Trump

[TWR]

Is he going to fall flat on his face? it seem everything that he tries to change it backfires, yesterday Obama's Health Issue.

Serve him right. I have family in the U.S. and listening to them moan about Trump, it can only be a matter of time before he and his useless policies are dumped.

[Hopkirk]

I doubt he is use to people saying no to him.

However I don't think he's a quitter so I expect he will serve one term then someone else will have to clear up the mess.

[emmie]

can't seem him quitting, one term and that will be him done. lets hope the damage he can still do is not too much for the American people..

[naomi24]

I don't know if he will fall flat on his face, but I think he's trying to do what he promised to do. Not something that can be said of everyone in politics.

that's my guess too, Hopkirk. Each defeat encourages the opposition (who in this case are the extremists in his own party). Sooner or later he's going to be tired of being seen as a loser. But I don't see any way he can be forcibly removed, expecially now that molesting women and being pals with Russia seem no longer to be obstacles to office.

he's trying to do what he promised to do

up to a point. He claimed to have "given his all" to get the act passed, but it turned out that in the course of this he'd actually made several trips to his holiday home in Florida and played a lot of golf. He may now appreciate that in Washington his "all" has to be a lot better than that. Obama spent years preparing his health legislation. Trump thought he could do it just by snapping his fingers.

TWR....quite a good thread already going on this topic :::

However....he has already fallen flat on his face. His travel bans for Muslims entering the US have been a unmitigated disaster, and now this debacle over his replacement for Obama Care.

Its his complete lack of experience in politics that is causing this, That and his arrogance of course.

It was obvious to most people that this would happen.

jno at 15:40, I hadn't heard that - but so what? He's trying to do what he said he would do.

[mikey4444]

jon has made a very good point here. It did indeed take Obama a lot of time to formulate his proposals and yet Trump rushed his plans in, after a few weeks.

I suspect he was keen to try and do something right, after all his other blunders, but the truth is that he didn't do his homework properly.For his own Party not to support his own Bill was clumsy and arrogant in the extreme.

you don't get points for trying, especially when your party controls Congress as well so that you don't have strong political opposition to overcome (as Obama did). You might get some points for trying seriously hard; but he didn't, by political standards. As Hopkirk suggests, he acted like a tycoon who thinks he can just order things done while on the links, and it blew up in his face.

Remarkably, he's blamed the Democrats - the minority party. What he really failed to do was convince his own party. Sure, getting Republicans to agree on anything is difficult these days. None the less, that's his job.

[mikey4444]

jno....I think there is a much serious problem here.

Trump ended up as the Republican candidate, because the Party stabbed each other in the back, until he was the only one left standing......he won despite of his Party, not because of it. Nobody wanted him but by then, they had no other choice.

The fault for this lies entirely at the feet of the Party...they have made their bed, now let them lie on it.

If I posted half the embarrassing, ill-informed nonsense that some people on this site post, I'd ask my carer to remove my internet access.

jon is as well informed as you are. It's not Trump's plan, it's Ryan's and he's had years to work on it. If you bothered reading links, that don't suit your narrative, you'd be aware of that and stop making a fool of yourself.

[jno]

presidents seldom draft acts in their own handwriting, surprisingly enough. But if they endorse one it becomes their plan. Had it passed, the headlines would not have said "Ryan plan triumphs"

[Samjenko]

It sure would,
