Trump Issues Ultimatum To Congress: Pass New Healthcare Bill Or Obamacare Stays

In an attempt to break the resistance of House Republicans refusing to pass the health care bill that is taking a toll on his new administration, President Donald Trump has issued an ultimatum.
After days of trying to charm members of Congress, Trump has now stated that if they don't vote yes on Friday, then he will burden them with the shame of failing to repeal Obamacare, reports CNN. If Trump's decision to call the lawmakers' bluff emerges victorious, then he delivers a much-needed win for a White House and establish his authority, however, if his gamble fails, he will taste a humiliating defeat.
Repeatedly on the campaign trail, Trump boasted that he makes "great deals" and lambasted the negotiating skills of his predecessor President Barack Obama -- for instance over the Iran nuclear deal, as he argued he would have driven a much harder bargain.
