    Trump Threatens GOP Lawmakers: Pass Trumpcare or Else I Will "Come After You"

    Source: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/21/u...ald-trump.html

    Trump is so in-all on Trumpcare that he is making serious threats. He is very ANGRY and desperate to break all of his healthcare promises, kick 24M people off of insurance, make insurance cover less, make the old and sick pay more, and massively raise out-of-pocket costs.

    How do The Deploreables feel about this?

    Enjoy being conned.

    Lol! True. He says a lot of things silly things at times. I think he is learning, being POTUS is not like owning his company.

    Ok. If the government can't cut anything at all, how are they going to get out of debt? I'm curious. They have to cut spending on SOMETHING. There's going to be outcry no matter what the government does to cut spending and get America out of debt. If you could choose, what would you choose to take America out of debt? Remember, they're TRILLIONS in debt.

    Mentally unfit. I'm glad some people are waking up to realize the fact.

    On the flip side: 99.9% of politicians break their promises. The guy is a fucking lunatic nonetheless.

    I would cut the overbloated Military Budget, Even more so since Trump wants to add more to it.

    The healthcare of your citizens shouldn't even be a though about cutting.

    So with North Korea testing nukes seemingly weekly, and ISIS being more influential than ever you think now is the best time to cut military spending?

    We don't need to spend more then the next 10 country's combined. Also NK isn't even close to being a thread and ISIS (and groups alike) have been around forever.

    If you think spending a extra 550 billion is going to get rid of ether, I got a sea side house in Kentucky to sell you.

    Not sure if you're trolling but will just leave those two links here.

    But you know what the real problem is, all of those Trump voters who thought he would just cut programs that ''helped the others'' (you know black and brown people). This attitude is so disgusting and naive, do these people think that their are programs that only apply to people depending on the colour of their skin?

    The core issue in an economic sense is that you don't actually save money by reducing insurance coverage, because someone is still going to have to foot the bill when a guy in abject poverty has a heart attack and goes through a half hour surgical procedure with multiple specialists followed by a few days of bed rest. Regular doctor checkups and normal maintanance medication is less expensive than that bomb shell that ultimately is going to come from tax payers because letting hospitals go out of business really isn't an option. Cutting spending on something that loses you more money in the long run is not a sound strategy for saving money.

    Well, I'm not going to disagree with you.

    Trump did say he wants to "defeat isis", a statement which makes no fucking sense whatsoever. How does one defeat an ideology, exactly? Fucking muppet...

    They could build a new wall between the US and Mexico. That will cost over $2 trillion, according to a (mainly) satirical piece I saw the other day. Or they could massively increase defence spending.

    Both of those are great, really great, the best kind of ideas that Trump has for reducing the debt.

    Oh, wait.

    Still, lets cut a bunch of things that actually benefit normal American people. Because who needs those, right?

    How many hundreds of billions of dollars do you think need to be poured into the military to "make the United States safe?"

    In order for the government to pay off expenditures, it needs to have income. In addition to cutting things costing tax payers tens of billions of dollars with little to no return (like building useless walls or buying military hardware to sit out in the desert) you also have to bring in money. And the only way the government can make money is via taxation. Seeing as we know trickle down economics is a farce, raising taxes on the rich is a pretty simple solution.

    Totally fake topic. Trump never said he was coming after them. He said they will lose their seat meaning that they will be voted out of office by all the people who voted Trump in to repeal Obamacare.

    Wait, so if every group has an ideology behind it it's pointless to try to defeat it? That makes it all so much easier now. We can just let nazis go considering that it's an ideology and all of that.

    What you do is that you go in, kill a bunch of people who support those ideas, most likely end up causing a lot of casualties and destroying the area. After that when groups spawn from the decaying corpse of ISIS they will obviously be smaller. At that point you go in and kill a bunch of guys and repeat the whole thing, except this can now be handled by local forces a lot easier.

    Since we're talking about the US they might just end up signing up some of those "moderate rebels" to help with their cause but that's neither here nor there.

    Now sure, if your standard of defeat is "Everyone who sympathizes with X or supports X, in part or fully, is deported from existence and no other such people can ever exist" then yes, you can't defeat anything. But as a more pragmatic person the standard lowers to a reasonable end where the initial problem is reduced to nothing more than corpses and small offshoot groups which hold nowhere near the same influence as the original.

    For the 1%; this "healthcare plan" is just a tax break disguise. Anyone that isn't a total moron knows this by now (I'm hoping).

    I've read a few articles on the subject. I honestly get the feeling that Trump meant to say "vote for this, or you will be voted out in 2018" but his narcissim...narcism...narcististic?...fuck pre-coffee spelling, his ego got in the way. He had to make it about himself, again, even though he didn't really want to.

    Trump has nearly nothing he can threaten the GOP with. The bills they want to send his way, he wants to sign anyhow. He's immature, but he won't refuse those out of spite. He also has to know, by now, that he can't just unilaterally side with Putin and expect Congress to accept it. And he's mostly working via E.O.'s anyhow, which hit issues with the courts, not Congress. So the best weapon he seems to have would be refusing to endorse them in 2018. And based on his current poll numbers -- back UP to 39% -- that's not a great weapon anymore.

    More influential than ever? Trump assured me that they'd be completely gone in 30 days, so I can only assume that you're lying.
