Earlier on Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced that he would not hold a vote on the latest Obamacare repeal effort, but the president told donors that he was not giving up on rolling back the entitlement program. “We’ll be doing it after the beginning of the year,” he said. “We never give up, we never ever give up, we’re going to repeal and replace.”

But he also raised another prospect before the Republican crowd: “Maybe I’ll make a deal with the Democrats. They’re calling me like crazy. Can we make a deal? Can we make a deal?”

Trump earlier this month shocked McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan by striking a bargain with their Democratic counterparts, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, to extend the debt ceiling.

Oh, yeah.
Trump threatening to backstab the GOP a second time.
The Republicans will definitely like Trump even more after he cheats on them a second time.

I mean, that's how relationships work, right? You cheat on her and she wants you back. Right?

1. This is funny, because Dems already have their healthcare "deal".

And anyway we don't have the votes required to overcome Republican opposition to any "deal" Trump wants to make.

2. The only thing that motivates Rump is his own EGO

4. Anybody else suspect another lie (or 2)?

"But he also raised another prospect before the Republican crowd: "Maybe I'll make a deal with the Democrats. They're calling me like crazy. Can we make a deal? Can we make a deal?"

REALLY? They're calling me like crazy?

9. Just Another Lie

The Dems are voting against the repeal en masse because they have their deal. It's called the ACA.

Want to take over Medicaid from the states so idiot R governors can't refuse and hurt progress, there's your deal.

But, nobody is calling him to offer that deal. He's lying. Again.

5. As long as Democrats work smart and play him...

These things are big for us. His threats in this area are becoming a trend.

6. I'm sure they're terrified.

Trump couldn't arrange a "deal" between two toddlers fighting over a Barbie doll.

7. Calling him like crazy. Yeah, sure they are. That's another lie, I'll bet.

8. Good News!

The chances for impeachment just went up.
