President Donald Trump confirmed in an interview aired Sunday that he called House Republicans’ bill to repeal and replace Obamacare “mean” in a private meeting, and claimed former President Barack Obama copied his one-word phrasing.

“He actually used my term, mean. That was my term. Because I want to see, and I speak from the heart, that’s what I want to see. I want to see a bill with heart,” Trump said in an interview on “Fox and Friends” with Pete Hegseth.

Obama on Thursday said the newly revealed Senate repeal bill is built on “fundamental meanness.”

The Associated Press reported earlier in June that Trump referred to the House-passed bill to repeal Obamacare as “mean” and asked Republican senators to draft a “more generous” proposal.

2. So now nobody else is allowed to use any words He has used?

Come to think of it, that shouldn't be much of a problem because he has the vocabulary of a golden retriever. There are plenty of words left over for the smart people.

6. "I want to see a bill with heart," Trump said in an interview on Fox and Friends with Pete Hegseth,

"but I'll accept and sign whatever comes across my desk, even with Republican death panels as a feature."

(the last part of the quote may be partially speculative, believe me.)

11. So why did Not-Mean Trump's VP meet with the Koch brothers on Friday?

"Charles Koch and his chief lieutenants met privately with Vice President Mike Pence for nearly an hour Friday. Pence, a longtime Koch ally, was in Colorado Springs to address a gathering of religious conservatives."

So he looks like he cares for the people... He just forked it over to congress to do with what they will. Like giving the military over to the generals... Just do it and tell prez what happened..
