Senate Republicans push Trump to join ObamaCare talks

"SNIP..........

“Next step is really for the White House to sit down with Democrats, and discuss their asks and negotiate,” said a Senate GOP aide. “This is the legislative process. If they have suggestions, then now they need to negotiate.”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) likewise shifted decision-making to the White House when asked Sunday about the bipartisan bill from Alexander and Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.).

“If there's a need for some kind of interim step here to stabilize the market, we need a bill the president will actually sign,” McConnell said on CNN. “And I'm not certain yet what the president is looking for here, but I will be happy to bring a bill to the floor if I know President Trump would sign it.”

Democrats, though, are pushing back on the idea of additional talks, saying they already negotiated a fair deal.

The rest of the country knows he'll sign any legislation named after himself. Why don't you? My guess is that you've never worked with children before.
