President Donald Trump tweeted Saturday for the first time about the Republicans’ failure to bring their health care bill up for a vote in the House, telling Americans not to worry but that Obamacare would “explode.”

The tweet echoes what Trump has said about the Affordable Care Act in the past, often remarking in the process of trying to pass the American Health Care Act that the Republicans were doing Democrats a favor and maybe should just let Obamacare “implode” and make Democrats “own it.”
