Trump to senators: We'll 'make a deal on health care' very quickly

Popular vote loser Donald Trump was in a buoyant mood Tuesday at a White House reception for the Senate. He was so pleased that "A lot of people showed up" that he was optimistic and generous, promising that there would be a "deal" on Trumpcare, "very quickly."

"A lot of people showed up," Trump said of the crowd, which included more than half the Senate and their spouses. "People we weren't expecting. I know that we are all going to make a deal on health care. That's such an easy one."

He added, "I have no doubt that's going to happen very quickly."

Never mind that massive, catastrophic collapse of his premiere legislative effort and the thing he'd been promising to do "day one" for the whole of the presidential campaign—repeal Obamacare. But hey, it's just "such an easy one." Because they all showed up to his party, apparently, and he had "some very special friends in the room," a "shockingly … bipartisan" crowd. He even happily greeted the man he had called "Fake Tears Chuck Schumer"—whose great-grandmother died in the Holocaust—for opposing his Muslim ban. "I think we are going to have some very good relationships—right, Chuck?" he called out Tuesday night. "I see Chuck. Hello, Chuck."

"Nobody ever told me that politics was going to be so much fun," said the man whose campaign is under investigation by the FBI for potential treason and who has the lowest approval rating of any new president since polling began. Fun times.

For the record, a deal is not going to happen.
