How to use faulty in a sentence?

  1. Donald Trump:

    I had a decision to make. Do we do a good job with Obamacare -- a remnant of Obamacare ? Or do we do a bad job ? If I do a bad job, well there you can blame Obama and the Democrats.

And I told our great secretary( of Health and Human Services) Alex Azar,' Don't do a good job. Do a great job.'.
