Trump regrets putting ObamaCare repeal on top of agenda, blames Ryan: report

Source: The Hill




BY MAX GREENWOOD - 09/08/17 10:28 AM EDT

President Trump reportedly regrets putting repealing and replacing ObamaCare at the top of his legislative agenda and blames House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) for assuring him that a health-care overhaul was sure to pass in the GOP-controlled Congress

Trump has privately fumed that Republican congressional leaders, including Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.), misled him on health care, among other issues, the Associated Press reported Friday.

The House rejected an initial proposal to repeal the Affordable Care Act before finally passing a revised measure earlier this year. But the effort later floundered in the Senate, and was ultimately upended in July when the chamber narrowly voted down a slimmed-down ObamaCare repeal bill. Trump has voiced particular frustration with McConnell for that failure.

Still, the president's relationship with Ryan has grown frosty recently, according to the AP. The two men talk less frequently than they used to, and Trump very publicly broke with the speaker this week when he agreed to a deal with House and Senate Democratic leaders on a short-term debt ceiling increase.

all those lies about ACA Republicans pushed for years.

Ryan & McConnel, (along with R-TV fox lies) fed trump the same lies and he believed them for the past year.

Typical of other rich right wingers I've known. He could take responsibility for the failure, or he could very easily just let the issue go away. But being the arrogant asshole that he is there absolutely must be someone to blame.

Trump was SO fixated during the campaign that repealing the ACA was one of the project he was going to start with on "day one" of his administration. Is he suddenly blaming Ryan for THAT? So Ryan was exerting secret influence over Trump's campaign all the time. No WONDER Bannon was so pissed at him!! And they say no one can keep a secret in Washington...........

You can't blame ryan (odious as he is) for your obsession with obliterating anything President Obama did.

If there is any sort of accurate history written of this disastrous presidency, dump's fixation on the previous president will be given center state. dump appears to be driven by this hatred above all else. Hope the record shows that he should be reviled for placing his personal revenge on a black man above the good of the nation.

20 Diversion Tactics Highly Manipulative Narcissists, Sociopaths And Psychopaths Use To Silence You

https://thoughtcatalog.com/shahida-arabi/2016/06/20-diversion-tactics-highly-manipulative-narcissists-sociopaths-and-psychopaths-use-to-silence-you/

2. Projection.
One sure sign of toxicity is when a person is chronically unwilling to see his or her own shortcomings and uses everything in their power to avoid being held accountable for them. This is known as projection. Projection is a defense mechanism used to displace responsibility of one’s negative behavior and traits by attributing them to someone else. It ultimately acts as a digression that avoids ownership and accountability.

While we all engage in projection to some extent, according to Narcissistic Personality clinical expert Dr. Martinez-Lewi, the projections of a narcissist are often psychologically abusive. Rather than acknowledge their own flaws, imperfections and wrongdoings, malignant narcissists and sociopaths opt to dump their own traits on their unsuspecting suspects in a way that is painful and excessively cruel. Instead of admitting that self-improvement may be in order, they would prefer that their victims take responsibility for their behavior and feel ashamed of themselves. This is a way for a narcissist to project any toxic shame they have about themselves onto another.

For example, a person who engages in pathological lying may accuse their partner of fibbing; a needy spouse may call their husband “clingy” in an attempt to depict them as the one who is dependent; a rude employee may call their boss ineffective in an effort to escape the truth about their own productivity.

Narcissistic abusers love to play the “blameshifting game.” Objectives of the game: they win, you lose, and you or the world at large is blamed for everything that’s wrong with them. This way, you get to babysit their fragile ego while you’re thrust into a sea of self-doubt. Fun, right?
