from his framework.
Holy, who opposes Medicaid cuts, was trying to use the story to reflect the idea that the Senate was making changes Trump didn’t want, but the story also paints pictures of the president who didn’t guide the ship, and it seems like he’s going to know what’s going on in his distinctive legislative work.
