President Trump tweeted his excitement over the House Republican health care bill Friday, but did say it will take another round of legislation before health care will be “great.” 

“Big win in the House - very exciting! But when everything comes together with the inclusion of Phase 2, we will have truly great healthcare!”

Mr. Trump also tweeted that he would be working out of his New Jersey home this weekend to save taxpayers’ money instead of staying in New York City. 

“Rather than causing a big disruption in N.Y.C., I will be working out of my home in Bedminster, N.J. this weekend. Also save country money!”

This is his first weekend at his New Jersey home since taking office, but was his main office for meetings with possible cabinet members during the transition. The president was criticized for the cost and hassle of security around Trump Tower in Manhattan during the presidential transition and early administration.
