Colbert: Trump Doesn’t Want His Name Attached to a Health Plan No One Likes

‘White House is asking, don’t call it ‘Trumpcare’

COLBERT: "So Trump is pulling out all the stops on this healthcare bill, except when it comes to the name because the White House is asking, 'Please don't call it TrumpCare.' TrumpCare, TrumpCare, TrumpCare. He doesn't want you to call it TrumpCare. When it comes to whether you should call it TrumpCare, that is one thing about which Trump cares. In fact, according to one GOP operative, 'Pretty much anything with the pejorative suffix on it - 'care'  - is going to be viewed unfavorably by conservatives.' Yes, very important. Conservatives don't want to be associated with caring. That's why the official mascot of ObamaCare repeal is 'Suck-it, the don't-care bear.' Do we have those? Did we get those t-shirts? I want that t-shirt. I would sell that t-shirt. Or maybe Trump just doesn't want to attach his name to something that no one likes. Although that never stopped him before."
