If it had passed wouldn't rump have taken the credit? Rhetorical question, lol
If it, or the previous bill, had passed. Trump would be fucked.
He knew that neither of them would, though. And that's the point. People don't want the bill weakened. They want it destroyed.
Getting congress to vote on multiple bills allows Trump to expose its principle proponents and profiteers while putting the blame for the failure to take action almost exclusively on the senate.
Inevitably, it will be Trump to take all the glory when he finally uses executive action to do away with it under the auspices of an obstructionist congress that bears nothing but contempt for the people.

We both know you don't believe that. If you were convinced that Trump were a principally unpopular figure, then you would have been professing his toxicity prior to the election. But aside from the occasional Iggian snide remark that neither affirms nor denies anything, you kept your mouth shut all the way up to the election.
Now that the media and friends are desperate to destroy Trump by any means necessary--and you now have extra incentive to virtue-signal from within the liberal-infested college culture--none of their claims are too "fringe" for you to embrace, and everything they say is a reflection of the people's beliefs. What you refuse to acknowledge however, is that Hillary wasn't the populist candidate. Trump was.
As I already told you in the past: We are Rome. Stop thinking that you can parade the narrative as an argument and continue to get away with it. The days when those tactics were effective died when Trump was elected.
