Unlike the House, the Senate has different rules. If something requires 60 votes, THAT is the rule!

Reconciliation only happens when a proposal before the Senate and then approved or not by the Senate Parliamentarian if connected to the Budget, gets a 50 plus 1 vote up or down. Trump has no idea as to how the Senate works.
