MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Tuesday unleashed a brutal supercut of President Donald Trump making promises about health care that have turned out to be completely empty.
The video starts back in 2015, months after Trump announced he was running for president. During a "60 Minutes" interview, Trump endorsed the idea of universal health care, which he said set him apart from other Republicans in the race.
"This is an un-Republican thing for me to say... I am going to take care of everybody, I don't care if it costs me votes or not," he said.
During an interview two days after winning the presidential election, Trump then insisted that people with preexisting conditions would be taken care of under any health care plan he signs, even though the plan that would subsequently be passed by the GOP House and endorsed by the president would let states opt out of giving protections to people with preexisting conditions.
Just a few months later, Trump told reporters that health care was "an unbelievably complex subject" and that "nobody knew health care could be so complicated."
And then, after losing control of the House of Representatives thanks to Democrats campaigning against Trump's failed health care plan, Trump nonetheless went before reporters and claimed, "The Republican Party will soon be known as the party of health care."
"OK, so four years of promises and Donald Trump says he understands health care now," commented MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski. "But you won't see a plan for another 19 months!"
