(Amber Ferguson/The Washington Post)A day after a years-long effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act collapsed on Capitol Hill, President Trump castigated Republican senators for their inability to pass legislation. “They look like fools,” Trump wrote Saturday morning on Twitter. Republican Senate must get rid of 60 vote NOW! By way of persuasion, Trump wrote that Republican senators “look like fools and are just wasting time,” and will “NEVER win” until they kill the rule. On Saturday, Trump blamed the filibuster for hypothetically allowing Democrats to block “complete Healthcare,” though so far Republican senators have not been able to unite around even a narrowly tailored bill.
