In brief comments to reporters Friday, Trump said the attempt to rekindle the GOP drive to repeal President Barack Obama's health care law is "coming along well." But he said there was "no particular rush" to do it next week, when Congress returns from its spring recess.
"It doesn't matter if it's next week. Next week doesn't matter," Trump said at the White House.
Oh really? Then why did he threaten Republicans in Congress to pass the repeal and replacement the first time around? He even forced them to bring the bill to a vote after they told him no.
As to not being in a hurry, that's a lie. Trump claimed in the 2016 campaign that he would repeal and replace Obamacare within the first 100 days of his presidency.
So what this "not in a hurry" thing really means is Trump knows he lost, and if he somehow gets the repeal and replace done, it will not be within the first 100 days of his presidency.
