Trump’s greatest achievement

GETTING ELECTED

[GonzoII]

Elections have consequences!

Yeah, well not enough. It’s like saying your greatest achievement is having a Victoria’s Secret supermodel for a GF but you cant go “all the way” with her so it’s useless. I’m still waiting for the damn wall.

2nd: repealing Kenyan-care. That in itself is a huge accomplishment, and one that only an expert games player could have achieved.

Trump knew even the Rats wanted to repeal that Obamanation, but no one wanted to be visibly on record. So, by rescinding the mandate, everyone is happy: votes & politicians.

Now, how other than Trump would be able to correctly assess and read those desires? Who else would have crafted such a tactic, but perhaps more importantly, kept it secret until the deal had been done?

Now, everyone on both sides of the aisle have suitable cover for repeal. Without the subsidy, the insurance companies will be calling after the New year to alter the full body of the law. Everyone will get to shrug and say their hands are tied. The perfect excuse every politician loves: it's not our fault.

Only Trump, and Trump alone, had the negotiating experience and deal making skills to recognize what people wanted, and gave it to them without exposure.
