Trump misspeaks, decrying '17 years' of ObamaCare

[left-of-center2012]

President Trump appeared to misspeak on the age of ObamaCare on Monday, saying in a speech at the White House that Americans have endured the Affordable Care Act "for the past 17 years.

“For the past 17 years, Obamacare has wreaked havoc on the lives of innocent, hardworking Americans,” Trump said during his statement.

MSNBC quickly fact-checked the claim with a chyron that read, “Trump: ‘For the last 17 years ObamaCare has wreaked havoc’ (Law signed in 2010)."

Social media users also quickly picked up on the mistake.
