President Donald Trump said on Friday that he was disappointed that a conservative faction in the House of Representatives blocked his healthcare legislation and said "we learned a lot about loyalty" from the effort.

Speaking in the Oval Office after a stunning political setback, Trump said the healthcare effort was a victim of stalwart Democratic opposition and any future healthcare legislation would likely need Democratic support.

He also said he was surprised and disappointed by the opposition from the House Freedom Caucus, a group of conservatives who prevented Republicans from using their majority in the House to pass the legislation.

Asked if he felt betrayed by the Freedom Caucus, Trump said he did not. "No, I'm not betrayed. They're friends of mine. I'm disappointed because we could have had it. So I'm disappointed. I'm a little surprised, to be honest with you," Trump said.

12. He said no Florida this weekend. I think he planned Aspen Snow for the 'victo(R)y pa(R)ty'

I don't think he skis either, so everyone's stuck in the resort with unhappy Papa.

[Doreen]

14. You can't tell me that fat fucker can ski.

[Sunlei]

15. I don't think he even walks outside in NYC on 5th Avenue, except to get into a car.

[Doreen]

16. I just can not get that amazingly grotesque HUGE ass of his out of my mind.

That thing needs A LOT of exercise.

[Sunlei]

17. my disappointment is /w half our government,Republican party backing someone like him for president.

Republican Party backed him 100%

[Doreen]

18. Republicans have never been able to think for themselves.

They only know how to follow party line. They are like a bunch of flippin lemurs going off a cliff.

[Sunlei]

19. Their voter base is, but the Republicans 'in charge' of party are very clever & very deceptive.

[Doreen]

20. True, they just run off the only thing they know, hate.

[pecosbob]

4. You blamed the Dems for this failure just hours ago...

now who you blaming? The Freedom Fries Caucus is taking credit in case you hadn't noticed, Benedict Donald.

[OnDoutside]

13. Ah give him a break, he's hurtin' real bad ;)

[yallerdawg]

5. With Jared and Ivanka in Aspen...

we'll know what the voices in his head are saying real soon.

[Sunlei]

8. 100 Secret Service needed in Aspen, The gathering for the "we repealed Obamacare" party was so huge.

Set for tonight was a glorious victory party planned,

Oh well, Republicans can still have their 3 million dollar Party,

Without the press coverage.

6. He shouldn't count on Democratic support

Obamacare is fine as it stands from their perspective.

[Sunlei]

7. Trump finally noticed his 'fellow' Republicans aren't 'really' loyal to him at all.

He should come forward on the Russia thing before his 'Fellow Republicans' throw him under the bus to save themselves. They used trump in the Republican campaign to further their own collusion with Russia.

IMO

[SummerSnow]

9. Trump has to stop thinking that Congress and the Senate is 'The Apprentice'

[Sunlei]

10. He will never stop thinking that, never.

Republicans pandered to Trumps personality the entire Republican campaign and the transition.

Trump is not happy with Republicans failure to close the damn deal today, not happy at all.

[Dave Starsky]

11. "Loyalty" to what, dipshit?

In the real world--away from your daddy's money--respect and loyalty are EARNED, assclown. They are a product of trust. Your fellow Republicans are no more loyal to you than you are to them--or anyone else, for that matter. That's what happens when you cultivate a reputation as an untrustworthy piece of shit.

22. If they put a provision

to shoot everybody older than a certain age the Freedom Caucus might go for it.
