Donald Trump tried to sidestep giving a policy position on health care, and walked straight off of a rhetorical cliff.
During the presidential debate Tuesday night, Trump struggled to answer a question about his healthcare plan, accidentally revealing that he didn’t have one at all.
After his particularly lackluster response criticizing Obamacare but giving no alternatives, ABC moderate Linsey Davis asked Trump outright if he knew what he was talking about. “Yes or no, you still do not have a plan?” she said.
“I have concepts of a plan,” Trump replied. “I’m not president right now.”
Given that the MAGA talking point for the last few weeks has been “but KaMaLa DoEsNt HaVe AnY pOliCies!!!”, I legitimately expected that they would have at least prepped him on some kind of policy response. Alas, the floor was wiped with an orange mop.
Nah, there was never a plan. That’s the whole idea. Remember he was president. He tried to kill ACA without a replacement, always promising a replacement is coming before during and now after his 4 years.
He’s been saying he has a plan for almost a decade without ever providing anything.
I swear microplastics or lead have mentally disabled like 40% of the global adult population. Too many people remember nothing.
He’s been saying he has a plan for almost a decade without ever providing anything.
He said he was gonna build a wall that Mexico would pay for, but weeks after he lost in 2020 every dipshit was talking about the huge border again.
The plan is no plan. tear it all down and let the peasants fend for themselves. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
Naw the system protects assholes like trump.
Tearing it all down would give us peasants too much power.
It does? Interesting.
Do go on. How does recognizing that the government/infrastructure and such exists, and referring to that absolve anyone of anything?
Also… it’s not being abused. It’s designed to function this way. Which is why those “abusers” won’t tear it down and start over.
It’s taken him 8 years to form concepts. 🤣
No one remembers when he was president and he said “who knew how complicated healthcare is!”
He’s never had a plan, other than how to get more money.
My favorite is John Oliver’s response:
“I’m not president right now.”
Neither is she, dumbass.
T: “She has no plan!”
Mod: “Do you have a plan?”
T: “Oh, well I’m not president yet so of course not yet!”
Imagine thinking that’s a great way to convince people you’re the right person for the job…
“I haven’t looked into any potential solutions, but vote for me and I promise I’ll try to find time to think about it!”
If you were perpetually “two weeks away” from releasing your “beautiful” healthcare plan 6 years ago then wtf are you doing now with nothing?
MF was pres for 4 years and we’re still joking about “infrastructure week”.
Moreover the entire republican party has been screeching “repeal and replace” and not once put up a plan or alternative to ACA.
They are all mentally bankrupt.
*Morally bankrupt
These aren’t the actions of idiots, they’re the actions of a group playing a bunch of idiots. Might seem like a distinction without a difference, but it’s there.
