On Monday evening, when it became clear that two more Senators–Mike Lee and Jerry Moran–would not be supporting the GOP’s healthcare bill when it comes up for consideration, President Trump had a temper tantrum and, as he so often does, took to Twitter so he could vent his spleen:
Republicans should just REPEAL failing ObamaCare now & work on a new Healthcare Plan that will start from a clean slate. Dems will join in!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 18, 2017
And then early Tuesday morning Trump was back at it, sending out these two postings:
We were let down by all of the Democrats and a few Republicans. Most Republicans were loyal, terrific & worked really hard. We will return!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 18, 2017
As I have always said, let ObamaCare fail and then come together and do a great healthcare plan. Stay tuned!

So Trump went from repealing Obamacare to letting it fail, and there were more than a few who let the Donald know exactly how badly he had just failed:

Obamacare remains the law of the land. Your promise to repeal and replace Obamacare failed. #MAGA

Think you said repeal and replace – don't recall you ever saying 'let ObamaCare fail'#NiceTryTrump
