We have a vicious, cruel idiot as President: We won't have these crowds if we don't get this done

Trump worried that people would stop coming to his rallies if Republicans fail to pass health care reform.

On Tuesday, Trump traveled to Capitol Hill to meet with House Republicans reluctant to pass a Republican health care bill that has been championed by Paul Ryan.

Trump began his meeting by congratulating himself for the crowd size at a Monday night rally in Louisville. Trump warned that the value of his earned media would be diminished if the health care bill fails.

“We won’t have these crowds if we don’t get this done,” he reportedly complained. “I honestly think many of you will lose your seats in 2018 if you don’t get this done.”

Trump left the meeting without taking questions.

Oh, he didn't take questions. I would have like that question raised.

Boomers aren't going to take too kindly to having their benefits slashed no matter who they voted for.
