Why Trump is glorifying his takedown of Obamacare...one simple reason..

He could do alone, what Congress couldn't do..

All by himself he is trying to destroy a healthcare system that has saved countless lives. But Trump has to prove that he is "great" And he doesn't need Congress. He can do it himself.. What if it hurts tens of thousands of people? So what, "I did it, and so called leaders could do anything" That is the simple truth. It is all about him. And the ass**le is totally proud of what he has done. He is as mean and vicious as anyone. This is Trump. It also is the Republican Party.

They are terrified of their own shadows, to say nothing of how Trump intimidates them.

he is willing to throw many thousands of people under the bus. And then put it in reverse and run over them again. All so he can claim he kept his promise and “WON”. He is despicable in every way. The payback he is building is going to be massive. I just hope the media covers the results of his monstrous actions so there is no doubt who is putting the dagger into the ACA. He wants a win, so let him claim responsibility so everyone knows who gets the credit/blame.
