White House Urges Senate to Stay and Work on Health Care as Trump Makes 43rd Trip to Golf Property (Video)

“They Need to Stay, They Need to Work”

Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney said Sunday that official White House policy is for the Senate to stay focused on repealing ObamaCare, as Donald Trump marked his 43rd trip to one of his golf properties since assuming the presidency.

“They should stay and work and figure out a way to solve this problem,” Mulvaney said today on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

“They need to stay, they need to work, and they need to pass something,” he told host Jake Tapper, calling it the official White House position and “the national attitude” toward health care. (The majority of Americans do not support the Republican Senate’s efforts.)

Watch:

Yesterday, the president threatened to sabotage the health care of members of Congress and lower-income Americans, something Mulvaney told Tapper was “the president simply reflecting the mood of the people.”

Despite the “official White House policy” to continue to work hard to strip millions of Americans of their health care, the President of the United States today made his 43rd trip to one of his golf properties, this time to his Virginia golf course.

Prior to this, however, he did urge Republicans to continue their recently-failed efforts. “Don’t give up Republican Senators,” Trump wrote, “the world is watching: Repeal & Replace…and go to 51 votes (nuke option), get Cross State Lines & more.”
