It would be nice to realize that he has duped the right people and Trojan Horsed the Republican Party. I still have my reservations, because otherwise he is still the consummate Capitalist.

We shall see.

The secret is all in what is not said. Like "Make america great again" actually means "for robber barons", when he says healthcare for everyone he means "for the presidential appointees."

Have you read his book, The Art of the Deal?
Neither have I, but I expect Trump to bring together the insurance and pharmaceutical companies and make them low ball offers. Have some faith, after all a great nation must have healthy people.

You believe the big lie of that book, that Trump has 'art' in any sense.

the ghostwriter Tony Schwartz told that lie, and regrets it. See this New Yorker piece: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/20...iter-tells-all

I was being sarcastic and besides, Trump is a highly accomplished con artist.

Trump, Twitter and the Art of His Deal

Part of the peculiarity of Mr. Trump’s tweets is that he tweets like a celebrity, not a politician or a businessman. Even his handle, @realdonaldtrump, suggests his full immersion in the most basic of our celebrity culture. Though he’s preparing to assume the presidency, he tweets like a Hollywood social climber — he fans celebrity feuds with Graydon Carter (“no talent”) and Meryl Streep (“over-rated”) and posts product endorsements (“Buy L. L. Bean.”).

The problem with health care cost is that the health care industry throws money around like it grows on trees. A local hospital is offering a 100K salary, a 25K signing bonus, and a new Mustang to new nurses, in additions to running multiple full page adds daily in several local newspapers. There is also a shiny new hospital or medical clinic every 500 feet. Every doctor gets his own hospital.

Not to mention the seemingly constant in and out of doctors offices by the dolly pushing, lunch buying, vacation giving drug company reps! Who is really paying for that one we can only wonder???

How do you define awesome president - remaking America in the mold of people like you, Whell and Trump?

Awesome president? An admitted sexual predator, a serial liar and arrogant ?

That bar is set pretty low...... Some of us are more interested in higher standards than that.
