"We've begun preparing to repeal and replace Obamacare. Obamacare is a disaster, folks. It is's disaster. I know you can say, oh, Obamacare. I mean, they fill up our alleys with people that you wonder how they get there, but they are not the Republican people our that representatives are representing."
What the hell does that mean?!

This is astonishingly inarticulate.

(3,573 posts)A bad transcription makes his awful nonsense even worse.
"They" (anyone who deigns to oppose Trump) fill up our rallies with people that you wonder how they get there... (suggesting that any protesters are "paid protesters" but they are not the Republican people that our representatives are representing (His message here is clear: "I won. Any protesters are in the minority. You're either with me or against me... and if you're against me, you are less than nothing and deserve no representation in Washington."

(24,128 posts)I'm glad you could clarify. I thought he said "alleys," too, when I listened to it. F'in gibberish! And what difference do his campaign rallies make now that he is president?

(36,823 posts)More people are actually receiving health care now due to Obamacare, but the influx of these people are causing back ups that force others (Republicans) to have to wait for services provided by health care institutions. These people are bottom-feeders who are sucking on the American teat (because, you know, those who are forced to work part time/gig jobs and/or whose companies deny them health insurance benefits are LOSERS). And, of course, they are Democrats (and by Democrats, he probably means inter-city people of color).
Some of this is very similar to the Republican talking points about Canadian healthcare.
Arsehole.
janx
(24,128 posts)perpetual campaign mode. I'm going to search the transcript to see if he mentions Hillary Clinton. He did at the recent Florida rally.
He does not seem to grasp the idea that he is supposed to represent the American people, not just those who voted for him.

janx
(24,128 posts)When he begins to talk about Obamacare, he is nonsensical again. What does this mean?
"It will be repealed and replaced. For those people. The people put into rooms where Republicans are talking about the plan, and it wouldn't matter what they say, for those people just so you understand, our plan will be much better health care at a much lower coast. Okay? Nothing to complain about. Obamacare remember, it is a disaster."
