Donald Trump has called on divided Republican lawmakers to unite and defund the Affordable Care Act, which he fears will "shut down the government" if not stopped.
"The hard part for the Republicans is you have a group of people who want to do it and you have a group … [who] don't want to do it and that puts the ones that want to do it in a very bad position," Trump told "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV.
Trump disputes the argument by some GOP lawmakers who oppose defunding that they would be blamed for a government shutdown if federal spending is held hostage.
"Obamacare is a disaster. Obamacare will shut down the government of its own weight pretty soon if we don't do something about it," he said.
"The Republicans have tremendous leverage at this point . . . This is the time and they have to do something about it . . . Approve a budget, but I would not include Obamacare in the budget.
"That way, at some point they'll have to make a decision. Do we get rid of this monster, which is an absolute monster — and by the way the Democrats know about it 100 percent … how bad it is — or don't we get rid of it?"

Boehner & McConnell are probably out fundraising, so they can screw us for a few more years. They are just too busy.
He’s right, so I will give him the credit for speaking up at least.
Trump vs. Trump:
“We must have universal healthcare. I’m a conservative on most issues but a liberal on this one.”
— Donald Trump, “The American We Deserve”, 2000
I’m going to give him credit for seeing the light, despite his previous views, but I also think that the notion of government collapsing under the weight of Obamacare is a fantasy. They’ll gladly operate in the red (accounting parlance) to secure their foot over the throat of America. Funding issues are silly outdated notions of a Pre-Obama age.
Trump, forget the GOP. These idiot wimps are afraid of their own shadow. America is lost.
Good catch.
” secure their foot over the throat of America.”
Yep. Obamacare will unleash a terrorist outfit on all of us. See IRS.
Also, when governments “collapse”, they don’t just evaporate into nothingness, they form a dense, dark, inescapable core where normal laws don’t apply... like Zimbabwe.
Yep
Please, his proper name is, “Boner.” Double meanng intended.
