Despite vow, Trump's 'exciting' new health care pl
Post# of 123700
Two weeks ago, Trump vowed to "sign" a "full and complete health care plan" by today. So, where is it?
Two weeks ago today, Donald Trump sat down with Fox News' Chris Wallace in the White House Rose Garden, and the host asked about the president's ongoing efforts to destroy the Affordable Care Act, which would strip benefits from tens of millions of families. The president replied that he still intends to "replace" the ACA.
"Well, we haven't had. Excuse me. You heard me yesterday. We're signing a health care plan within two weeks, a full and complete health care plan that the Supreme Court decision on DACA gave me the right to do.... he decision by the Supreme Court on DACA allows me to do things on immigration, on health care, on other things that we've never done before. And you're going to find it to be a very exciting two weeks."
TWO WEEKS IS UP!!!!!
The Republican has an unnerving habit of responding to every difficult question by saying the answer was "two weeks" away. At the heart of the line was a lazy political strategy: Trump hoped that people, over the course of 14 days, would simply forget what he'd promised.
Unfortunately, that habit never really went away.
