Donald Trump and President Biden are scheduled for their first presidential debate on June 27.
  • Former President Donald Trump recognized that the price of insulin is lower under President Joe Biden but still tried to take credit for it.
  • Trump has lagged Biden on the issue of health care in recent voter surveys.
  • Trump spent much of his term trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which covers roughly 45 million Americans, without offering an alternative health-care option.

    So when proven wrong

    Where was I proven wrong?

    trump did this, Biden paused it for years, and now people are giving Biden credit and saying trump never did it…

    Moderate Dems have been acting like trumpets since 2016, but I never thought we’d get to this level of reality denial.

    Which is why I mentioned WB buying CNN and their openly announced plan for it.

    I didn’t think they could, but look at this shit

      Per your own comments others comments, and the damn article, Trump didn’t do this. Trump took the easy way out and signed an EO. An EO that could be overturned or paused at any time. Biden did the hard work and got a law passed. Laws can’t just be overturned, in fact Jefferson was in favor of a 19 year sunset term on every law that wasn’t part of The Constitution, because laws are so hard to repeal he called it the tyranny of dead generations.

      Maybe try to live up to your username, and pay attention when multiple people spell out for you your erroneous feelings with the actual facts?

        Cool, so far you’re good

        But why did Biden pause it for years, then codify it (apparently, I keep being told Biden has nothing to do with that so stop asking him to).

        We don’t even get into why if he did this, he can’t do anything else.

        Why did he pause probably the only good thing trump did to codify it? Why was that one of Biden’s first acts?

        Why not let Trump’s EO ride until it was passed by law?

        Like, you just said:

        An EO that could be overturned or paused at any time.

        But why did Biden have to pause that almost immediately after assuming office?

          The Biden administration paused all the EOs that Trump signed, not just this one, though it may have been limited to the last year in office. They did so because Trump signed so many EOs in the last few months, that there is absolutely no way that he read them, and someone needed to do so. This one just happened to get caught up in that, and the Biden administration decided to make it so that this one would be permanent. I’m unsure how much Biden himself would have been involved in such decisions.

            So…

            Your defense of Biden is that he didn’t evaluate anything, just undid Trump’s executive actions?

            I’m no sure, do you know if he did that with Trump’s human right violations at our border too? Or did he let that ride?

            that there is absolutely no way that he read them, and someone needed to do so.

            But your excuse for Biden pausing it for years… Was he just did it to all (or some, you’re not sure) of Trump’s executive actions?

            So which is it?

            Did Biden know what this was before pausing it?

            If he did, why did he pause it?

            I’m just looking for some logical consistency, but all I seem to get is insults, and you’re being civil so I really hope you can explain it.
