Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price really did not want to talk about President Trump's tweeting habits when he appeared on NBC's Meet the Press Sunday.
Price repeatedly deflected host Chuck Todd's inquiries about Trump's attacks on the media on Twitter, insisting his own focus is on "the job that [Trump has] given me, and that is to make certain that we fulfill the mission of the Department of Health and Human Services, which is to improve the health, safety, and well-being of the American people."
