    Pete Souza joins chorus gloating over Trumpcare failure with epic Instagram

    Tim Chester
    Mashable•March 24, 2017

    The schadenfreude online when Trumpcare collapsed for a second time was deafening. However, amid all the resurfaced Trump tweets and Art of the Deal jokes one troll stood out once again.

    Pete Souza, Obama's official White House photographer, added another Instagram post to his mammoth shade collection against Trump after the news broke Friday.

    This time, Souza shared a photo of Obama and Mike Pence from 2010 — and the caption was devastating.

    "Before voting on the Affordable Care Act in 2010, President Obama met with many members of Congress on both side of the aisle over the course of many months," he wrote. "This picture was taken at the end of a multiple hours-long meeting with the entire Republican House caucus in which he responded to dozens of questions and critiques. It was carried live on cable TV."

    In other words, Obama knew that healthcare was — you know — complicated, and worked hard with Republicans and Democrats, in the glare of the media, to get the ACA pushed through. An approach that differs, you may say, from Trump's efforts this week.

    Of course, Souza's lesson to Trump is a bit late now.
