Donald Trump tried to sidestep giving a policy position on health care, and walked straight off of a rhetorical cliff.
During the presidential debate Tuesday night, Trump struggled to answer a question about his healthcare plan, accidentally revealing that he didn’t have one at all.
After his particularly lackluster response criticizing Obamacare but giving no alternatives, ABC moderate Linsey Davis asked Trump outright if he knew what he was talking about. “Yes or no, you still do not have a plan?” she said.
“I have concepts of a plan,” Trump replied. “I’m not president right now.”
“I’m not president right now.”
Neither is she, dumbass.
MF was pres for 4 years and we’re still joking about “infrastructure week”.
Moreover the entire republican party has been screeching “repeal and replace” and not once put up a plan or alternative to ACA.
They are all mentally bankrupt.
*Morally bankrupt
These aren’t the actions of idiots, they’re the actions of a group playing a bunch of idiots. Might seem like a distinction without a difference, but it’s there.
T: “She has no plan!”
Mod: “Do you have a plan?”
T: “Oh, well I’m not president yet so of course not yet!”
Imagine thinking that’s a great way to convince people you’re the right person for the job…
“I haven’t looked into any potential solutions, but vote for me and I promise I’ll try to find time to think about it!”
If you were perpetually “two weeks away” from releasing your “beautiful” healthcare plan 6 years ago then wtf are you doing now with nothing?
Imagine thinking that’s a great way to convince people you’re the right person for the job…
Worse, imagine how stupid you’d have to be to actually be convinced that he’s the right person for the job. And then despair, because half the voters are that fucking stupid.
Given that the MAGA talking point for the last few weeks has been “but KaMaLa DoEsNt HaVe AnY pOliCies!!!”, I legitimately expected that they would have at least prepped him on some kind of policy response. Alas, the floor was wiped with an orange mop.
Nah, there was never a plan. That’s the whole idea. Remember he was president. He tried to kill ACA without a replacement, always promising a replacement is coming before during and now after his 4 years.
He’s been saying he has a plan for almost a decade without ever providing anything.
I swear microplastics or lead have mentally disabled like 40% of the global adult population. Too many people remember nothing.

He said he was gonna build a wall that Mexico would pay for, but weeks after he lost in 2020 every dipshit was talking about the huge border again.
That one kills me. They elected a guy who promised to “Build the wall”. I had a neighbor who was in construction and was bragging about how much wall they were building.
Then Trump gets fired and they’re back to “our borders are wide open!” Wtf people? I thought you built a wall.
An coworker at my previous job was parroting the border crisis about 6 months ago. I snarkingly mentioned the orange turd’s wall and then he hits back
“But Biden welded doors open in certain parts. So fighting age men from China and Middle East are just walking in”
I sat back and was kiiinda dumbfounded, didn’t look it up because he’s one of those “I ReAd BoTh SiDeS” people who claims they’re the most well informed. I immediately dismissed his statement when an even more blatant right-wing knob-slobber repeates the exact same “fighting age men” comment
He doesn’t need a plan. Half the voters don’t care if he has a plan. Plans are for Democrats.
Projection. They have no policies, ergo accuse the other side of having no policies.
The plan is no plan. tear it all down and let the peasants fend for themselves. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
Naw the system protects assholes like trump.
Tearing it all down would give us peasants too much power.
Just saying “The System” absolves the ones abusing it of blame
It does? Interesting.
Do go on. How does recognizing that the government/infrastructure and such exists, and referring to that absolve anyone of anything?
Also… it’s not being abused. It’s designed to function this way. Which is why those “abusers” won’t tear it down and start over.

Like I said, because you’re assigning the blame to The System instead of the people in it. Sometimes the system is set up in a way which harms people. Most of the time the people in the system are misusing it or ignoring protections that it stipulates to harm people. By always blaming The System only, you are ignoring the harm that these people in particular are causing and are misattributing the blame to other factors.
If the people are bad, the system will produce bad outcomes. It is easier to change the system than to change the people, but they still deserve blame.
No one remembers when he was president and he said “who knew how complicated healthcare is!”
He’s never had a plan, other than how to get more money.
It’s taken him 8 years to form concepts. 🤣
For someone who lies all the time, you’d think he could come up with a better one than, “I forgot my homework, but I promise I did the outline!”
That this orange turd is even in the running as a president is heart breaking for this country.
The fact that this orange turd has a chance of actually winning, and how close it is, shows how broken the country is.
At the end of the debate he accused her of having 4 years in the White House to do the things she said in her closing arguments, and why hadn’t she done them already? Yet he has a “concept” of a health care plan AND he claimed earlier he had so much proof that he won the 2020 election. So, Fat Donnie, where is all the fucking proof you have? And why is your lazy con man ass not providing us with a health care plan, or any other plan? It’s because you are nothing more than a traitor, rapist, criminal, child molesting, con man liar.
She’s had 4 years as VP. He’s had 4 years AS PRESIDENT. And he only has the concept of a plan. He’s fucking been there and his remarks are all about her not doing things when she wasn’t even in that role.
I was so mad she didn’t get to respond to that, it would have been the perfect ending to make a point and to potentially energize people to vote.
GIVE HER A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS AND SHE CAN!
The whole goddamn reason they can’t do what they want to is because we have a Republican lead House.
