So today, even though the one who is deep legal trouble because of James Comey's confirmation that Trump basically obstructed the Russia investigation, Trump posted a whole bunch of tweets trying to distract the public. Among them:
A.G. Lynch made law enforcement decisions for political purposes...gave Hillary Clinton a free pass and protection. Totally illegal!

Except Lynch never committed any crimes. Trump apparently did (obstruction of justice).
But there's more. The Trump went on to attack the Democrats on Obamacare:
2 million more people just dropped out of ObamaCare. It is in a death spiral. Obstructionist Democrats gave up, have no answer = resist!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 13 de junio de 2017
Except that's completely normal. As Vox.com explained, every year a few people drop from an Obamacare plan because it is impossible to have 100% coverage under a private coverage scheme. From the Vox article:
You will never have 100 percent of people make their monthly payments for something — that is true about much more than health insurance and was true before Obamacare.
Last year, about 87 percent of people who signed up for Obamacare plans ended up paying their premiums. This year’s figure is a little lower — 84 percent — but that is not much more than a statistical error.
In other words, fewer people end up not paying their health plans than last year so far.
In reality what Trump is trying to distract the public from is the fact that the Republicans in the Senate will not make public their replacement plan for Obamacare because they know it will be rejected by the public.
Not only that, but, according to Salon, the Republicans tried to barr reporters from recording in the Senate hallawys. When reporters complained about this on Twitter, Republicans immediately backtracked and denied having done what the reportes accused them of doing.
THAT bad is Trumpcare. And that's why Trump is trying to change the subject.
