Trump Slams Freedom Caucus: "We Must Fight Them"

• http://www.zerohedge.com

It appears negotiations between the Trump/Ryan camps and the conservative Freedom Caucus over Obamacare repeal have not only gone nowhere but are back to square one, or perhaps zero, because moments ago Donald Trump, who had taken a modest sabbatical from his favorite social network, lashed out on Twitter against the conservative group that scuttled last Friday's repeal vote, saying "The Freedom Caucus will hurt the entire Republican agenda if they don't get on the team, & fast. We must fight them, & Dems, in 2018!"

After this antagonistic tweet we doubt that relations between, already on edge between the two camps, will improve.

And with Paul Ryan speaking out against Trump negotiating with the Democrats, it appears that any renewed attempt to repeal Obamacare remains on indefinite hiatus.

Ha ha! Trump: "We have to FIGHT the FREEDOM Caucus!" Did he stop to think about the "optics" of that statement?
