“As I have always said, let ObamaCare fail and then come together and do a great healthcare plan. Stay tuned!” the president tweeted on Tuesday, July 18.

The latest plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act failed on Monday, July 17, in the Senate after a lack of Republican support.

Legend’s wife, Chrissy Teigen, has also been critical of the former Celebrity Apprentice host on social media since he was elected. The cookbook author, 31, recently called out Trump on Twitter in June, blasting the POTUS as someone who’s “71 f–king years old” that needs to “Grow. The f–k. Up.”
