Trump: I want to focus on North Korea not 'fixing somebody's back'

Trump: I want to focus on North Korea not 'fixing somebody's back'
BY JULIA MANCHESTER - 10/07/17 11:14 PM EDT

President Trump praised health care block grants on Saturday, saying they allow the states to focus on health care, but said he would rather focus his energy on tensions with North Korea than "fixing somebody's back or their knee."

"You know in theory, I want to focus on North Korea, I want to focus on Iran, I want to focus on other things. I don't want to focus on fixing somebody's back or their knee or something. Let the states do that," the president told Mike Huckabee on the Trinity Broadcasting Network's "Huckabee."

Lyin POS!

Trump could care less if we all die with zero healthcare as long as he and his billionaire republican pals get a massive tax break.

He has more fun planning nuclear Armageddon with NK!

He’s still playing the reality show star role...everything’s about him and ratings. He wants to drop bombs and lists for war with NK because he believes that equals love and ratings. A loathesome creature for sure

Obama took care of that for him. The only thing he's focused on is undoing anything Obama has done because of the crushing jealousy he has of Obama's popularity, legacy and penis size. And no, that is not a joke... remember how defensive he was about it during the GOP debates.

9. Focusing on "NK, Iran and other things" isn't focusing.

It's an excuse to walk away from his biggest failure.
