The key question is whether POTUS supports federal mandates that force insurers to cover pre-X — and he doesn't say either way in this tweet. Politically, this particular mandate has become popular, even though #Obamacare was so unpopular for so long. =>>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1055077740792160256 …
That obviously false part of the tweet wasn't of interest to me. It's clear that Dems support this policy. #Obamacare and losing control of the House and Senate prove that.

Agreed. But it also seems equally clear that Republicans want it gone. Graham-Cassidy would have removed the protections, and McConnell has stated that full repeal is still the goal, without qualification, in recent weeks. Trump is flatly misrepresenting R policy.

Maybe. I've talked to some on the trail who favor maintaining this mandate and the one for life-time caps.

Perhaps some do. It comes down to how you define "party support." Getting the support of leadership, or at least a lone Congressperson introducing a bill, are ways to establish that. Trump's assertion doesn't seem like it's based on either.
