Killing Obamacare, Trump Style

ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, Donald J. Trump is going to kill Obamacare, for two reasons. First, because he said he would, and secondly, because Obamacare was spearheaded in its creation by Barack Hussein Obama, whose middle name, "Hussein", in the fun house world of Trump types, means that the former president is a Muslim. Oh, how our right wing crazies hate Muslims, since they consider all one point five billion of them to be terrorists, even though most terrorism on American soil is perpetrated by - right wing crazies. (see:KKK) Trump and his extreme right wing followers hate Obama to this day, and race has nothing to do with it, so they say, although most of these people spent years claiming that Obama was born in Africa, which to any sensible person raises the red, white, and blue flag of good ole fashioned conservative American racism. Objective, dispassionate experts on the economics of health insurance tell us that Obamacare is actually working quite well, with but a few rough patches which could be smoothed out by making appropriate changes. The people whose premiums have increased because of the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, are people with sufficient means to purchase health care insurance in several other places. The millions of poor people who are now insured but weren't before Obamacare are proof of the efficacy of Obama's brand of semi-socialism. First, Trump signed an executive order stopping payments to reimburse insurance companies who provide insurance to the poor under the ACA. Then, he greatly reduced the time frame in which people can sign up for health care, from twelve weeks to six. Rumor has it that the president plans to further the window from six weeks to fifteen seconds, on Halloween. Is this pernicious, or what? the president is hell bent on becoming a self fulfilling prophet: by god he said Obamacare would fail, and now he's going to make damned sure that it does, by strangling it to death. Maybe someone should remind Trump that Obama is actually half white; that might reduce Trump's hatred for the former president by about fifty percent. What will our arguably racist arguably pernicious president do next to kill health insurance for the poor? Perhaps he will oversee the injection of a computer virus into the government website on which people can sign up. Or maybe he will sabotage the website with a hacker's touch, putting a computer generated image of a dark skinned terrorist with Michelle's Obama's facial features at the bottom of the page. Be assured that it will be crafty, whatever it is, and that it will happen soon. The disdain of billionaires for the poor knows no limit.

  1. Why don't you do some research for all of your so called claims of racism in white conservatives. You have no idea what you are talking about, just spouting the usual liberal junk.
