I was keeping a Trump Diary, and a couple weeks ago I misplaced it and I can't find it anywhere. I don't want to believe that some of the Trump minions broke in and stole it but it is mysterious. Maybe I've been watching too much of The Americans.
So to incapsulate, The Republicans have offered a horrible Health Care plan to repeal Obamacare with. But many of the right Republicans could not support it because it did things they have vowed never to do. For instance they have vowed to protect pre-existing conditions, and their bills have tossed that out. So even Republicans couldn't support it. But then Trump blamed it all on the Democrats who didn't support it.
Now it has been very slightly tweaked and offered again, and once again was shot down.
As Trump hit the Hundred day mark, and had accomplished virtually nothing except for his Supreme Court nominee (who got in by McConnell destroying the system permanently), and yet Trump has the audacity to brag that he has had the most productive first 100 ever. Apparently he's never heard of Franklin Roosevelt of Barrack Obama. Anyway, it was maybe the worst 100 days ever.
First off, he declared the the first 100 days was a "ridiculous standard." Very foretelling. He accomplished virtually nothing. And as much as he blames it on Democrats it's also the thinking Republicans.
People care about their health care. Obamacare has it's flaws. Mostly the young and healthy have chosen to take their chances. And when only the old and elderly sign up, the premiums have to go up. If all young people signed up, all of the insurance companies would be in serious competition and the premiums would be incredibly cheap. Trump-Care has learned nothing and is counting on the same things that won't come true.
Today Trump announced that a good shutdown of the government might be a good thing. Wha....? The inexperience glares all over the place.
I wish this was ten days before the midterms. But it's not. We may have to endure this for about 22 more months and maybe the structure of the House will change a little. The Senate too.
I'm going to publish this now that out of sheer fear of the public outcry, the mysterious forces that be, sneak back in and return my Trump Diary.
