On Friday, President Trump struggling to work with Senate Republicans to pass Obamacare reform suggested a possible solution.

Maybe, just maybe, Republicans should repeal Obamacare and then replace it piecemeal.

He tweeted, quote, if Republican senators are unable to pass what they are working on now, they should immediately repeal and then replace at a later date.

Naturally, conservatives, like some people in this room, have been promoting this policy since literally before the 2016 campaign for like seven years.

And Trump and the Republicans refused to follow that policy prescription because they believed simple repeal wouldn't be a good campaign slogan.

They wanted the cop out of being able to tell Americans they had a super double secret plan to replace Obamacare.

It turns out there was no such plan and that the Republican caucus is fractious and bickering and that it unites big spending moderates with conservative free marketers, and that it's kind of difficult to replace Obamacare, much more so than to repeal it outright. But only now, after months of talk about how Republicans want to destroy Medicaid and throw poor people off cliff and stab Graham on the chest, does Trump come to this eminently obvious solution? One of the great ironies, of course, is that Trump says this directly after meeting with Senator Rand Paul. You'll recall the tenant majority leader Mitch McConnell actually wanted to first repeal Obamacare wholesale and then replace it, but it was a guy named Rand Paul who told him not to do so and told Trump that to do so would be a mistake.

Now Paul has flipped. He tweeted, quote, I've spoken to President Trump and Senate leadership about this and agree. Let's keep our word to repeal, then work on replacing right away. This follows hard on pressure from conservative senators Tom Cotton and Ben Sass, who said they would push to separate repeal and replace into two pieces. Well, better late than never, but Republicans are running out of time.

They made a promise to the American people... and Ben Sass, who said they would push to separate repeal and replace into two pieces. Well, better late than never, but Republicans are running out of time.

They made a promise to the American people.

Now it's time to keep that promise.

And it looks like maybe President Trump is finally on board.

I'm Ben Shapiro.

This is the Ben Shapiro show.

Oh my gosh, there is so much going on in the world. And so much of it is caused by silliness on Twitter and MSNBC. The big story of the day, of course, is that over on MSNBC, Mika Brzynski and Joe Scarborough are in it with President Trump. And they're in it because yesterday, Mika Brzynski attacked Trump on the air, and here is what she had to say about Trump. This is clip three.

Blake covers of Time magazine. He was so needy. He had not been on time yet that he made his own.

Okay. Oh my God. This is your boss. This is your boss. He put this on display at least five of his clubs. It was first flagged by reporter.

Trump is hitting on all front, even TV.

Several exclamation points on the headline, something Time magazine doesn't do.

The make-believe cover is dated March 1st, 2009 and highlights Trump's reality show The Apprentice.

Time Magazine has since asked Trump to remove the phony cover.

Phony. A phony, fake, pathetic, made-up cover of Time Magazine.
