President Trump on Monday blasted ObamaCare, saying it is "dead" and "finished."

"ObamaCare is finished. It's dead. It's gone," Trump said Monday.

"You shouldn't even mention it, it's gone. There is no such thing as ObamaCare anymore. It is a — and I said this years ago — it's a concept that couldn't have worked."

It is all on you now, arsehole!

[barbtries]

1. he finally said something that wasn't a lie.

unless it goes to court and it survives as is, or better: then, it's obamacare.

for now it's trumpcare.

[The Wielding Truth]

29. I heard that the Democrats in Congress are working on ways to fund it. It is not none just because

Trump says it is. He is not all powerful. He's just part of a bunch of greedy billionaires who want to break the US so they can plunder.

[barbtries]

31. he seems to really want to ruin the country.

so sick. how did we get here. sigh

[The Wielding Truth]

45. We were brainwashed by super wealthy traitors like Murdoch and the Koch brothers who have been

working on this for over 30 yrs. It didn't just happen that the scum of the earth rose to power. We are not built to hate our fellow Americans who are minorities. We have been jerked around by our emotions and played by our fears, and constantly lied to. They have been changing laws to ease their way into stealing our democracy. They have taken the things we love and twisted their meaning so we have trouble defending their worth.

Sorry, I am ranting, but I have seen this coming and I have to respond to "how did we get here".

I want the Fairness Doctrine reestablished so lies will not pass as news.

There must be accountability for want is put out there as the truth.I have faith that our people will not succumb to this treachery when they are given the truth.

I hope that I am wrong and that it is our national enemies like Russia and not the wealthy of our own country who have set this upon us.

[barbtries]

57. you're not wrong.

it's both but the depravity of the republicans, their funders, and corporate media made putin's useful idiot the president.

we're so screwed.

if you haven't yet, watch "the brainwashing of my dad." it's a history of the manipulation of the people by right wing media going back to Ailes in Nixon's WH.

[mdbl]

58. no such thing as trumpcare

there is, however, trumpdoesn'tgiveashit coverage.

[IronLionZion]

2. Just call it Trumpcare and stop messing with it already you miserable bastard

with your cold dead heart

[rurallib]

9. Should call it Republicancare - every one of those bastards wanted this

With the midterms coming every fucking Republican needs to have this POS blasted at them daily

[dalton99a]

10. +1

[Rollo]

56. WEALTHCARE

[Ferretherder]

3. I wish the thing that was GONE was...

...Donald Jackass Trump.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. Now he owns it and whatever happens next.

When premiums go up and people start losing coverage, it's all on him. He and the GOP can't try to blame Obama any more.

[Cosmocat]

6. Oh, that shit will last the amount of time it takes for a snot bubble to pop

Whatever bad news comes from these jackasses fucking around WILL be "but, OBAMACARE ..."

[elmac]

16. him and the fascist GOP own it

and history will be pissing on their legacy.

[enough]

5. Hard to believe he's dumb enough to say that. Can't he see the obvious fact

that now when it all comes undone he can't blame it on Obamacare?

I knew he wasn't smart, but I really didn't think he was that stupid.

[Cosmocat]

11. You think that will stop him

Seriously?

And, not to bash you, but do you think most of this country will care that he said this WHEN he blames bad news on Obamacare?

[IronLionZion]

21. He'll still blame it on Obama, immigrants, poor people, etc.

When he inevitably destroys our economy he'll blame that on Obama too.

[dalton99a]

7. It's Trumpcare now

[Left-over]

30. It is trump-don't-care just like repug don't care.

[Bleacher Creature]

8. He has no idea how government or policy making works.

Nor does he have an ounce of empathy, which is needed to understand how someone will react in a time of need.

This isn't like promoting a hotel. It's life and death, and the people who are in charge of 100% of the federal government will be blamed.

The only silver lining, and I know that's a horrible thing to say, is that Obamacare is still the law of the land, such that a future President can put it back together without needing to wait for Congress.

[left-of-center2012]

12. He wants to make good on a campaign promise

Congress failed to kill it,
so now Trump claims the 'glory'.

[yallerdawg]

13. It's always been the Affordable Care Act.

The country still operates under this law passed by the legislative branch, regardless of Republican and presidential sabotage.

What goes around, comes around - this is the kind of shit that makes people lifelong Democrats, like watching the Watergate Hearings did for a lot of us a long time ago!

[Iliyah]

23. Geez, ACA aka Obamacare is still alive and operating

red meat for the ones that don't know the difference. GOPers/t-rump own the sabotage. Dems will hang tight.

[marieo1]

43. yallerdawg

Oh, yes...........I agree with you 100%.

[bronxiteforever]

14. Anything the black man did,orange nero hates

Born into racism, he embraced it. Not a complex man he is just a rich simple minded racist.

[MyOwnPeace]

35. AND.........

he DAILY claims to be proud of it!!!!

He's beyond stupid, as are the 63 million that voted for him.

[RKP5637]

15. Trumpcare! n/t

[AllyCat]

17. Just because he says so?

What a dangerous buffoon he is.

[DetlefK]

18. Well, in all fairness to Trump... "You break it, you buy it."

[bdamomma]

19. he is so fucking paranoid

and delusional. President Obama is still out there ha!

and it's not called Obamacare it is called the ACA you stupid jerk.

[Eliot Rosewater]

27. The sad thing is the dumbshit in the WH might actually be wiling to do single payer

as long as his name is on it.

I am sure the dems know this.

I suppose as long as he gets to erase Obama from history, or thinks he has, he might go along with single payer...he even said once he would.

But what he says means nothing, of course.

[0rganism]

20. he's not wrong

technically, there never was "Obamacare", only the ACA
which has now been thoroughly sabotaged
it's not gone yet, but it's going fast

from here on down, it's "Trumpcare". enjoy, America.

[Achilleaze]

22. remember: republicans spawned the TrumpCare casino

to placate Comrade Golden-Gourment-Golfer Guy -- the ignoble republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief.

[fleur-de-lisa]

24. That will make a great commercial for Dems running in 2018!

TrumpCare will be about as popular as a cod liver oil popsicle!

[muntrv]

25. It's DonTCare.

[Eliot Rosewater]

26. Mass murdering no good motherfucking pile of human shit.

And all because Obama got sick of your lies about his birth and he made fun of you at a dinner.

I am getting close to hoping the whole country goes MAD over this.

[bdamomma]

28. After watching Duty to Warn

I am hoping the whole country wakes up. We are in the midst of a madman.

[Timmygoat]

32. Just watching the Orange Idiot on TV

Whining that they are not getting anything done because the dems will not co-operate with them. Standing next to him was
McConnell who famously said when Obama got elected the rethugs would do everything they could to make him fail.
I wonder why someone does not bring this up and ask McConnell if he remembers his meeting on the night of Obama's win.

[sinkingfeeling]

33. Yep, and I can't wait to see your base begging for money to pay

for their medical needs.

[B Stieg]

34. It DID work.

In its first year, Obamacare did work, you fat charleton. I was on it for 3 months during a layoff and the price was $22 LESS than what my employer took out each month before and after I went back to work for them for the EXACT SAME coverage.

I can't live w/o my diabetes meds, and without the subsidies this fat fuck just signed away, I won't be able to afford the insurance I need to pay for them and I will slowly DIE. If my relapse-remit MS comes back, I'll get sicker even sooner.

[MyOwnPeace]

40. I hear you..........

I lost my wife to MS - I wish you the best you can possibly get under these ugly times.

[B Stieg]

44. Thanks, man...

and I am sorry for your loss.

[underpants]

36. F off. We aren't in your boardroom bubble, we can say whatever we want

Moron

[bdamomma]

39. I wish we were more physical

than vocal, they are treating the American people so disrespectful. i hate these people I really do, pitting Americans against Americans. Putin must be so happy to see the demise of the USA.

[hibbing]

37. And there you have it n/t

[Vogon_Glory]

38. Well, he said it

Although that won't stop right-wingers from lying and saying he didn't next year.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

41. At any moment when it is failing it is TrumpNoCare. Whenever it is working it is ObamaCare. . . . nt

[jmowreader]

42. More like WaterlooCare

I do not believe you can legally overturn an Act of Congress by executive order. This isn’t like Trump setting aside one of Obama’s EOs; rather, it is an attempt to repeal a properly passed statute via unilateral action.

Here is the problem we all face. The states are currently fixin’ ta sue the Trump administration over this illegal EO. This is going to wind up in the Supreme Court. If the states win, the Trump presidency is effectively over; because he won’t have anything to do (mainly because Congress will simply go into caretaker mode until February 2019) he’ll just retreat to one of his golf courses and tweetstorm the NFL, Congress, Hillary or whatever suits his fancy. If Trump wins, the United States of America is effectively over because we’ll have changed our government’s basis from Consent of the Governed to Divine Right of the King.

I realize Trump picked Gorsuch for just such an eventuality, but Gorsuch will have to vote to slap down King Don...because in the final analysis, you cannot do what Trump did and get away with it.

[rhiannon55]

46. I am a CSR for the ACA Marketplace

I still have a job and we just hired 1500 more people for the Open Enrollment period—and this was just at our site. Obamacare is not dead. The man lies every time he opens his nasty little mouth.

[BigmanPigman]

47. I wish someone would say, "There is no tRump anymore".

If those words were ever seriously spoken I am sure you would hear a collective YEAH! from the majority of the country. Champagne corks will be popping and there would be dancing in the streets (at least in my blue state).

Maybe he will have a heart attack or a stroke and end up on life support. Then perhaps a Dem on the hospital staff will accidentally unplug the machines. Oooops!

[Aviation Pro]

48. Petulant....

...small dicked, flaccid, feeble motherfucker.

[BlueIdaho]

49. Time for a full court press on the media...

It’s TrumpCare or RepubliCare from now on!

[TexasBushwhacker]

50. Great. When people start dying

it will all be on you motherfucker.

[woodsprite]

51. I'm sure I'm in good company when I say I hate this man more every day

that he sits there dismantling our country and selling it off to the highest/whitest bidder.

[brooklynite]

52. "...so anything that goes wrong now is my fault."

[Sinistrous]

53. One word:

Bastard !

[louis-t]

54. Cuz he says so....

Jeez, I hate this guy.

[CakeGrrl]

55. Hey Idiot-in-Chief: The REPUBLICANS came up with "Obamacare"

because they planned to make it fail and wanted President Obama associated with it accordingly.

Hopefully your obsession with a REAL President is eventually your undoing to your 'presidency' and your brand.
