This was the very same bill that just a bit over a month ago he trumpeted as "incredibly well crafted" - now it's "MEAN"? If it was "mean" - which it IS - WHY was Trump celebrating it?
Seriously, you can't make this stuff up.
"Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump told Republican senators lunching at the White House Tuesday the House-passed health care reform bill he celebrated earlier this year was "mean," a source told CNN.
Good luck getting the GOP to agree on ANY replacement bill. Ain't likely to happen.
Trump made clear multiple times that he was pleased that the Senate negotiations appeared to be moving away from where the House version of the repeal and replace effort ended up, according to three sources familiar with the meeting...]"
President Trump supported the House bill because he wanted to move on to the Senate.
He was praising Congress because they crafted a bill that got enough votes.
LOL - talk about a "low bar" - Congress should be PRAISED for crafting and passing (barely) an absolutely terrible bill?
OK, I guess your's is an accurate statement - that the GOP-controlled Congress is THAT incompetent. Glad to see you are finally admitting that.
"A source told CNN".......are you joking? We're suppose to believe that?
Associated Press, not CNN.
Quote:
One source said Trump called the House bill “mean, mean, mean” and said, “We need to be more generous, more kind.” The other source said Trump used a vulgarity to describe the House bill and told the senators, “We need to be more generous.”
Two other congressional GOP officials confirmed that the general descriptions of Trump’s words were accurate.
And so we should applaud all those constituents -- Republicans, Democrats, Independents and Undeclared who showed up at all those Town Halls and protests because it was a mean bill.
They were right.....
