After Trump’s Spectacular Health Care Disaster Where Does He Go Next?
Read Time:1 Minute, 14 Second
With the failed American Health Care Act now in his rearview mirror, here are three areas Trump might address next:
- Tax reform. Trump and Paul Ryan have said their next priority will be tax reform, though it may be just as difficult for Republicans to reach agreement on that issue as it was on healthcare, CNBC reports. Politico reports the GOP had been counting on an ObamaCare repeal to fund their tax plans, and they may now have to settle for tax cuts instead of sweeping reforms to the tax code. Ryan admitted Friday that the healthcare failure made tax reform more difficult, but not impossible.
- Healthcare. Trump now says he will let ObamaCare “explode” before tackling healthcare again. “ObamaCare will explode and we will all get together and piece together a great healthcare plan for THE PEOPLE. Do not worry!” Trump tweeted Saturday. The Washington Post reports that the Trump administration has choices to make it the coming months that could either reshape the law or undermine it.
- Travel ban. The lawsuits are ongoing: The AP reports that the Trump administration scored a victory on Friday when a federal judge in Virginia ruled against a Muslim civil rights group that sued to block his latest travel ban. The judge told the the Council on American-Islamic Relations that the ban is within the limits of Trump’s authority. Trump’s executive order has already been blocked by judges in Hawaii and Maryland. The administration is appealing those decisions.

LOL. Not really but your point is well taken. Hey, speaking of which, rumor has it that the Trumpers don’t share a bedroom, even when they are living together, which is rare indeed.
Hey, I’m not sharing a room with my husband either. Not because I don’t like him but because he has been snoring lately and it’s really damn loud and I am not getting much sleep due to it. If he goes to bed before me, one of us sleeps in another bedroom. That would be him because I am not giving up our bed 🙂
