President Donald Trump reaffirmed his commitment to restoring America’s full economic strength, declaring that his top priority remains reopening the nation before addressing the country’s failing health care system. “All I want to do is very simple — I want to get the country open, and then we're going to discuss health care,” Trump said, emphasizing a focused and results-driven approach to national recovery.

Speaking before reporters, the President again criticized the Affordable Care Act, calling Obamacare “a horrible mess and it has been from the beginning.” Trump argued that the system, burdened by high premiums and limited options, continues to fail American families—while Democrats, he said, “want to make it worse.”

The remarks come as the Trump Administration continues to push for policies aimed at revitalizing the economy, restoring jobs, and reducing federal overreach. By prioritizing economic reopening, Trump underscored his belief that a strong nation begins with a working population, thriving businesses, and freedom from unnecessary government control.

Critics have long accused Trump of neglecting health care reform, but the President’s message clarifies his sequencing: first rebuild the economy, then tackle the structural reform needed to deliver real, affordable health care options. The administration has already hinted at new initiatives focused on transparency, competition, and patient choice—key principles that contrast sharply with the bureaucratic failures of Obamacare.

Trump’s statement also drew attention to the political divide over how to manage the nation’s health care future. While Democrats continue to advocate for expanded government programs, the President remains firm that such solutions lead only to higher costs and declining quality. “We’re going to fix health care the right way,” Trump said, “after we get America open and strong again.”

The message reflects Trump’s governing philosophy: economic freedom first, reform second, and American resilience always. His call to reopen the country signals renewed confidence in the nation’s ability to overcome challenges through determination, hard work, and leadership that puts citizens—not politics—at the forefront.
