Trump sends message to Obama: He ‘owes me BIG'

President Donald Trump discusses a Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity amid his accusations against former President Barack Obama for pushing a faulty Trump-Russia collusion narrative.

Former Navy SEAL and current GOP House lawmaker Rep. Eli Crane of Arizona delivered a pointed message to former President Barack Obama.

"You've done enough damage. Probably best to sit this one out," the congressman told Obama in a post on X.

Crane made the comments in response to a post in which Obama declared, "Since we passed the Affordable Care Act, Republicans have tried over and over to repeal it. And over and over, they’ve failed — in part because millions of people now depend on the ACA for quality, affordable health care. Now Republicans are trying something different: quietly weakening the law and hoping you won’t notice. We can’t let them."

GOP Sen. Mike Lee of Utah wrote in response to the Democrat's post, "Obamacare was a great deal—for huge healthcare companies But it’s made healthcare less affordable for hardworking American families, who have seen their healthcare costs skyrocket—while a small handful of healthcare giants have reaped a windfall of billions of dollars a year."

"The worst part of Obamacare was putting able-bodied, working-age adults on government assistance instead of helping them find employment. I’ve been vocally against this since day one. Medicaid should be for needy children, families, and seniors. Not for those who can work!" former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who is now the president of the Young America's Foundation, wrote.

White House spokesman Kush Desai said in a statement to Fox News Digital, "Obama should start by acknowledging that ACA was a failed promise – a program that was riddled with waste, fraud, and abuse that President Trump and Republicans are slashing. The Administration’s policies are strengthening America’s healthcare system with commonsense reforms to cut red tape, protect Medicaid, and lower drug prices by making wealthy countries finally pay their fair share."
