Amid a growing debate over a much-maligned, Republican-backed health care bill, President Donald Trump was set to meet with the National Economic Council, legislators and others Thursday.

The president was also scheduled to meet with the head of Homeland Security as well as the director of the CIA. The start of Trump's administration has been rocky at the beginning, with low approval ratings and critics' growing frustration with the president's penchant for tweeting or speaking out quite freely.

Meanwhile, the Affordable Care Act replacement backed by Trump (and dubbed "Trumpcare" by Democrats) has hit numerous snags in its short life. Many high-profile GOP politicians have come out against it, as have most conservative institutions and media outlets.

Regardless, Trump tweeted this week, "Our wonderful new Healthcare Bill is now out for review and negotiation. ObamaCare is a complete and total disaster - is imploding fast!"
