Trump tweets on health care, hits golf course during holiday

President Donald Trump is predicting that Democrats and Republicans will “eventually come together” on a new health care plan for the country.

Sending a Twitter post early Tuesday from his resort in Palm Beach before heading to the golf course, Trump said “the very unfair and unpopular Individual Mandate has been terminated as part of our Tax Cut Bill, which essentially Repeals (over time) Obamacare.”

Much of former President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act remains intact, however, and the sign-up period for the various options was carried out as usual this year.

Majority Republicans sought repeatedly to repeal the 2010 law this year, but couldn’t get it through the Senate.

Trump, his wife, Melania, and their son, Barron, spent Christmas at his Mar-a-Lago resort.

Shortly before 9 a.m. Tuesday, the president’s motorcade left Mar-a-Lago for the short drive to Trump International Golf Club — arriving at 9:05 a.m.

The president was playing golf Tuesday with Sen. David Perdue of Georgia, current PGA Tour player Bryson DeChambeau and former PGA Tour player Dana Quigley, according to the White House.

In the evening, Trump then predicted that 2018 would be a great year for business, jobs and the stock market thanks to the tax legislation he signed into law just before Christmas.
