"Trump is so bad he's good" is a tired take at this point.

Polling shows that the Russian story is basically resonating with Democrats, but not doing much on the other side of the aisle (granted, Republicans stayed with Nixon up until almost-impeachment...)

Paris has broad bi-partisan support. "Let's distract from the Russia issue by something that people actually care about" is not the best strategy is it?

Think about the absolutely massive bad press AHCA has generated, combine that with the fact that Paris is only symbolism, and you have a political move with bad optics and no effect on reality. A global minimum if I've seen one (if you have enough cognitive dissonance to think AHCA isn't a massive mess).

The problem with "Trump is a political savant" is that it's indistinguishable from the "Trump has severe ADD and just does whatever comes up" narrative.

EDIT: check weather.com (at least the US site). When your political move make a meteorological site go full-monty on you, maybe you've generated a couple problems.
