"A stinging blow to President Donald Trump." He's pouting on the gold toilet as we speak.

3 Republicans and 48 Democrats let the American people down. As I said from the beginning, let ObamaCare implode, then deal. Watch!




In a stinging blow to President Donald Trump, U.S. Senate Republicans failed on Friday to dismantle Obamacare, falling short on a major campaign promise and perhaps ending a seven-year quest by their party to gut the healthcare law.

Voting in the early hours, three Republican senators, John McCain, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, crossed party lines to join Democrats in a dramatic 49-to-51 vote to reject a “skinny repeal” bill that would have killed some parts of Obamacare.

“This is clearly a disappointing moment,” Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said on an eerily quiet Senate floor right after the vote. “The American people are going to regret that we couldn’t find a better way forward.”

there would be enough money there to pay for one of his $3 million gourmet golf weekends, instead of making taxpayers fork over the money. Or the proceeds from the toilet sale could be used to "care for the sick, feed the hungry and clothe the naked, as a famous bearded person once said.

Trump is one of the culprits who have diminished our country's greatness over the decades.
