President Trump pointed fingers Sunday to the conservative interest groups and far-right Republican lawmakers as the reasons his effort to overhaul the health-care system failed, shifting culpability to his own party after initially faulting the Democrats.

Trump’s attack started with a tweet that singled out the House Freedom Caucus as well as the influential Club for Growth and Heritage Action for American, marking a new turn in the troubled relationship between the White House and a divided GOP still adjusting to it  leader.

The tweet served as a warning shot, with battles still to come on issues such as taxes and infrastructure that threaten to further expose Republican fractures.

Democrats are smiling in D.C. that the Freedom Caucus, with the help of Club For Growth and Heritage, have saved Planned Parenthood & Ocare!

In a sign Sunday of the ripple effects on the GOP’s conservative sector, one high-profile member of the Freedom Caucus, Rep. Ted Poe (R-Tex.), resigned from the group and took a swipe at its opposition to the Trump-backed health-care bill.

“Saying no is easy; leading is hard,” he said.

Reince Priebus, Chief of Staff appeared on television to echo his boss’s sentiments, saying his missive hit “the bull’s eye.”

To make things worse, he hinted that Trump may simply start looking past the Republican majority “We can’t be chasing the perfect all the time,” Priebus said during an appearance on “Fox News Sunday.” “I mean, sometimes you have to take the good and put it in your pocket and take the win.”

Trump’s tweet came a day after a strange episode that prompted speculation that he was seeking to undermine Ryan’s standing.

Priebus, in his Sunday appearance, dismissed \the episode as a coincidence, and Trump has said in recent days that he has a good relationship with Ryan.

“He doesn’t blame Paul Ryan,” Priebus said on Fox News. “In fact, he thought Paul Ryan worked really hard. He enjoys his relationship with Paul Ryan, thinks that Paul Ryan is a great speaker of the House.”
