Obama “made it work” by doing things not specified in the legislation and in some cases ignored the law as written. Trump should not “bypass congress” to “make it work” - if they want it to work they need to specify how he should do that. Just say

1) Congress hasn’t sent a replacement so Obamacare is the law
2) My duty as president is to implement and enforce the laws as passed by congress
3) I will follow the Obamacare law to the letter

Then implement it as written.

The details don’t need to be said for Ds to understand
* No exemptions that congress did not specifically include
* No money to pay for Obamacare unless allocated by congress for it

If needed keep tweeting
“I’m implementing the law as written”
“I will not usurp congress’s role in the budget process by ‘finding’ money for obamacare.”
“I will not give exemptions that congress does not authorize”
“I respect the separation of power and the role congress is supposed to play in government”.

When the excuses start pouring in from Ds, go on the offensive
“Obamacare STOLE $20 billion from student loans (did you all forget?)”
“Obamacare specified some insurance company payments/subsidies/profits for 3 years. They ran out in 2017. I cannot continue paying them without congress budgeting to boost insurer profits as specified by the Ds. Why did the Ds only provide for 3 years? (hint: CBO score)”
...

There are a lot of things people forget and Ds DO NOT want to be remembered.

Trump is not going to win that battle right now. The GOPe will work with pinko Democrats and pass bills that override him.

Well said. One of our Framers remarked that the best way to be rid of a bad law was to enforce it.
