President Trump heaped praise on the GOP tax reform bill Wednesday — calling it a “repeal of ObamaCare” that accomplished his longstanding promise to dump the Affordable Care Act.

The president argued that by repealing the individual mandate that people buy health insurance or face a penalty, he had effectively killed his predecessor’s signature accomplishment.

“The individual mandate is being repealed. When the individual mandate is being repealed, that means ObamaCare is being repealed because they get their money from the individual mandate. So the individual mandate is being repealed,” he said at a cabinet meeting at the White House.

“So we have massive tax cuts and tax reform, we have essentially repealed ObamaCare and we’ll come up with something that will be much better. Whether it’s block grants or whether it’s taking what we have and doing something terrific. But ObamaCare has been repealed in this bill.”

The president said the GOP knew all along that the tax bill would spell doom for ObamaCare — but that he wanted to keep it on the down-low.

“We didn’t want to bring it up. I told people specifically, ‘Be quiet with the fake news media because I don’t want them talking too much about it.’ But now that it’s approved, I can say the individual mandate on health care where you had to pay not to have insurance, think of that one, you pay not to have insurance. The individual mandate has been repealed,” he said.

Trump also credited himself with a lengthy list of what he said were his administration’s accomplishments during his first year in office.

“This nation is a nation with tremendous spirit again. You see that, housing confidence is the highest it’s been in many years, just came out.

“Manufacturing the highest level of confidence they’ve had since they started doing it many years ago,” the president said.

“Business has the highest level of confidence, so we’re doing a lot of things. We have done a job like no administration has done.”

Once tax reform is passed, it will only add to the list of his administration’s many achievements, the president said.

“When that’s done, you add all of that to what we’ve done in terms of regulatory, in terms of military. We’ve — as you know, we’re going [to add] $700 billion for military. We’re rebuilding our military. We cannot have a weak military in this time and age, so we’re rebuilding our military,” he said.

He also hailed the bill’s provision that opens up the Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to the energy industry.

“A friend of mine in the oil business said, ‘I can’t believe it, ANWR, they’ve been trying to get in for 40 years.’ I didn’t know that. We’re going to start drilling in one of the largest oil reserves in the world that for 40 years this country was unable to touch,” Trump said.

Ex-President George W. “Bush tried to get it, everybody tried to get it. They couldn’t get it passed. We did that at the request of the two great senators from the state of Alaska, which is a very special place, but I will tell you ANWR is a big, big deal. It’s not ever mentioned by the press.”
