President Trump Insists He’s Engaged With Health Care Bill
President Donald Trump is taking issue with a New York Times story that portrays him as disengaged in the push for the Senate Republican health care bill.
Early Wednesday, President Trump tweeted that “The failing @nytimes writes false story after false story about me.”
President Trump added: “Some of the Fake News Media likes to say that I am not totally engaged in healthcare. Wrong, I know the subject well & want victory for U.S.”
