“Military action would certainly be an option. Is it inevitable? Nothing’s inevitable. It would be great if something else could be worked out.

Hard to fault Trump. Over seven months, Congress showed itself incapable of repealing Obamacare, though the GOP promised this as its first priority in three successive elections.
