By John Wagner and John Wagner National reporter leading The Post's breaking political news team Email Bio Follow Barb Berggoetz April 26 at 5:52 PM President Trump renewed his vow Friday to repeal the Affordable Care Act, seemingly putting him at odds with a top Republican senator who insisted that Congress will not scrap President Barack Obama’s signature health-care law.
During a meeting with constituents, Sen. Charles E. Grassley said he did not think the courts would declare the 2010 law unconstitutional nor would lawmakers try to repeal it. While Trump agreed earlier this month not to push for a comprehensive heath-care bill before next year’s elections, he said he still plans to run on the issue and that his campaign would present a plan to voters.
His remarks Friday came amid a wide-ranging address in which he not only promised to keep championing the Second Amendment, but also continued to air grievances about the special counsel’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election and castigate Democrats for continuing to investigate him and his administration.
The recently released report of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III concluded that the Russian government interfered in the 2016 presidential election “in sweeping and systematic fashion.” “He’s talking to his people here,” said Jon Lucas, 49, of Monmouth, N.J., who voted for Trump and called him “a very aggressive president. He’s going to push up to the line.”
That's ok. A majority of people in this country vow to repeal Trump in 2020 if he isn't thrown out of office by then. People are fed up with this clown.
Well he must continue to DrainTheSwamp MAGAforusnotyou
well no body can beat trump like trump, praising Nazi's taking heath care, caging kids
He keeps getting away with just about everything so he’ll keep going until someone stops him.
A man on a mission to destroy our nation!!! To destroy America from within!!! Where Are these true GOP types? They allow an Ooen tearing down of America, open racist Hatred attacks on older Americans and children!!! Open discrimination on our Nations people by government!!!
TakeTheSenate BuildTheBlueWave2020
kstreet111 Yeah, you dumbf, keep pushing taking away health care!
Comment SenatorTimScott
The illegitimate president is a piece of human waste.
kmccar2_kevin Caution meaning don't open your big stupid mouth about health care and keep up your twittering incessantly about bullshit. Misdirection Mr. President. How many times do we have to tell you?
He will only hurt his base...Trump and the GOP haven’t a clue about health care Costs...
And the MAGA voters who rely on the ACA for their healthcare will be left with nothing. Uninsurable because insurance companies will be free to deny coverage to people with pre-existing conditions. No healthcare, no prescriptions. They'd rather die than not vote for Dear Leader.
I could've sworn he done repealed the ACA over a year ago...
Instead of trying to fix ACA & make health care more affordable & accessible, realDonaldTrump & GOP are hell bent on destroying Obama Care out of hate & spite & without any plan of replacement ImpeachTrump MAGA DerangedDon DespicableDon TrumpHasBrainWorms
Failed potus
You absolutely just signed your unemployment check. Yay!
This unattached illegitimate president is a criminal and full of hate for a majority of the American people, and sincerely doesn’t care about people’s healthcare. I think we should get the exact same hc for every American as we taxpayers have generously paid for. We’ll use ER’s!!
senatemajldr and SenJohnThune on the record for wanting lots of people to die seems a great election result
Repeal
Seems like people who want guns, would also want affordable healthcare? Just in case.
ChuckGrassley Really?!
ChuckGrassley will youvote to repeal an 8th time?
Hey wapo.. seen whats happened in Baltimore?
REPEAL NOT REPLACE. What happened to the Trump plan that was supposed “to cover more; cost less & be very easy” that he campaigned on? where’s that plan?- Another Trump lie.
Deranged Donald is at it again.
Good I hope he does then the GOP will lose. Bigly.
GOP repeal ACA, reinstate the Pre Existing Conditions clause, denying health that leads to the death of American citizens. All involved should be charged with murder. Hey we hung Nazis in 1947 after the Nuremberg Trials for the same crime! DNR 13 tumors on brain 36yrs old.
Ok DerangeDonald
Trump supporters, they do not have a replacement plan. If Trump succeeds you will lose coverage for preexisting conditions, your adult children, preventive care, and quite possibly any coverage you may have. Think about it!
realDonaldTrump So Donald you want to reinstate Pre Existings Clause deny health care leading to the deaths of 57,000 Americans a year. While you are hob nobbing with the Russians in 1987. I was forced to make the decision for DNR on my wife. Refused chemo, dead at age 36.
He is on a merry go round. What can he come up with that can actually improve life for all? What's up with trade, the farmers, whr is his health care replacement plan?
Caution by Republicans to Trump has been successful. We're ALL TIRED of weak Republican leaders. America is wary.
DD tiny orange is the new red🇦🇴
We are still waiting for Trunp's non existent plan!
Davidlaz And he's totally famous for caution!
Bush got a shoe tossed at him,..
Doesn't it feel like Trump is getting desperate lately & doing/saying more really off the wall things? Taking the fast train into his mental challenges. DerangedDonald
But nobody wants to put thier name on failed obummercare. Career criminals in public office are making millions
Maybe if Republicans actually had the replacement part of 'Repeal and Replace' slogan, this wouldn't be as vile as it is. But as it stands, they are just trying to take away our healthcare.
Deranged Donnie the lying orangutan
worst president in history
It's gotta go. Democrats will say 'millions will lose healthcare' they mean the 20 million who have preexisting conditions. The new plans do not exclude them thats just fear tactics. We want healthcare the other 325 million people can afford. Not free but able to afford.
TRANSLATION: the poor must suffer to appreciate what they have but dont deserve
And the crowd goes wild! 😳
Can't we just make him'Queen' Donnie,just a figure head!
That should be a vote-getter.
DerangedDonald is so obsessed with Obama, regardless of the impact on Americans.
Perfect! Thank you realDonaldTrump ! The democratic candidate will win. Do you not understand why Manchin won in WV? Hint: healthcare.
Trashy Trumpo repeal yourself & take AG & Deputy AG with you,
Whatever his plan is he and his buddys will find a way to make money off it
Trump renews vow to release tax returns.
Seriously, what is wrong with the man..?
Donnies baiting again
Give it up develop an action plan people can actually live with
🙄 Uh-huh, suuuurrrrre
This should be the top issue that Dems use in 2020 😡
ChuckGrassley I just saw a video of you telling a constituent that ACA won’t be repealed so not to worry. So what do you have to say about this?
Not sure Trump knows the word caution.
If realDonaldTrump further weakens ACA he will be responsible for Americans dying TrumpHurtsAmericans
Maniacal leader
Grassley trying on some larger, leather ones? It would be nice if Mitch would allow a vote on something, but no he wants the Russian connected money to keep flowing to him and his cronies.
docway700 a knief in the back of his base though they don't do much critical thinking it appears since only regurge the trump pr words not answer w/facts soon if GOP get their way those w/pre-existing conditions will have ZERO coverage- then they'll blame DP = LOL so sad really
Because it sucks?
Good grief! By continuing to vow repeal of ACA and NEVER giving us any ideas of its replacement, we know neither he nor any in the GOP has a single idea, much less a plan. Losers, all
Donald don't listen or read the reports about anything.
It will be interesting when his base realizes he is taking their access to healthcare. Why does Trump want to deprive people of healthcare? There will be a recurrence of disease that was eradicated. This is a Public Health issue.
Killing the American people one day at a time. He is a narcissist.
The Dotard just likes applause...
Give me a break.
And now, led by McConnell, the GOP will try to make their & Trump's dream come true - happy & wealthy insurance company donors.
The man has no clue how the healthcare system functions everything is so simple to him because he has never read over a page about any subject the reason he bankrupted over 7 business
trump is incompetent. trump is unfit. trump should be impeached
if you haven't noticed, he doesn't march to the beat of the political drum. he actually does the right things instead of focusing on whatever keeps him in power.
Trump is the worst thin to happen America in recent history. Good job Russia. well played. AmericansForImpeachment
Bullshit. More FakeNews
Left hand meet right hand, neither knows what they're doing. Sad. DerangedDonald
It’s called “distraction” and playing to his base. Don’t fall for it.
GOP doesn’t have a plan and still wants to take healthcare away from everyone
If you're so young why do you look so old? Meth kills!
realDonaldTrump please do it, the American people will reward you in 2020
Because it’s not a party until you strip millions from their healthcare right?
Great idea! That’s what cost you the House, DerangedDonald. Keep it up.
Look at Trump eyes in the picture... the lights are on, but nobody's home.
Trump is about ratings, applause and mirrors.
GOPChairwoman SenateGOP GOP You all must be going out of your freaking minds with this whack job realDonaldTrump Oh, wait - this young, vibrant man....who has lost his mind!!!
Stop falling for his well timed media distractions. Focus on impeachment. ImpeachTrump ImpeachmentNOW RepublicansForImpeachment
Affordable care is not affordable anymore.
Trump won’t do anything. No wonder his voters are angry. It’s just more Israeli-Neocon nonsense. Might as well have Jeb Bush in office. It’s only the combined outrage of many left and right wing normal people standing in front of fighting in Syria, Iran, Venezuela, etc.
Corporal Insano J Bonespurs
DerangedDonald playing to the base again.
has to go..period.
Judges will continue to educate him about the scope, and the limits, of his power.
If Trump steals America's health care again without a replacement plan, that alone should be impeachable.
