On Twitter Friday, Trump referenced the GOP’s failure to pass health care legislation. He tweeted, “Republicans, sorry, but I’ve been hearing about Repeal & Replace for 7 years, didn’t happen!”
Trump complained about the filibuster rule requiring 60 votes to pass major legislation. He tweeted that the rule will “never allow the Republicans to pass even great legislation. 8 Dems control – will rarely get 60 (vs. 51) votes. It is a Repub Death Wish!”
The comment ignores the fact that Senate Republicans trying to pass the health care bill were working under rules that required a simple majority, not 60 votes.
This week, Trump overruled Republican leaders to cut a deal with Democrats on the debt ceiling.
Yes the president is correct. This why we love him. I don’t want a republican in the WH. I want someone who is apolitcal.
I could hear all the anti trump cryes already screaming how the man only cares about himself and has no principals. Well yes he does care about himself. he cares about fixing americas problems and making America great again so that he can go down as the best president g-d ever created. And thats fine with me as long as his interest don’ lie within a party but rather with the american people.

Trump is not an ideologist. He wants to get legislation passed and that was a smart move. Good for him. Schumer is a HaRVARD law graduate.
