Trump Says He Never Promised to Quickly Repeal Obamacare

Trump Says He Never Promised to Quickly Repeal Obamacare. Here’s a Bunch of Times He Promised Exactly That.

Republican leaders in the House pulled their plan to repeal and replace Obamacare from the floor on Friday afternoon once it became clear that it did not have the votes needed to pass.

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Donald Trump suggested that this was simply all part of his plan. “You've all heard my speeches,” he said. “I never said ‘repeal it and replace it within 64 days.’ I have a long time. But I want to have a great health care bill and plan—and we will and it will happen.”

Hmm. That doesn’t sound quite right.

have already erased those times he said it from their memories. It's like it never happened.

I wish that every time he lies bigly, they would expose the lie on the big screen in Times Square.

And he had a plan! He didn't even know what was in Ryan's draconian bill.

We have the most incompetent person we could find to be a president. Thanks Putin.
