Mr. Speaker, at the end of the week, President Trump will reach his 100th day in office. These first 100 days, unfortunately, have been defined by chaos, contradiction, and conflicts of interest, and he has broken campaign promise after campaign promise. He claimed he would be the greatest jobs President God ever created, yet he has failed to put forward a single jobs bill and is taking credit for jobs that were created or announced long before he took office. He said he would fight for working families, yet his budget would slash investments that create jobs and opportunities.

The President has promised insurance for everybody--not access, insurance for everybody. He said that over and over again.
