President Donald Trump admitted he is "most disappointed" he has been unable during his first term to eliminate Obamacare and completely overhaul healthcare coverage.
In a Fox News Town Hall in Scranton, Pennsylvania, Trump vowed, if the GOP retakes the majority in the House, "we'll have the best healthcare on the planet.
"I'm most disappointed that I haven't been able to say what a good job we've done," he said, though he touted the "many healthcare plans" now available that are "cheaper" and "better."
"What we'd like to do is totally kill it," he said of Obamacare. "It's not great healthcare, but we're managing it great.
"We have to win back the House," he continued, adding, "If we can get the House, you'll have the best healthcare on the planet."
He also took several wide swipes at his predecessor, President Barack Obama, saying they do not talk — and at their last face-to-face meeting at the funeral of President George H.W. Bush, he said exactly two words to Obama.
"Hello. Goodbye," Trump said.
He reserved his sharpest criticism of Obama on foreign policy, trade deals, and the military.
"I didn't like the job he did," Trump said.
"I didn't like what he did to our military," he added, asserting North Korean leader Kim Jong Un "didn't want to talk to" Obama.
"He talked to me," he said, adding his rhetoric aimed at Kim, including chides about "Little Rocket Man," is what "got us to a place" of negotiations.
"We're not in war with North Korea," Trump said, adding, "that's not bad," and admitting there has been no success in stopping the rogue nation's nuclearization.
He also trashed Biden for his support of the NAFTA trade agreement in the 1990s.
Yet, Trump predicted, the large divide between Democrats and Republicans that has roiled the nation over the past three years will close — if he wins re-election in November.
"Politicians have to be able to be civil, if not you have to fight back," he said.
"When I win, [Democrats] will say, 'OK, let's get along," he concluded.
"It's going to come together sooner than you think."
