"SNIP.....
President Trump has misrepresented his position on pre-existing conditions protections in the past, but even by previous standards his tweet on Monday stands out by falsely taking credit for the protections existing in the first place, saying he saved them, while actively trying to remove them, NBC News reports.
Jonathan Chait: Since he began running for president, Donald Trump has been lying about health care in general, and protections for patients with preexisting conditions in particular. Trumps long-standing lie is that he has a plan to help people with preexisting conditions afford insurance, or will shortly unveil such a plan. His most recent version of this lie goes even farther. Trump is now saying that he actually created the protection for preexisting conditions, and that Democrats are trying to take it away.
This is the literal polar opposite of reality.
