“Ryan-Priebus ally tells me Trump is moving toward ‘an independent WH’ untethered from the Republican Party,” Harwood also posted.

Harwood said he believes this shift, if true, could be a bad sign for Republicans hoping to pass significant tax reform.

Harwood wrote on Twitter, “not an auspicious sign for tax reform.”

Trump has not hidden his frustration with congressional Republicans in recent weeks. On July 23, he said it was “sad” Republicans “do very little” to protect him.

“It’s very sad that Republicans, even some that were carried over the line on my back, do very little to protect their President,” Trump wrote on Twitter.

On Saturday, Trump said Republicans “look like fools” for not changing Senate rules that would make it easier for them to pass legislation without Democrats’ support.
