President Donald Trump on Thursday asked House Republicans for a little feedback as the lawmakers celebrated their passage of a bill to repeal and replace Obamacare.

“You know, coming from a different world and only being a politician for a short period of time, how am I doing?” Trump said, turning to lawmakers in the White House’s Rose Garden. “Am I doing OK? I’m President! Hey, I’m President! Can you believe it, right?”

House Republicans laughed along as Trump continued: “I don’t know. I thought you needed a little bit more time, they always told me, more time. But we didn’t.”

    No, no matter how hard I try.

  3. Well, Mr President, I think I can speak for many, many people when I say “Fuck You”.

  4. Yes, you’re President. For the moment.

  5. Trump: “It’s a great plan, the greatest since the last plan, neither one of which I have read a word.”

    Edit

    To the poor who have had health care only since O-Care and who voted for Trump (or didn’t vote) not realizing they would lose their health care to benefit the much less poor: Elections have consequences, and we are all screwed now if the guy you voted for is able to twist enough Senate arms of the Senate guys for whom you voted too.
