He spoke about that earlier today. He's really not commenting much on Trump and is rather taking a much longer-term view on things. On healthcare, he's very firm in his view that Obamacare currently is having a real negative impact on his constituents - he wasn't supporting Trump or the GOP in some political posturing, he just has a view grounded in evidence that there is a better way. Across the board there's agreement that the cost of deductibles is a huge problem and he's one of the ones that can see it pricing some of his constituents out of healthcare and thinks they need to go back to the beginning to fix that. Seems reasonable to me.

This is getting picked up by everyone now.
Trump: FAKE NEWS!
Everyone else: So you admit it then?
Trump: No it's fake news!
Everyone else: Thank you for confirming that.
Trump: Everyone believes me! What a win!
The better way then is to take it away entirely?
The GOP likes to speak about deficiencies of ACA. They are however very quick to vote down any attempt to fix/improve it. This guy was no exception. Colour me unconvinced.
Seconded. There's a few go-to tweeters I always check. TheHill, Bradd Jaffy, William Legate lately and that other guy with the hipster mustache...
I've lived in third world countries that were run better than how the States is at the moment.
Not particularly surprising given Trump's history with the media. If you combine this with the fact that he personally dictator the Don Jr. response to his meeting with the Russians, then it's pretty damning and will definite eat up much of tonight's news cycle.
Here's the hipster mustache guy @bazalini
Dictating Junior's statement can potentially be considered as obstruction of justice.
Planting a fake story is just despicable. Don't think it threatens his presidency.

Particularly liked his first quote. Just going through the rest of this article.

Whole interview here.
Can't see anything in that Seth Rich Story - have completely read the lawsuit and its too complicated to fall on Trump
Has this been considered yet..?
If Trump dictated his son's statement, this connects him to the meeting (collusion).. would that make it impossible for him to pardon his son?

JK Rowling has apologised. About time as well
I live in one currently. They make us look like competent fair and balanced.
For what?
She made a series of tweets with regards to Trump ignoring a wheel chair bound kid at the WH - it was all over Twitter.
While Trump did ignore the kid in the short video clip that did the rounds on social media - he had in fact spent some time with the kid and showed him around. JK and that failed British import - Piers Morgan - got into it on twitter.
She eventually apologized for being #FakeNews
Fair play.
She made a mistake and misinterpreted a video she saw.
Trump has way more to apologise for than JK Rowling ever will.
He was just being a good dad to a good kid (40 year old 'kid'...but we got people trying to make 16 year old black kids into adults 
)
So - 'he looked into it...didn't dictate - but offered suggestions'
His lawyer only hours ago

Head of the Coast Guard is against the transgender ban...

The Coast Guard in peacetime is a part of the Dept. of Homeland Security, but is typically transfered into the Dept. of the Navy during a major war.

Keystone Kops strike again!
You know there are times when I really miss Hunter S Thompson. It's a real shame that we don't have a peak HST to give us a running commentary on this bunch of hideous criminals squatting in the WH right now.
He'd have a field day with this administration.You know there are times when I really miss Hunter S Thompson. It's a real shame that we don't have a peak HST to give us a running commentary on this bunch of hideous criminals squatting in the WH right now.
Never stop posting <3
As with everything else about him...he lives in an alternate dimension. As others have said - Trump enemies want you to never stop posting...in fact we want you to do more of it

These idiots aren't worth his commentary.
I suppose her error gives more ammunition to Trump's fake news argument and undermines the negative reports about him that are actually true.
No - because the 'misunderstanding' was sorted out in a matter of hours. The Washington Post and Salon saw it trending on twitter and put out articles 'debunking' it. Whereas Trump and his supporters not only LIE, but double down on that LIE after being caught out.
so they can stick their 'ammunition' where the sun don't shine

But it does play into the hands of Trump supporters as being Fake.
Not a bad card to play for the Trump camp. Again highlights the importance of checking sources. I saw that video and instantly said "happy days" - took me 1 min to research it and see it was False.
JK Rowling just made herself look like a twitter troll with her outburst

The one saving grace about this lot is that they are literally too dumb to cover their tracks.
She is little more than that these days to be honest.
Yeah - another one who needs to remove oneself from Twitter. She ain't going to do anything with social media bullies
Who has he sacked today?
Whichever way you look at it there's a strong argument he predicted all this way back with Hell's Angels.
Time to reread!
