A majority of Americans blame Donald Trump’s administration for any future problems with Obamacare, a new poll has found.

Carried out by the Kaiser Family Foundation, it found 61 per cent of respondents believe the US President and his Republican Party are responsible for any issues with the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

Only 37 per cent said Barack Obama's administration - who introduced it in 2010 - would be at fault for fewer enrollments.

is on the way in 2018.

Trump and his party are in a race to destroy the economy to the greatest extent by then.

Many probably can't remember who Obama is.

I'm serious. Go talk to average Americans. Astounding ignorance.

Chickens are now coming home to roost. When Trump insists that Obamacare is "dead", discerning eyes are able to observe a smoking pistol resting on a nearby table. In this instance, despite saboteurs' best efforts, the patient has sustained some superficial injury, but claims of death are greatly exaggerated!
