Even when Trump makes sense, killing Obamacare doesn't

Donald Trump last week posted an item on Truth Social that broke new ground for incoherence. What got his fingers fumbling on the keyboard was Joe Biden’s being out in the country warning Americans that another presidential term for Trump would cost them their health care.

Trump wrote, “I’m not running to terminate the ACA, AS CROOKED JOE BUDEN DISINFORMATES AND MISINFORMATES ALL THE TIME,” adding that he would make Obamacare “MUCH BETTER, STRONGER, AND FAR LESS EXPENSIVE.”

That’s what Trump said during the 2016 presidential campaign, albeit employing a better organized train of thought. He vowed to repeal and replace Obamacare with “something terrific.”

He got elected without ever having to share details of a plan. And once elected, he tried to bulldoze the Affordable Care Act, first by removing bolts from the system for funding it. Then in 2017, he worked with congressional Republicans on a bill that would have left an additional 22 million Americans uninsured by 2026 and end protections for people with preexisting conditions.

Unfortunately, the editorial doesn't define when Trump makes sense.
