Trump says he's open to health care deal but government must reopen first. SURE, let's TRUST his word on this! [View all]

“We have a negotiation going on right now with the Democrats that could lead to very good things,” Donald Trump told reporters. “And I’m talking about good things with regard to health care.”
The comments were one of the few hopeful signs Monday as the government shutdown hit its sixth day. Negotiations between the two parties have been virtually nonexistent since the start of the shutdown despite the impact on federal services.
But Trump later followed up those comments on his social media site to reinforce what GOP leaders in Congress have been saying: The shutdown must end. And work on extending the enhanced tax credits for health insurance would take place separately.
“I am happy to work with the Democrats on their Failed Healthcare Policies, or anything else, but first they must allow our Government to re-open. In fact, they should open our Government tonight!” Trump wrote.
