"President Donald Trump was up to his early morning Twitter hijinks on Sunday, declaring that Obamacare is dead, and saying his healthcare plan in on the way. The president got off to an early start, calling the Democrats leaderless before saying they want to hand billions to insurance companies.
The Democrats, without a leader, have become the party of obstruction. They are only interested in themselves and not in whats best for U.S., Trump tweeted.
He later added, You cant compare anything to ObamaCare because ObamaCare is dead. Dems want billions to go to Insurance Companies to bail out donors
.New healthcare plan is on its way. Will have much lower premiums & deductibles while at the same time taking care of pre-existing conditions! over two tweets.
Depite Trumps declaration that a new healthcare plan is on the way, House Majority Leader Paul Ryan (R-WI) has refused to bring a proposal to the floor because he has been unable to round up the votes needed to pass it." (more...)
WE are the party of obstruction? We only care about ourselves and not what is best for the US? This is projection at its most extreme! I cannot actually believe he has the nerve to spout this bullshit!

(82,849 posts)What happened to the great, beautiful, unbelievable plan he's been blathering about for the last 15 months? Is he lying now, or was he lying all that time up until now? Could anyone in the Fourth Estate think to inquire about that, please?

(3,022 posts)of lying then and now. Donald is that good at lying. He has the best lies, the biggest lies. He lies so much he gets tired of lying. No I'm just kidding there, he doesn't get tired of lying.

(3,335 posts)The comedian torched his ass and now he's mad as hell. His thin skinned ass will continue to plague this nation until he's out of the White House for good. Comey needs to step up his investigation so we can be rid of him for good. On the other hand, perhaps late night comedies will continue their comedic attack on his ass until he has a heart attack. He has done nothing to date which helps this nation. All he has done is tore it down by selling us out, or trying to enrich his personal bank account.

(49,002 posts)Democrats leaderless? -- Ryan can't herd his Representatives.
"Hand billions to Insurance companies" -- that's what tRumpDontCare is designed to do.
"Obamacare dead"? -- The numbers show that it has never been more popular, especially when you call it the ACA.
"Party of Obstruction" -- That would be the Republicons for the 8 years of Obama. And now they can't even get out of their own way.
"only interested in themselves and not in whats best for U.S."? -- So obviously the RepubliCONs.
"lower premiums & deductibles while at the same time taking care of pre-existing conditions!" -- That would be like his promise to bring back coal-mining jobs to Pennsylvania. And like his promise to "drain the swamp" by adding Goldman-Sachs alligators.

(5,810 posts)He was on a rant on Face the Nation for an interview (videoed yesterday, I think) with John Dickerson. He was so rude, nasty and combative, I wanted to throw something at the TV. He wouldn't let Dickerson complete a single question without jumping in, starting his answer and if asked anything else, just kept rambling and ranting. Insisted that Obamacare is DEAD and that what he is planning is better, cheaper and will make everyone happy. In a word: greatest!
He was almost manic and reminded me of the ill fated press conference he did a while back that was met with so much criticism for its tone and combativeness. He has learned NOTHING. Has not tempered his response one millimeter. I didn't think my disgust with him could increase but I found out otherwise after watching him today. If he thinks he will win friends and influence ANYONE outside of his pathetic base, he has another think coming. I know he is not mentally well and that it is those demons driving him. But damn! I am sick of him. Imagine those who actually have to work around him! Their books will write themselves....

(5,810 posts)He is such a horrible person to be our representative to the world it nearly brings tears to my eyes. When I think of how President Obama conducted himself as President it just grieves me that we have come to this..this...abomination. He insults everyone who came before him and I even include Bush (Shrub) and I pretty much despised him. Compared to tRump, Shrub was a prince!
Can we just get the show on the road with this Russia stuff? I want to see indictments, followed by convictions and long, long jail terms. Oh, and tRump reduced to poverty.

If they can't get the most basic, simple facts straight, then it's hard for me to trust them as a reliable news source
