In other words, Dump is more than willing to cut of someone else’s nose to spite someone else’s face. What a visionary! More presidential than Pol Pot!

Earlier Saturday, he accused Senate Republicans of “looking like fools”

If the pretender-in-chief were capable of introspection he would be the world’s leading authority on looking like a fool.

I wouldn’t do the first, but I would definitely do the second. Members of Congress can pay for their own health insurance premiums. I think people who make a $174,000 a year don’t need taxpayers subsidizing their health insurance.

The Bully of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue could well end up more than meeting his match by playing King of the Mountain with Congress.

He could have done this on January 20.

He didn’t do it then because everyone would know the Republicans had sabotaged the ACA into a true death spiral, and they wanted to find a less incriminating way to do it.

Turns out all of their efforts were incriminating, and now there’s no one left to do the deed but Trump himself.

The fact that he’s still not doing it, but reverting to Twitter threats instead, tells me he can’t do it now either.

Renaming Obamacare for himself may really be his only way out at this point.

Please start a hot war with GOP-controlled Congress! (But before that, swap out the portrait of Jackson for the one of John Tyler.)

So Trump is threatening to take people’s health care away if Congress doesn’t do it first.

Winning !

In case anyone has a 2 year old who is slow at throwing tantrums, let that 2 year old watch the expert on TV. Little Donnie may be the best president we have ever had, as he believes, at the fine art of the tantrum. Didn’t he write a book (pay someone to write a book) about that??

So add failing to uphold the oath of office to his list of impeachable offenses.

Trump is absolutely vile. And every day, he redefines the outer limits of that description.

And we need to hang that around the throats of GOP scumbags: “Here’s what you stand for, you commie sonsofbitches.”

Empty threats are so lame. Limp, flaccid, low energy. Sad.

Just curious. Would you apply that to an O-7 with 30 years?

The public dance of Trump the magnetic sadist with the iron filing masochists of the Republican Congress is something to behold. Only three of fifty-two Republican Senators and no Republican Representatives have dared decline the devil’s demand.

Trump’s comment suggests he’d consider ending the employer contribution for health insurance currently provided to lawmakers.

Can he do that?
