....they had a meeting with President Trump, and he showed them how he (Trump) could take certain actions to minimize the effects of some of the less than stellar provisions in the bill.

The interview was on CNBC, and the clip was so short that I didn't even catch the name of the Congressman (I don't believe it was Massie).

But anyway, does anybody here have any insight regarding what steps Trump could take on any negative aspects of the bill? Unless this Congressman was lying, he said this is the factor that encouraged him to switch his vote to YES.

Trump has earned my trust at this point. His restraint on all the foreign entanglements has been remarkable.

I think there are some EO around the green scam that Trump has promised. It’s almost as if Steven Miller and Trump we’re ready to counter act some of the senate bullshite

This.. makes 0 sense.

Why would a Senator (who got Green Energy pork to vote for BBB), knowingly keep his vote if he knew Trump would EO the very reason why?

This is copium.

It wasn't a Senator. But the guy got on national television and said this is what caused him to flip to a YES vote.

It's not copium on my part. I'm fine with the BBB. I never expected a perfect bill because too many of these people are compromised.

Considering he got a bill with 2 or 3 extra votes in each chamber, he literally got everything he could get.

Maybe being the CIC of the most powerful nation known to man could potentially factor in. Just a guess.

Sorry I don’t know how to link a thread, but if you search for “rescission ” several have discussed and explained the process.

Trumps success and legacy may come down to the Mid Term elections.

And the Mid Term elections will come down to the economy.

We badly need to purge some bad Senators due to poor performance and outright corruption.

If Trump remakes Congress, only then can the Judiciary be adequately addressed.

It was Ralph Norman from South Carolina. Trump told them he can use executive action to ensure things like solar, EV’s and wind aren’t funded until companies actually make an actual investment (I.e. break ground). In the past they were just handed checks.

The clip below just shows the initial part of the conversation, Norman went on to provide the specific example above..

My best guess is that Trump was personally telling the no votes that the projections were retarded and the BBB is going to destroy the bullshite “experts” prognostications.
