At the risk of sounding naive...

At the risk of sounding naive what kind of man runs for president on the promise he will provide something as vital as health care to everyone regardless of their ability to pay for it and then turns around and supports a bill that does nothing of the sort?

How depraved can one be ?


For a man for whom mendacity is his calling card that was Trump's most malignant lie.

1. So many lies.

I resent the one where he told coal miners he'd bring the jobs back.

Hillary told them the truth and they hated her for it.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. I usually can put myself in somebody's else shoes.

I could never put myself in the shoes of a Trump voter.

[Salviati]

4. I mean I don't think it's impossible to put oneself in their mindset...

... It just involves an icepick and a self administered lobotomy.

[thbobby]

6. A welcomed laugh

When I was reading the replies, after the one about their mindset but before reading yours, I thought easy just get a lobotomy. Then I read yours and have been laughing since.
Nice that sane people with IQ's above 19 (mine is 20) see what a clusterfuck idiot pussygrabber is.

[0rganism]

7. so you're saying it's a one-way journey?

i'm no expert on icepicks or lobotomies, but i can't imagine a way back

[Heartstrings]

3. Calling all our news sources "fake news"

except for Fox, irritates the hell out of me but plays so well to his deplorable base!

Fake president!

Resist!

[WinkyDink]

5. The unmasked face of the Republican Party.

8. It's possible that Trump is too stupid to realize what the Republican bill does.

He religiously assumes that anything Obama did was bad, so undoing that has to be a good thing, right?

He isn't curious enough, or concerned enough, to actually do the work needed to craft a real solution. So he leaves it up to Congress, assuming that they know what they are doing.

And when the individual health insurance market goes into a death spiral, he'll be the first to blame someone else. Preferably Obama, but McConnell and Ryan will do in a pinch.

11. He cannot read.

If he can read, he is unable to comprehend what he is reading. He leaves that to the folks at fox spews to tell him what the bill says. But, the bill does not say what they say it does; they tell the idiot what they believe it says. And he, of course, runs with that. He has no idea what is true and what is false, but accepts the false from his right-wing base. Facts are meaningless to him and almost all the current group of republicans.

9. At the risk of sounding obvious..,

...how depraved? Trump-depraved!

[gordianot]

10. Question is when does Trump tell the truth?

An alien concept.

[grantcart]

12. He wasn't running for President, he was running to enhance his brand and then sell

crap to the 45% that voted for him and make the billions that he pretended he had.

This was proven when he won he immediately fired Christie from the transition team and put in Pence.

The man who prosecuted his son in law's father was never going to have any real influence and that is why they gave him a job they thought would have no importance.

13. You cannot be a member of the cult, unless....

...unless you are willing to accept the lies.

The healthcare lie is despicable.

[Buns_of_Fire]

14. "Sell the sizzle, not the steak"

He's a snake-oil salesman. That's all he is; that's all he'll ever be.

But when Dr. Feelgood's Magic Elixir wagon pulls into town, there are always people willing to buy a bottle or two or three.

[raven mad]

15. The same kind of "manchild" who doesn't believe he'll get caught,

and gets supremely pissed off when it happens.
