TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “As President Donald Trump continues to pillory House conservatives who derailed efforts to repeal and replace Obamacare, he took a different tack Sunday [4-2-17] with one of the Republican senators who had been loudly egging them on, inviting Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul to play golf at one of his eponymous courses.
White House spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham confirmed that Trump was playing golf with Paul as well as White House budget director Mick Mulvaney at Trump National Golf Club in Potomac Falls, Virginia. It was the President’s 14th trip to one of his courses in just over 10 weeks since taking office in January.
Grisham added that health care would be a big focus at discussions during the outing.
After the game was through, Paul told reporters he continued to be ‘very optimistic’ about an agreement on repealing Obamacare, saying a deal was getting ‘closer and closer’ and tweeting out the same.”
