Ink Oyd’s The Fence
It does appear the incoming president lacks many deep convictions. I suppose, if you follow through on that which got him elected… reworking trade deals and immigration restriction…
Either watered down now or made more cost effective into the big “fence“.
Health Care? No biggie.
On Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace grilled Trump’s campaign manager over Donald’s apparent flip flop on Obamacare, saying he may amend the healthcare law instead of repealing it and Kellyanne Conway replied, “We don’t know.”
Days before the election, during a speech in Philadelphia, Donald Trump said this about Obamacare, “If we don’t repeal and replace Obamacare, we will destroy American health care forever.”
Chris Wallace responded to Trump’s interview with the WSJ, where he said he’s open to keeping two signature parts of the ACA intact.
What happened appears to be that he was just coming out from speaking with Obama, who suggested that whatever Trump does… please consider keeping them. Likewise, Trump’s emphasis on infrastructure — “big time jobs” — not only harking over to “what he knows”, but it too has to be what Obama just suggested to him, echoing as it does what Obama has been saying Hillary Clinton can accomplish that he couldn’t.
Not to say too much. Mark Pence is either going to be the most powerful vice-president in the United States history, tied as such, or narrowly second – competing with Dick Cheney. But at such, any Democrat or liberal (or the UAW getting him to make do on his trade agreements) trying to influence policy would be wise to arrange a meeting, make the suggestions, and get Trump onto a television camera immediately before Pence can dump it.
