Yes, I am aware that he wrote that. I am also aware of his 60 Minutes interview on Sept 27, 2015:
Donald Trump: Obamacareâs going to be repealed and replaced. Obamacare is a disaster if you look at whatâs going on with premiums where theyâre up 40, 50, 55 percent.
Scott Pelley: How do you fix it?
Donald Trump: Thereâs many different ways, by the way. Everybodyâs got to be covered. This is an un-Republican thing for me to say because a lot of times they say, âNo, no, the lower 25 percent that canât afford private. Butââ
Scott Pelley: Universal health care.
Donald Trump: I am going to take care of everybody. I donât care if it costs me votes or not. Everybodyâs going to be taken care of much better than theyâre taken care of now.
Scott Pelley: The uninsured person is going to be taken care of. How? How?
Donald Trump: Theyâre going to be taken care of. I would make a deal with existing hospitals to take care of people. And, you know what, if this is probablyâ
Scott Pelley: Make a deal? Who pays for it?
Donald Trump: âthe governmentâs gonna pay for it.
This is one of hundreds of times Trump has discussed big government healthcare solutions, including nationalized healthcare when he thought Obamacare didn’t go far enough. The fact that he writes one thing and says something different (recently, I might add) again calls into question his judgement. So which is it? What he wrote in his book or what he recently said in a sit down interview on 60 Minutes? Was it what he said before he wrote that particular book? There were no gotcha questions in the interview. No straight answers without being prodded, either.
He was for before he was against it before he was before it. Where have I heard that before?
Donald Trump is an American and a patriot. I don’t, however, like his chameleon political positions nor do I like his advocacy of liberal positions on many other topics.
Nobody is perfect and Trump is 100% on EVERYTHING that is important; strengthening the military, pro-gun, lower taxes, no COMMIE CORE, no damned PC, protecting America and Americans from our enemies, build the wall, and on and on and on!
