President Trump, in phone call with the Washington Post, says a health care bill won't come up again in the near future

Trump told me he's willing to cut a bipartisan deal in the future: "When it explodes they [Dems] come to us and we make one beautiful deal.”

Well, this is … interesting:
Does Trump regret starting his agenda with health care? “No, I don’t,” he told me. "But in a way I’m glad I got it out of the way.”

Wait a second.

@costareports what an astounding thing to say.

This is the message Trump’s decided to put out there?
"I'm glad I got it out of the way."

Hate to break it to you, Mr. President, but you haven’t gotten anything “out of the way.”
@costareports Failing is not "getting it out of the way"

That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works.
@costareports It's not really 'out of the way' though, is it?

@costareports Huh? What did he get “out of the way?” They failed.

@costareports got what out of the way? His massive failure. That's not "getting it out of the way"

@costareports right, health care is out of the way. it won't loom over his entire presidency. 7 years of screaming about will all drift away
— Matthew Court (@matthewcourt) March 24, 2017
@costareports But he still does not get it. He owns all of it from here on in. Health care, economy, crime, all of it. That's the job.

If this is what he really thinks, it's downright freakishly delusional. Nothing has been resolved. Health care haunts you.

Update:
This isn’t likely to score many points, either:
Trump on Obamacare: "I never said repeal it and replace it within 64 days"

Trump: I never said repeal it and replace it within 64 days.

Oof.
Correct. He said "day one" https://t.co/ArOqHraZO0
— Mat (@sunnyright) March 24, 2017
"ive never said repeal and replace it within 64 days"
which is true. i think he said he'd repeal it on day one

"I never said I'd repeal and replace in two months" – guy who said he'd repeal Obamacare on day one of his presidency

Welp.
