In a new interview, Trump reveals he has no idea what?s going on with Obamacare - Vox

In a puzzling interview with Maggie Haberman and Margot Sanger-Katz of the New York Times, Donald Trump weighed-in on the legislative mechanics of repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act in a way that appeared to reveal that he has no idea what’s going on.

Republicans are currently debating whether they should repeal the law right away and promise people that an unspecified replacement will emerge at an unspecified future time, or else wait and try to agree on a replacement that moves in tandem with repeal.

Trump’s answer is to reject both options. He’s now saying Republicans should repeal and replace nearly simultaneously, but without taking any time to craft the replacement:

Mr. Trump, who seemed unclear about the timing of already scheduled votes in Congress this week, demanded a repeal vote “probably some time next week,” and said “the replace will be very quickly or simultaneously, very shortly thereafter.”
How shortly thereafter? Well, when asked, he said, “Long to me would be weeks … it won’t be repeal and then two years later go in with another plan.”

The problem here is that the Republican Party currently has no consensus on just what the replacement should be, and it’s very difficult to see them arriving at such a consensus before February 1 — unless they somehow ram through a quickly-crafted replacement that would massively restructure the health care sector with hardly any deliberation, with potentially catastrophic consequences.

The GOP’s realistic options are either to delay the entire repeal process until they have a replacement in mind (which could take months) or else they can do repeal next week and leave Americans eager to find out what, if anything, the “terrific” alternative they’ve been promised turns out to amount to. Trump’s alternative idea is totally unworkable.

This guy is totally clueless about the ACA and the issues surrounding repeal and replace.

I figured the GOP would fail spectacularly over the next four years, but I didnt really expect they'd set themselves up for spectacular fail in the next four months! Or weeks!

Edit: Update... apparently Trump will unveil a sekrit plan soon. And present it to Congress on a platter. I'm sure it will be facepalmable. Today in Obamacare: Congress thought it would write Obamacare?s replacement. Trump has other ideas. - Vox

I'm sure they'll come up with a plan in a couple weeks that will be 'terrific', because they had eight years and couldnt get any replacement plan articulated, debated, or voted upon.

What a clownshow.
 
:roll:
 
That's right OP. You are being unfair.
You can't and shouldn't expect a reality tv celebrity to understand basic policy initiatives that his supporters also fail to understand, despite their rabid criticism of these same policies.

Trump is a man of the people. He is "the people". He thinks the same thoughts as "the people" and actually says them, no matter his level of understanding.
Just like many of... "the people"!
 
Typical politician BS of change. It is always easier to complain about something than actually know how to do it better.



It is like the annual bitching and moaning about our city snow plow drivers. They never give these guys credit and everyone knows how to do it better.

Coming up, another demonstration of intellectuel flexibility and semantic gymnastics by the usual cadre of athletic Trumpanzees.

I do believe it was predicted that the GOP was going to fail spectacularly in the elections as well.

When you find out the terrific sekrit plan that will cover more and cost less, let us know.

Don't need one.

When you figure out why your candidate lost.. let us know.

They haven't left themselves any choice. Now the real farce begins.
