Trump Slams Media For Making 'Healthcare Victory Look As Bad As Possible'
- 7 years ago
President Trump took to Twitter on Friday to slam the media again.
Just one day after the House passed a bill to overhaul health care, President Trump went on Twitter to blast the media for its coverage of the achievement.
Friday afternoon, he wrote, “Wow, the Fake News media did everything in its power to make the Republican Healthcare victory look as bad as possible. Far better than Ocare!”
He then tweeted, “Why is it that the Fake News rarely reports Ocare is on its last legs and that insurance companies are fleeing for their lives? It's dead!”
On the other hand, Trump made some very positive remarks about his fellow Republicans the previous day, calling those who helped pass the legislation “a great group of people.”
He added, “...they’re not even doing it for the party, they’re doing it for this country -- because we suffered with Obamacare.”
After complimenting House Speaker Paul Ryan and calling the party’s different factions including the Freedom Caucus “all great people,” the president said, “This has really brought the Republican Party together, as much as we’ve come up with a really incredible healthcare plan.”
Despite Trump’s optimistic comments, a New York Times report says, “The House measure faces profound uncertainty in the Senate, where a handful of Republican senators immediately rejected it, signaling that they would start work on a new version of the bill virtually from scratch.”
