President Donald Trump fired an early-morning tweetstorm at the New York Times on Wednesday after the paper published a report explaining Trump’s lack of involvement in the Senate’s push to pass Obamacare repeal legislation.
The failing @nytimes writes false story after false story about me. They don't even call to verify the facts of a story. A Fake News Joke!

Some of the Fake News Media likes to say that I am not totally engaged in healthcare. Wrong, I know the subject well & want victory for U.S.

The New York Times reported Wednesday evening that Trump had not been heavily engaged in the Senate’s bill to replace Obamacare until Tuesday afternoon when he met with Republican senators at the White House. Senate Republican leaders pushed to work with Vice President Mike Pence over Trump, the Times reported.
The New York Times report also detailed an exchange Trump had with a senator at the Tuesday afternoon meeting. Trump seemed confused about the provisions of the Senate bill when a moderate senator complained about the legislation’s elimination of a tax on the wealthy, an aide who saw a readout of the meeting told the New York Times. Trump responded by saying that he plans to push for tax reform after health care, the aide told the Times.
After Trump accused the New York Times of publishing stories about him without checking the facts of the story with White House staff, New York Times reporter Glenn Thrush, one of the story’s authors, defended his reporting on Twitter.
Call your office, sir. @nytimes spoke to many, many, many members of your staff yesterday – & ran everything by your team. https://t.co/wXz9cmb3hZ

Small minded insecure child lashes out at ___________
Lather rinse repeat.
The NYT should troll him and tell him they are pleased that he reads the NY Times and offer him a free subscription
Just who does he think the U.S. is playing in this game?
The choice here is between more money for the filthy rich and access to healthcare for the not so well-to-do. Depends on which team you consider to be the U.S.
Well, Senator Lisa Murkowski looks thrilled with the whole experience!

Trump lashes out at anyone who calls something of his “small”.
