Speaking from the Oval Office after he told House Speaker Paul Ryan to pull the bill when it became clear it did not have enough Republican votes to pass, Trump took aim at the Democrats, who do not have a majority in either branch of Congress.
"We had no Democrat support," Trump said, later adding, "A lot of people don't realize how good our bill was."
Trump added the real "losers" were Democratic leaders, and not Republican leadership.
