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.
