    Apparently this is what Trump considers to be making new comprehensive healthcare coverage that he thinks a Supreme Court decision about DACA gave him broad authority to do.

    He's issuing an executive order about preexisting conditions that he himself acknowledges amounts to nothing but political posturing.

    It doesn't do what Obama's healthcare plan did that Trump has sabotaged using underhanded approaches, such as reducing the personal mandate to zero as part of the corporate tax cut bill in 2017.

    He has recently petitioned the Supreme Court to completely rescind the Affordable Care Act to try to score points with his political base after three and a half years of sabotage that damaged the downtrodden to whom he appealed so much in the 2016 campaign.

    Trump is desperate in an election year where healthcare was damaged by him and stressed to the maximum by the coronavirus that he still doesn't know how to address.




    Trump: Executive order on pre-existing conditions is 'a signal'
    Trump and Republicans are vulnerable on health care issues.

    Trump: Executive order on pre-existing conditions is 'a signal'

    excerpt:

    "Meanwhile, voters rocked by the pandemic and the loss of tens of millions of jobs are increasingly supportive of strengthening the government's safety net. Missouri last week became the sixth Republican-led state to defy GOP leaders and approve Medicaid expansion for some of its poorest adults,

    What's next: Trump could take yet more actions with Congress unable to reach a deal that could help the millions of Americans who are unemployed and facing evictions.

    But Democrats are hitting Trump hard on health care in the final months of the 2020 campaign, both for his response to the pandemic and for policies like a payroll tax deferral they contend will weaken Medicare and other entitlement programs.

    Trump's tacit acknowledgment that he prospective executive order was little more than messaging could intensify Democratic efforts to portray the president and GOP as not being serious about having a fallback to the 2010 health law."

    This is classic Trump: trying cosmetically to make himself look great by trying to repair programs that he has foolishly damaged out of spite for someone else.

    Trump engaged in the healthcare sabotage as part of his revenge campaign against Obama after Obama comically roasted him at the 2011 White House Press Correspondents' Association dinner.

    My fear remains, someone with that kind of pathology isn’t just going to step-down in November after he loses.

    I’m familiar with the statistics that when abortion was illegal, white women made up the largest percentage of illegal back-alley abortions. And it’s no coincidence that Planned parenthood abortions clinics are conveniently located in and around black communities.

    But the idea that it’s black genocide is unfounded because it’s about choice, personal choice.

    Remark by Trump on August 30 about possible second round of stimulus checks to Americans:

    "It may go higher than that actually...I'd like to see it be very high because I love the people. I want the people to get it."

    That was August 30 and Congress hasn't reached any deal that would be needed to issue more stimulus checks.

    The White House as the Office of Legislative Affairs that could have been used to help negotiate a deal.

    Instead, Trump has relied on people like the recycled Hope Hicks to try to concoct cosmetic policy that makes Trump look less damaged. Trump has been forced to rely on executive action gimmicks to trick the public into thinking that he has partially solved the problems that he has created during his term.

    Trump, who thinks he knows everything better than everyone, trying to fly a helicopter.

    After crashing, he walks up to the carnage he made and attempts to make things look better by trying to rub out a scratch.

    Back-to-school and college football chaos highlight Trump's failed leadershipStephen Collinson Profile
    Analysis by Stephen Collinson, CNN
    Updated 5:56 AM ET, Tue August 11, 2020

    Trump's failed leadership highlighted by back-to-school and college football chaos - CNNPolitics

    excerpt:

    "More pillars are fast crumbling in President Donald Trump's frantic and lie-strewn attempt to convince Americans the nation is back to normal before the election, with chaos already afflicting the return to school and a rite of fall -- college football -- on the brink

    Trump's false insistence that children are "immune" from the coronavirus and can't spread it is being undermined by new figures showing that nearly 100,000 kids tested positive for the virus in the last two weeks of July. And some of the first schools that are following his calls to fully reopen are being hit by new viral outbreaks almost as soon as classes begin.

    The President, in demanding a return to class and for college football to kick off, is making education and collegiate sports the latest area of American life to be contaminated by his false narratives about the pandemic. Almost all of his assurances about the crisis -- which have tended to minimize its impact and ignore science -- have proven to be wrong."

    Tyrsonswood, why bother? He is just an example of the failure of the education system in australia.

    Yes, this is where your reeducation camp is in China. President Xi will see to your accomodations.
