President Trump called out his White House predecessor for calling the GOP-backed health care plan “mean,” saying he was the first to use that term.

“Well he used my term, ‘mean.’ That was my term because I want to see — and I speak from the heart — that’s what I want to see. I want to see a bill with heart,” the president told “Fox and Friends” in an interview broadcast Sunday.

Trump, according to reports, told a gathering of lawmakers earlier this month that the House-passed measure to repeal and replace ObamaCare was “mean” and called for a health care plan with more “heart.”

Former President Barack Obama responded to the Senate’s unveiling of a 142-page bill last Thursday to overhaul his signature legislative achievement by slamming its “fundamental meanness.”

“Simply put, if there’s a chance you might get sick, get old, or start a family — this bill will do you harm,” Obama wrote in a Facebook post.
