\nI normally wouldn’t continence quoting the Rich Asshole in this blog but these words are so false, hollow, and cringe-worthy that I can’t resist. If I can make myself keep it around, I’ll be surprised, but I have to save it for a while as a reminder of how far down the office of the President has gone. My god, the hubris …<\/p>\n

\nThe White House
\nOffice of the Press Secretary
\nFor Immediate Release
\nMay 04, 2017
\nRemarks by President Jack ‘o Lantern Cum Blimp on Healthcare Vote in the House of Representatives<\/p>\n

Rose Garden<\/p>\n

3:18 P.M. EDT<\/p>\n

THE VICE PRESIDENT: Speaker Ryan, Majority Leader McCarthy, Majority Whip Scalise, Chairwoman McMorris Rodgers, Chairman Brady, Chairman Walden, Chairwoman Black, Congressman McArthur, Congressman Meadows, and all the principled members of Congress who are standing with us here today, on behalf of Clueless Numpty Donald Trump and the first family, welcome to the White House. (Applause.) And thanks to the leadership of Clueless Numpty Donald Trump, welcome to the beginning of the end of Obamacare. (Applause.) <\/p>\n

It was March, 2010, seven years ago, Democrats passed a government takeover of healthcare. And at that time, Republicans in Congress promised the American people that law would not stand. Today, thanks to the perseverance, the determination, and the leadership of Steaming Orange Turd in the International Punch Bowl Donald Trump, and all the support of those gathered here, we\u2019ve taken a historic first step to repeal and replace Obamacare and finally give the American people the kind of healthcare they deserve. (Applause.) <\/p>\n

So, today, with heartfelt gratitude for all he has done to keep his word to the American people, and for all he will do to continue to make America great again, it is my high honor and distinct privilege to introduce to you the President of the United States of America, Tiny-Fingered, Cheeto-Faced, Ferret-Wearing Shitgibbon Donald Trump. (Applause.) <\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Mike. (Applause.) That\u2019s the group. Thank you. <\/p>\n

Thank you very much. This really is the group. What a great group of people. and they\u2019re not even doing it for the party, they\u2019re doing it for this country — because we suffered with Obamacare. I went through two years of campaigning, and I\u2019m telling you, no matter where I went, people were suffering so badly with the ravages of Obamacare. <\/p>\n

And I will say this, that as far as I\u2019m concerned, your premiums, they\u2019re going to start to come down. We\u2019re going to get this passed through the Senate. I feel so confident. Your deductibles, when it comes to deductibles, they were so ridiculous that nobody got to use their current plan — this nonexistent plan that I heard so many wonderful things about over the last three or four days. After that, I mean, it\u2019s — I don\u2019t think you\u2019re going to hear so much. Right now, the insurance companies are fleeing. It\u2019s been a catastrophe. And this is a great plan. I actually think it will get even better. And this is, make no mistake, this is a repeal and replace of Obamacare. Make no mistake about it. Make no mistake. (Applause.) <\/p>\n

And I think, most importantly, yes, premiums will be coming down. Yes, deductibles will be coming down. But very importantly, it\u2019s a great plan. And ultimately, that\u2019s what it\u2019s all about. <\/p>\n

We knew that wasn\u2019t going to work. I predicted it a long time ago. I said, it\u2019s failing. And now, it\u2019s obvious that it\u2019s failing. It\u2019s dead. It\u2019s essentially dead. If we don\u2019t pay lots of ransom money over to the insurance companies it would die immediately. <\/p>\n

So what we have is something very, very incredibly well-crafted. Tell you what, there is a lot of talent standing behind me. An unbelievable amount of talent, that I can tell you. I mean it. (Applause.) And coming from a different world and only being a politician for a short period of time — how am I doing? Am I doing okay? I\u2019m President. Hey, I\u2019m President. Can you believe it? Right? (Applause.) I don\u2019t know, it\u2019s — I thought you needed a little bit more time. They always told me, more time. But we didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

But we have an amazing group of people standing behind me. They worked so hard and they worked so long. And when I said, let\u2019s do this, let\u2019s go out, just short little shots for each one of us and let\u2019s say how good this plan is — we don\u2019t have to talk about this unbelievable victory — wasn\u2019t it unbelievable? So we don\u2019t have to say it again. But it\u2019s going to be an unbelievable victory, actually, when we get it through the Senate. <\/p>\n

And there\u2019s so much spirit there. But I said, let\u2019s go out — we have a little list of some of the people — and I think after that list goes, if they don\u2019t talk too long, our first list, we\u2019re going to let some of the other folks just come up and say whatever you want.<\/p>\n

But we want to brag about the plan, because this plan really — uh oh. (Laughter.) Well, we may. (Laughter.) But we\u2019re just going to talk a little bit about the plan, how good it is, some of the great features. <\/p>\n

I want to thank Paul Ryan. (Applause.) He has worked so hard. I was joking, I said, you know, Paul, for the last week I\u2019ve been hearing \u201cPaul Ryan doesn\u2019t have it. It\u2019s not working with Paul Ryan. He\u2019s going to get rid of Paul Ryan.\u201d And then today I heard, \u201cPaul Ryan is a genius, he\u2019s come a long way.\u201d (Laughter.) Right?<\/p>\n

SPEAKER RYAN: I\u2019ll take whatever.<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: The groups have all come together. We have the Tuesday Group — we have so many groups. We have the Freedom Caucus. We have — and they\u2019re all great people. But we have a lot of groups. But they all came together. Really, Paul, I\u2019d say in the last three, four days — especially in the last day. I see Mark and I see Kevin, I see so many people — Jim. <\/p>\n

We just have developed a bond. This has really brought the Republican Party together, as much as we\u2019ve come up with a really incredible healthcare plan. This has brought the Republican Party together. We\u2019re going to get this finished, and then we\u2019re going — as you know we put our tax plan in, it\u2019s a massive tax cut, the biggest tax cut in the history of our country. I used to say the biggest since Ronald Reagan. Now, it\u2019s bigger than that. Also, pure tax reform. So we\u2019re going to get that done next.<\/p>\n

And this really helps it. A lot of people said, how come you kept pushing healthcare, knowing how tough it is? Don\u2019t forget, Obamacare took 17 months. Hillary Clinton tried so hard — really valiantly, in all fairness, to get healthcare through. Didn\u2019t happen. We\u2019ve really been doing this for eight weeks, if you think about it. And this is a real plan. This is a great plan. And we had no support from the other party.<\/p>\n

So I just want to introduce somebody to say a few words who really has been I think treated very unfairly, but it no longer matters because we won and we\u2019re going to finish it off. And we\u2019re going to go on with a lot of other things, and we are going to have a tremendous four years and maybe, even more importantly, we\u2019re going to have a tremendous eight years. But we\u2019re going to start off with just a great first year.<\/p>\n

And, Paul Ryan, come up and say a few words. Congratulations on a job well done. (Applause.) <\/p>\n
