The self-touted “master of the deal” Donald Trump sent his racist right hand man Stephen Bannon to talk to the House Freedom Caucus this week about Trumpcare. The Republican Congressgeezers were unhappy with the bill because it wasn’t draconian and inhuman enough for them, so Bannon’s mission was to persuade them to vote yes anyway, and trust Trump to make it even more awful after it was signed into law.
