WATCH: Hours After Celebrating TrumpCare Bill Passage Trump Says Australia’s Universal Health Care Is ‘Better’
‘You Have Better Health Care Than We Do’
You can’t make this stuff up.
Hours after President Trump invited House Republicans to the White House to celebrate the slim passage of his TrumpCare bill to repeal and replace ObamaCare, the President flew to Manhattan to attend a dinner with Australia’s Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.
The two heads of state, aboard the retired Intrepid aircraft carrier, celebrated Australia’s and America’s win against Japan in the World War II Battle of the Coral Sea.
Cameras filmed President Trump boasting about his health care “win,” while claiming ObamaCare is “failing.”
“I shouldn’t say this,” Trump told the Australian Prime Minister, “because you have better health care than we do.”
Australia has universal health care.
