The dealmaker in chief said this today:
I’ve been saying for a long time, ‘let Obamacare fail’ and then everybody’s going to have to come together and fix it and come up with a new plan and a plan that really good for the people with much lower premiums,much lower cost and much better protection. I’ve been saying for a long time, ‘let Obamacare fail’ it will be a lot easier.
That’s what he calls leadership. He also said:
Taking no responsibility, Trump: “We’re not going to own it. I’m not going to own it. I can tell you Republicans are not going to own it.”— Jeff Zeleny (@jeffzeleny) July 18, 2017
This would be per usual. Trump has never “owned” anything in his life. Every move he makes is designed to ensure that someone else is blamed for his own failures. Which are legion.
He is a cynical, cynical creep. Recall this from January when he first proposed this “let Obamacare explode” plan and said that he’d decided against it because of the human suffering.
Apparently, he’s now decided that the people who suffer are collateral damage.
