Dear @realDonaldTrump: Has anyone told you that your Department of Justice just told the Supreme Court that when you signed the Tax Reduction Act in 12/17 you *established* an "individual mandate"--"a straightforward command to maintain [minimum health insurance] coverage"?!
That the law you signed "must be read as creating a legal obligation" to maintain insurance that "law-abiding citizens must comply with"?
Now, you know full well that you did no such thing: Indeed, you often boast that you *eliminated* the "mandate" by zeroing out the tax.

But your Solicitor General's entire case is predicated on the opposite proposition: that you and the GOP Congress created a mandate to maintain insurance!
No, seriously. He wrote that.
No, seriously. He wrote that.
In this instance, as @dorfonlaw and I explained, you're 100% right: Of course you did no such thing.
