Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price on Sunday said President Donald Trump is “absolutely” focused on the Republican bill to repeal and replace Obamacare, amid the President’s feud with the media and lack of comment on health care.
“Conversations are ongoing as we speak. And, so, we look forward to, hopefully, them coming back after this Fourth of July recess and getting the work done,” Price said on NBC News’ “Meet the Press.”
“Not only has he unloaded on cable news hosts, including folks that I work with, but he seems to not be trying be helpful on health care publicly,” Chuck Todd pressed. “Last night, he holds a rally, of sorts. Didn’t talk about health care. He spent most of his time tweeting about anything other than health care. Is the president too distracted here to campaign for health care?”
“Absolutely not,” Price replied.
Later in the interview, Todd pressed again: “Why isn’t the president as devoted to this as you are?”
“Well, I think that he is, absolutely,” Price said. “The fact of the matter is that he can do more than one thing at a time.”
Trump continued his attacks on the press Sunday by tweeting a video of himself physically attacking a figure with CNN’s logo edited over their face, but did not offer any comment on the Republican effort to repeal and replace Obamacare.
What a MUNT.
President Slacker can, like, totally do two things at one time. It’s just that right now there’s this really good show on. He’ll do health care and mow the lawn as soon as it’s over stop worrying so much sheesh.
It’s not that he’s “too distracted”. That would assume he has some actual knowledge of healthcare, but is merely side-tracked.
No. The problem clearly is he knows nothing and has no interest beyond putting up a “win” and sticking it to Obama. That’s it.
Don’t believe me? Check out his comments on space and infinity, then check out the look on Buzz Aldin’s face.
He works on things? I never would’ve guessed.
“The fact of the matter is that he can do more than one thing at a time.”
It’s true.
He’s been attacking Joe Scar, Mika, and CNN simultaneously for days now.
