This morning Trump took to Twitter and made a big prediction for 2018:
Based on the fact that the very unfair and unpopular Individual Mandate has been terminated as part of our Tax Cut Bill, which essentially Repeals (over time) ObamaCare, the Democrats & Republicans will eventually come together and develop a great new HealthCare plan!

I do believe the repeal of the individual mandate will likely spur movement on the health care front in the coming months, however I’m still not sure I believe that Democrats will help fix it. After all, they made this mess in the first place.
Even more importantly, I simply don’t want Democrats to help ‘fix it’. I want Obamacare repealed as Republicans promised in the first place.
Yes, that looks quite unlikely now after the failures of 2017, but adding Democrats to the mix on healthcare, the same ones who gave us Obamacare, will only be for the worse.
Perhaps, however, that’s just the reality of where we are now…
Trump also tweeted a quote from Fox and Friends this morning, which took aim at the FBI for being ‘tainted’ after the Clinton-funded dossier:
WOW, @foxandfrlends “Dossier is bogus. Clinton Campaign, DNC funded Dossier. FBI CANNOT (after all of this time) VERIFY CLAIMS IN DOSSIER OF RUSSIA/TRUMP COLLUSION. FBI TAINTED.” And they used this Crooked Hillary pile of garbage as the basis for going after the Trump Campaign!

As you can imagine, this is getting a lot of play on the news this morning.
