President Trump On Democrats Resisting The Healthcare Bill
PRESIDENT TRUMP: The level of hostility. As an example, the healthcare bill as you are reporting on and as others are reporting on. It would be so great if the Democrats and Republicans could get together, wrap their arms around it so that everybody is happy with it. It is so easy, but we won't get one Democrat vote, not one. If it was the greatest bill ever proposed in mankind we wouldn't get a vote and that is a terrible thing. Well, their theme is resist. I've never heard of anything like this, resist.
President Trump On The VA Accountability Bill That Was Signed Into Law
PRESIDENT TRUMP: Well, it's really an accountability bill. You had people that would be in the VA and they wouldn't work or they would do much worse than that. And you couldn’t fire them, you couldn’t get rid of them. They were hanging around, they were receiving money, they weren't taking care of our veterans. And I made the promise that I would take care of our veterans if I win. And you know they voted for me overwhelmingly. I just had it in my own heart, I had a very strong obligation to take care of them. We had it pass. Tom Cotton and so many other people were so involved – Mr. Roe who you know very well. They worked so hard and so long on that and that was tough one to get through. And now they do have accountability.
