    WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump made one of his most explicit threats to cut off payments to insurance companies to force senators and lobbyists back to the bargaining table for a GOP health-care bill, and saying, for the first time, that he was also willing to cancel some of lawmakers’ health-care benefits.

    “If a new HealthCare Bill is not approved quickly, BAILOUTS for Insurance Companies and BAILOUTS for Members of Congress will end very soon!” Mr. Trump tweeted Saturday.

    Mr. Trump’s statement came less than two days after the collapse in the Senate of Republicans’ effort to overturn the Affordable Care Act.

    This will whip their asses into shaped for sure. But let’s not stop there. How about stop the free haircuts, free gym memberships, and other free amenities on Capital Hill. Stop all the freebies until the get s~~~ done.

    I love how desperate the media is to try to turn Obamacare into Trump’s mess. Its already in a death spiral. its already failing. There are already counties with zero plans being offered on their ACA exchanges. Rates have gone up since it was passed, and deductibles for many have sky rocketed. Even if Trump wanted to fix it, I doubt he could. You can’t fix stupid.

    Thank you.

    What we are seeing is President Trump firing a shot across the bow of the Congress/Senate and the insurance companies whom have lobbied Congress/Senate to screw over and steal from the middle class of America.

    This was warning was timed to be given today because the markets are closed. The stocks of Health Companies will not be effected by this until the markets open on Monday. And even then that depends on what the response is.

    President Trump has given them over a day to think about what their response will be.

    Putting Retired General John Kelly as the new Chief of Staff shows President Trump is not bluffing. He will likely do it. But, he does not want to do so.

    It look like President Trump has decided to stop being mister nice guy towards Congress/Senate. He is going to show the politicians on the hill what playing hardball is all about.

    In other related news, putting Retired General John Kelly as the Chief of Staff is good move for dealing with leaks. Chief of Staff Kelly’s experience in intelligence work will help him find the leaks.

    Though, with Mister Kelly now in the role of Chief of Staff creates a vacancy in for the Secretary of the DHS.

    For a number of reasons there is a real possibility that President Trump will seek to transfer AJ Jeff Sessions from the DOJ to being Secretary of DHS.

    While people have their issues with Jeff Sessions, what he has been doing about immigration issues has been marvelous. But he has allowed internal issues to linger.

    It is likely that Jeff Sessions would likely do better as heading up the DHS. This will allow him to fully focus on the immigration problems and allow him to move away from other issues.

    Jeff Sessions already has a background check done in him. This prevents part of the slow walking the swamp has been doing towards the Trump Administration.

    The key here is the Senators have politically warned President Trump they would do nothing if he fired Jeff Sessions. But, it will throw the Senators for a loop if President Trump offers to want to transfer Jeff Session to another part of his administration.

    Some of this will depend on if and when President Trump’s nominee for Director of FBI, Christopher Wray, is confirmed by the Senate.

    President Trump cannot be without a AJ and a Director of FBI at the same time.

    Then there is Muller and his group in the wings whom have been given the Trump Administration headaches in their witch hunts.

    Where I am getting my information from is Inforwars and Zerohedge. Various people interviewed on Inforwars have stated that President Trump will have an administration which will be in flux. People will be hired for a time then either transferred of fired. That President Trump does not want his administration to cement into a do nothing administration. That President Trump wants results, even if he has to continually keep everyone under his command on their toes.

    President Trump does not see last week’s betrayal by the Senators over repealing Obamacare as a loss for himself.

    The rinos and democrats are celebrating protecting a failing project as a way to spite President Trump and the American people.

    Even the media, whom hate President Trump, are downplaying this as a win for the democrats and a loss for President Trump.

    This is only a minor setback.

    So, grab some popcorn and something to drink, because it is clear this show is just getting started.

    Abolish the federal government altogether and let states be STATES! On the world stage there’s nobody here to hate if D.C. were abolished! It doesn’t work anyway so why not scrap it?

    Faust, i like ZeroHedge and American Thinker. You should listen to Bill Mitchell. He has a show on Youtube and Periscope call “Your Voice America”. He is who i listened to for the bulk of my news during the election. He has a habit of being right. He’s always looking at the big picture. Check him out.

    He should threaten to take their benefits away, because Congress isn’t in no big hurry to fix our health care issues. They campaigned for 7 years to repeal Obama care and now with their chance to do it, they’re screwing around. So yeah, until Congress gets their act together and fix our health care problem, they shouldn’t have their benefits!

    It is likely that President Trump will wait for their reply and act accordingly. Should President Trump act on this, it will probably be Monday evening at the earliest.

    I has been reading some forums on this subject. A number of posters have some very good idea.

    On top of President Trump removing the (small business) exemptions for Congress/Senate, their staff, and stopping the bailouts to the insurance companies.

    President Trump should remove the insurance mandate exemptions for the large corporations.

    In addition, President Trump should give all U.S. citizens (excluding Congress/Senate and their staff) exemptions to the insurance mandate. Also, small businesses with less than a thousand employees should have an exemption as well under the “small business” exemption.

    For once, let Congress and their lobbyist masters be the ones to pay a horrible tax, instead of the American people.
