Is Trump "Crazy Like A Fox"?

So, it's Sunday night.  The big health bill is supposedly dead, having been 'withdrawn' in the House.  President Trump says he's "moving on" to tax reform.  All the pundits are either bemoaning or cheering the supposed 'death' of the health insurance bill, H.R. 1628, the American Health Care Act of 2017.  But here's another scenario.  I heard someone, I do not know whom, express this on patriot radio yesterday evening (I think that it was on The Liberty Net (http://3950.net/live/)).  He brought up the possibility that Trump, by announcing that he is "moving on" to something else, puts huge pressure on the House to come up with a health bill that they can agree on and that the Senate will pass.  If the House doesn't pass anything Trump can claim, rightly, that the House didn't pass anything.  This could put huge pressure on the Speakership of Paul Ryan.  Thus, it is possible that Trump, figuring Ryan to have been an enemy on health care, is "giving (him) enough rope to hang himself".  It's a possibility.
