I don't understand why Trump thinks withholding subsidy payments and thus imploding the exchanges would somehow be valid leverage over Democrats. The people will blame Trump and Republicans, and most likely they will be forced to restore payments/fix the situation. The end result is probably a beating in 2018.

Either way, this should be no problem for the man who makes the best deals.
