The presumptive Republican presidential nominee said during a news conference in Washington D.C. today that he disagreed with the Supreme Court ruling and vowed that, "what the Court did not do on its last day in session, I will do on my first day if elected president of the United States. And that is I will act to repeal Obamacare."
