At one of his final pre-midterm rallies in Missouri, President Donald Trump made an utterly bizarre claim: Democrats are coming for your ... Obamacare.
"One of their very first projects will be a socialist takeover of American health care, you know what's happening, and your taxes are going to triple, maybe quadruple," he said. "You're not going to be happy, I know you well. The Democrat plan would obliterate Obamacare, it will also — which is good, but will leave the bad parts behind."

Even Trump seemed to realize halfway into that rant the absurdity of claiming Democrats will "obliterate Obamacare" — the party's landmark accomplishment that he and Republicans have spent years sabotaging and trying to repeal.
And in no time, social media exploded with mockery and disbelief at the president:
Trump getting confused: "The Democrat plan would obliterate Obamacare (he meant to say Medicare). It will also, which is good, but leave the bad parts behind." He never admits he has misspoken, simply strains to make the sentence make sense.

Nothing makes sense, up is down and down is up
