    I could see him randomly announcing it on Truth Social at 4:30am and then retracting it within 24 hours when his health insurance CEO buddies get ahold of him

    It would be called healthcare, but it would function identically to the penalty for not having health insurance imposed by the Obama administration.

    I do know all the libs in my life seem to think Medicare for All is likely to happen in the next 2 years. I’ve been absolutely dumbfounded every time. Just full-on confused and speechless that they seem to think my health insurance situation is on the cusp of improving. We live in different worlds, I guess

      Use that. Agree and say the Democrats should put a M4A bill on Trump’s desk and force him to veto it. Then ask them if they’ll change what they think of Democrats if they don’t even try.

    if trump hasn’t lost his wits (extremely debatable), he will goad them by saying he will veto it, and then do a fast one, such a legacy

    (and he could (as in trump the human), his clan isn’t that deep into pharma or healthcare, they don’t give a shit about debt either, it’s the dems who are knee deep in this stuff, trump corruption is more about glitzy gulf arabs/assorted bribes/oil minerals, and he could make himself popular again, which he might care about, wits pending)

    As fucking if!

    He would agree to do it BUT you would pay for it and it would be the same as if you didn’t have healthcare, you’d still have to pay for everything, but at least Trump would be able to steal even more of your money, oh sorry “somewhat legally” appropriate it for better purposes, right MAGAts.

    “Anyone sincerely think Democracts can trick the old man into doing [something the Democrats don’t actually want to do]?”

    Nope.

    no chance, the health care industry is too profitable. anyone around for the 2016 and 2020 cycle should realize due to the media and institutional response to the idea then that capital will do anything to stop this

    If the dems can actually get it to Trump’s desk, would be worth it.

    Probably won’t happen, but it really is a win/win if they pull it off. If he vetoes it, just as bad for republicans as signing it, but it probably won’t ever get there.

    Trump himself might go for it, but all the ghouls surrounding him would stop it pretty quick

    Trump could get every Republican on board with this and Dems would still stop it

    They say it couldn’t be done. No president has ever been able to do it. But I’m gonna do it because Trumpcare is much much better than Obamacare. Why have a middlemen between you and your doctor? So many middlemen! Expensive and stupid. Plus - classy. You get a gold card with my name on it.

    I stole some of my joke from Twitter.

      It’s going to be care and for patriots, I’m talking about people that LOVE america, folks, like no one has ever seen. People come up to me all the time, they do, they go “oh oh Mr. President are we going to take care of the patriots?” and I say YES yes we are with a golden card, it’s gold, they let you do that when you’re president, make the card gold. The DUMOCRATS won’t do it, they’re too weak, like sleepy Joe and OBAMNA, not me, I’m strong like that, built different, and you all know that. trump-anguish
