Americans are realizing the emperor is naked, and that his private parts are not very impressive
the moment is finally upon us when the American people have become wise to the con. This is the worst moment for any conman, and Trump knows this, so the lies are becoming more fanciful, more divorced from reality as he gropes into what is fast becoming a very empty bag of tricks.
First example: the healthcare plan that doesn’t exist.
Thursday’s announcement was billed as “President Trump’s Healthcare Vision for America” but contained no tangible action. Trump has long promised a “beautiful” and “phenomenal” healthcare plan that provides everyone with better coverage for a lower cost, but his administration never unveiled any comprehensive reform plan, even as it was trying to overturn the Affordable Care Act.
Both key planks of Trump’s healthcare vision Thursday essentially boil down to directing Congress — which has repeatedly failed to repeal Obamacare or offer a consensus replacement plan — to figure it out.
The Republican Party spent seven years attempting to repeal the Affordable Care Act, coyly referring to their efforts as “replace and repeal” to calm the nerves of those millions who they planned to cut adrift from all healthcare coverage if they were to succeed. But there never was a replacement plan. Because Republicans don’t do policy, they never bothered to put in the work to provide something even remotely palatable as an alternative to the ACA. Ultimately, that’s one of the reasons they failed.
