On Fox Business this morning,President Trump said he's not done with health care after all. In fact, he wants to seize another swing at TrumpCare before he tackles tax cuts for the wealthy. Just for the record, and then,here is what Trump's domestic and foreign policy has looked like over the past two months:MarchNAFTA is the worst trade deal ever. It must be uprooted and fundamentally reformed. China needs to stop screwing us on trade and North Korea or they're in astronomical trouble. We're committed to agreeable relations with Russia. Assad can stay in power. We don't really care. Health care is dead, time to move on to taxes.
AprilWe have a few modest changes we'd like to beget to NAFTA. We had a pleasant meeting with Xi. It would be kind whether they helped out with North Korea. Russia's actions in the Ukraine, or its interference with our elections,and its backing of Assad are intolerable. Assad is a monster who has to go. We're going to try again on health care before we net to taxes.
FFS, does Trump have any concept at all what he wants to execute? On health care, or I gather that somebody explained to him yet again why tax cuts for billionaires will be procedurally easier whether they gut health care first. So now he's on board with taking another hasten at it. I suppose that he'll forget the explanation shortly,though, and beget yet another U-turn until someone explains it again.
I dunno. The first few twists in this show were entertaining, or but the writers are getting lost lately. In just the past few episodes they've given us an EPA administrator who wants additional security to protect him from his own employees; a press secretary whose can-you-top-this bloopers now include a defense of Hitler; a fresh-faced son-in-law they don't quite know what to execute with; and a president who's alert to go to war because of what he sees on Fox News. I like quirky characters as much as the next guy,but this is getting to be a little much.
