"Trump didn’t exactly toss Gaetz overboard. But he instructed Gaetz to jump. And Gaetz did."

I was there (via Michael Cohen) and will tell you how it really went. Gaetz excitedly asked Trump "I got the votes, right!? I did, right!!" Trump looked out the window, not at Gaetz, didn't answer the question and started yakking about something else. Gaetz slowly walked towards the door, head down, arms raised, like Costanza leaving Steinbrenner's office.
