Trump takes issue with McConnell’s accusation that he had ‘excessive expectations’ for Congress
9 August 2017 - President Trump on Wednesday took a shot at Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, pointedly asking on Twitter why congressional Republicans had failed after seven years of promises to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.
Trump’s tweet came two days after McConnell vented at a Rotary Club meeting in Kentucky that Trump’s lack of political experience had created “excessive expectations” for passing major legislation.
“Senator Mitch McConnell said I had ‘excessive expectations,’ but I don't think so,” Trump wrote. “After 7 years of hearing Repeal & Replace, why not done?”
