Trump Second Term Agenda

Where is Trumpcare?

160,000,000 people already covered by private health care.
The rest are covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and MediCal.


There were 159 million with employer-based coverage, 84 million with other coverage, and 30 million uninsured. Of the 159 million with employer-based coverage, many are in self-funded health plans - about 60% in 2017.

Pelosi is one of the few politicians in American history who's ever gotten massive coverage expansions through the House.

Trump wasn't interested getting "insurance for everybody," his agenda is to take it away from tens of millions of people.

Sure, he's a megalomaniac. :lamo :lamo

At least it is a platform. Right now Biden doesn't have a platform beyond Orange Man Bad.

His tweets are his platform...;) Pretty ironic stuff supposedly written by Basement Biden whose goal is to rise above all the pettiness with the goal of uniting the country.
 
He failed on his 1st term agenda. Who cares if he has a 2nd term agenda. He's never going to do anything again, anyways.

Mexico paying for the southwest-border wall. Every rational person knew Mexico wasn’t going to pay for a wall it didn’t want. Trump insisted he could get Mexico to pay billions for the wall indirectly, through reduced foreign aid or some kind of adjustment in the trade balance between the two countries. But none of that has happened, and Trump hasn’t said much about Mexico’s contribution to the wall since 2019.


Repealing Obamacare. Eliminating the Affordable Care Act was a key plank of Trump’s pitch to voters in 2016. But the Republican-controlled Congress tried and failed to kill the law in 2017. Republicans have never had a replacement plan ready to go, suggesting the repeal chorus was mostly symbolic.

Paying down the federal debt. Try not to laugh, but in 2016 Trump said he’d eliminate the national debt in 8 years.

Four percent economic growth. As a candidate in 2016, Trump assailed his predecessor Barack Obama’s handling of the economy and said he’d boost growth from the mid 2% range to 4% or better.

Releasing his tax returns. In 2014, Trump said that if he ever decided to run for president, he’d release his tax returns, as every other major presidential candidate has done since the 1970s.
5 campaign promises Trump has given up on

Incompetence will never be able to achieve anything.

Yeah, his platform is to defeat Trump. How's he going to do that? Become the reincarnate of Dorian Gray and take him behind the stadium and beat the **** out of him? ;)

Biden and democrats cannot condemn the Marxist movement they started. That would make them appear to be hypocritical. That would alienate a huge chunk of their base. That might inspire democrat rioters and looters to come to their houses and neighborhoods to slash and burn. Here is the underlying narrative of the anti-American Marxist leftists that Joe Biden doesn't dare condemn, proving he support the narrative:

Seattle councilwoman: We “will not stop” until we overthrow capitalism | Disrn

"We are coming for you and your rotten system," Sawant warned. "We are coming to dismantle this deeply oppressive, racist, sexist, violent, utterly bankrupt system of capitalism, this police state. We cannot and will not stop until we overthrow it and replace it with a world based instead on solidarity, genuine democracy, and equality: a socialist world."

A Seattle council woman? WTF can she accomplish?
And how does she speak for Biden. Wow. Way off base. You have no proof.

“We’re going to have insurance for everybody,” Trump said in an interview with The Washington Post. “There was a philosophy in some circles that if you can’t pay for it, you don’t get it. That’s not going to happen with us.”

And you know exactly how the election will turn out because you hate Trump so much, Biden just has to win.

I asked for specific Biden policies that were socialism and you respond with rhetoric and a quote from a Seattle Councilwoman (who isn’t Joe Biden.) She doesn’t speak for Biden, no more than that Qanon woman who was bounced from speaking at the RNC for anti Semitic tweets speaks for Trump.

She verbalizes what other democrats also believe and support and Biden does not speak out against such treasonous rhetoric, making him a silent partner in the criminal movement.

Trump has condemned such rhetoric coming from radicals in the democrat party. Biden has failed to condemn the treasonous rhetoric. That make Biden a silent supporter of the anti-American treasonous democrat trash talk.

Obedient Christians are aware that sinners sin and if there is to be any Christian influence in politics then Christians are going to have to vote for sinners who are the most sympathetic to Christian values, like Trump has done. Democrat politicians are also plagued with divorce and sexual perversion but it is not to their political advantage to focus on the sins of their own. I think adultery is bad, but that random sex with same sex partners of any age is also bad and should be equally and openly condemned by all those interested in sexual purity in politics.

No matter how often, no matter his lies, the WAPO and NY Times never called Obama on his lying.

The Massive Lies Of Past Presidents Make Trump Look Honest | The Heritage Foundation

Is Donald Trump the most pathological liar of the modern presidency? The Washington Post thinks so, reporting that Trump made 3,251 “false or misleading claims” during his first 497 days in office. That’s an average of more than 6.5 “falsehoods” a day. The New York Times agrees, providing what it called a definitive list of “outright lies” during the president’s first 10 months that amounted to a daily public “lie” for the first 40 days of his presidency.

Trump’s “narcissistic lies,” wrote a George Mason University professor of government, vastly exceed the lies of previous presidents — striking “at the very heart of democracy.” According to an in-depth Politico article, Trump is not just a liar, he’s the prince of liars, combining Richard Nixon’s compulsion to lie, Joseph McCarthy’s cynicism, and Ronald Reagan’s disregard for the facts.

But economics is not the whole story. Trump is doing what he said he would do during the campaign — cut taxes, appoint originalists to the Supreme Court, eliminate needless government regulations, push to build a wall along our southern border, substitute fair trade for so-called free trade, strengthen our armed forces. All the while he engages in what he calls “truthful hyperbole,” like his insistence that “we are the highest taxed country in the world.” According to the Tax Policy Center, taxes on personal income and business profits made up 49 percent of U.S. tax revenue in 2015, significantly higher than the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development average of 34 percent.

What the media rarely include in their assessment of Trump’s truthfulness is that all presidents lie. In fact, since John F. Kennedy, every president has lied about far more serious things than Trump’s embellishments about his wealth, his girlfriends of decades ago or the size of his inaugural crowd.

Trump bragged on a damned bus to one person on the Bus. And he said the women let you grab them by the crotches. Do you blame the women at all or is it fine for them to let men grab their crotches?

There is nothing at all in the Constitution declaring presidents can't grab crotches or Kennedy, Johnson and Clinton for sure would have been kicked out of office.

I have never seen you post accurately on any topic. Why?
I said nothing about who is going to win.

The post of mine was 5 things tRUMP failed to deliver on.
But you deflected, because you know he failed and can't handle his failure. Actually, I bet you don't care he doesn't follow through on his promises.

What a stupid correlation.
tRUMP hasn't condemned police injustice in the country. So he supports killing of black men according to your logic.
