The next time you find yourself in a sweaty panic over the possibility that Donald Trump will become president again, recall that he has the political instincts of a drunk raccoon with its head stuck in a Pringles can.
Saturday marks the 14th anniversary of the ACA, also known as Obamacare. And the Biden administration—which has made several significant, under-the-radar moves to improve Americans’ access to health care under the law—hasn’t been shy about clueing people into the threat that Donald Trump poses to their continued well-being.
Trump may have the political instincts of a drunk raccoon with its head stuck in a Pringles can, but he’s still competitive in general election polling—largely because not nearly enough Americans have watched his recent rallies, during which he does an uncannily accurate impression of Adolf Hitler trying to find his car in a Costco parking lot. They also haven’t heard all his policy prescriptions, which include imposing inflation-boosting tariffs, possibly invading Mexico, replacing competent civil servants with an army of clueless toadies, and repealing the Affordable Care Act.
Yes, you read that right. Trump wants to repeal the now very popular medical lifeline from which tens of millions of Americans currently get their health insurance and replace it with … whatever he comes up with in the next two weeks.
