President Donald Trump sat down with Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt and ripped Hollywood Democrats during a two-part interview that aired on Friday morning.

“I mean think of it — Hollywood came out. And in the end, we won quite easily, much, you know, by a bigger margin than anybody would have thought,” Trump told “Fox & Friends.”

The president called Hollywood big shots that support Democrats “obstructionists” and said they hurt the party because everyone should be working together.

“All they want to do is try and obstruct. I think they’d do much better, as a party, if they got along with us, if they called us and said let’s work on health care together, let’s work on tax cuts together and tax reform. Let’s work on infrastructure together. We can do it together,” Trump said.

He continued: “I honestly think they’d do better at the polls. I think the American public is tired of obstructionists. And I honestly believe that.”

The president was also asked about the four Republican senators that are not supporting his health care bill

Trump said the four holdouts are “good guys and they’re four friends of mine,” before pivoting to ripping ObamaCare.

“ObamaCare was murder for them to get. And now it failed,” Trump said. “It’s virtually out of business.  ObamaCare is a disaster. And we’re trying to do something in a very short period of time.”

Trump also doubled-down on comments he tweeted Thursday regarding some Democrats who want Nancy Pelosi to step down, saying he wants her to stick around “because our record is extraordinary against her.”

“I think that it would be a very, very sad for Republicans if she steps down,” Trump said. “I’d be very, very disappointed if she did.”
