In the wake of his devastating and humiliating defeat rescinding his healthcare proposal before Congress, Trump has the unmitigated gall to blame the Democrats for his failure.

The Democrats - who have been fighting AGAINST Trump's plan of "repeal and replace" since day one, are now blamed by His Dopiness for NOT voting for the plan they have always been opposed to. THE FACT IS THAT IT WAS HIS OWN REPUBLICANS THAT FAILED TO SUPPORT HIM BY NOT VOTING FOR HIS PLAN. You can't make this stuff up.

In addition, Trump also denies ever saying "repeal and replace". When shown Tweets and videos where he used those exact words, he claims he meant "something else". The man has no shame.

He made his absurd claim about the voting in a call HE MADE to the New York Times - you know, that paper he says he never reads, and that prints "fake news".

Don't forget, he repeatedly promised his followers during the campaign that he would repeal/call for a repeal of Obamacare on the first day he was in office.

One such instance:

Rally in Florida, October 2016: “Together we’re going to deliver real change that once again puts Americans first. That begins with immediately repealing and replacing the disaster known as Obamacare. My first day in office, I am going to ask Congress to put a bill on my desk getting rid of this disastrous law and replacing it with reforms that expand choice, freedom, affordability.”

Trump's latest reversal is that now he intends to let Obamacare IMPLODE on its own "in about a year".

How will this bizarre presidency end? In farce or in tragedy?

This shows just how much talk Dump is, he is full of hot air, full of bull and bluster, he skites about the art of the deal and they hoisted him on his own pitard. You have to ask, what is the point of having a President?

1. Trump's latest reversal is that now he intends to let Obamacare IMPLODE on its own "in about a year".

He's right on that part . It is in a rapid death spiral. The thing about herr Donald is that he is the most liberal of the Republicans in the game. He wants to keep a dominant government role in the health care industry so he'll 'negotiate' with the Dems to 'fix' Obamacare . That means maintaining the freebees .

Yup ,full of hot air .... but in his defense ,there was no way he was going to get his feckless divided party to agree on any plan . There is still an ideological fight in the party between conservatives ,populists ,and moderates .It is clear which side herr Donald in on . He promised to primary opponents of RyanCare . But the so called 'Freedom Caucus' is full of shyt too . If this was the bill on the floor when they knew there was an Obama veto waiting at the end of the line ,they would've voted in lock step with the Party leadership. Yeah some courage !

They don't have the absolute majority the Dems had in 2009 to do as they want .So maybe the' half a loaf 'approach is the best . They can fight their battle on this ant hill and huff and puff about how they stood for a principle in a lost cause ;and we'll be permanently stuck with Obamacare . Or they can become grown ups and accept what they can get ;promising to fight again another day.
