That is cute, but until the law passes, it means absolutely nothing. Trump has changed his mind and done 180 degree reversals so many times that this means nothing.
"Nothing" is too strong. Public support from the Chief Executive carries weight.
Even if it's offered duplicitously, it's a signal of viability to donors, community activists, civic leaders and electeds. That support was deemed beneficial to offer is meaningful.
Statements come out of this white house that have absolutely no grounding in political reality, and positions change as soon as his support base in congress gets the president on the phone.
The phrasing may be glib, but the point is real: no one trust this white house. Not democrats, not republicans. Statements of support mean absolutely nothing, and I'm willing to be very large sums that McConnell will simply kill this silently. Paul will just stop talking about it, and we'll all forget.
The reality is you're exactly right.. His administration is essentially a policy clone of JFK or bill Clinton even... Ironically, he's pulled most of the Republicans that far left with him.
The democrats are essentially progressive socialists, they've been there since the Bush era. True conservatives (smaller more limited govt, less spending, less foreign intervention) are tragically homeless. But most of the time feel compelled to vote with big red, because the other side, as the Bernie bro said on camera, are looking to put anyone not part of their camp into reeducation and labor training. And they all are ok with it, they just get angry at Bernie for saying it out loud.
