Video of former President Donald Trump vowing to terminate the Affordable Care Act (ACA) went viral on social media on Friday after he reversed his position on the issue last month.
Trump, the presumed 2024 GOP presidential nominee, is set to face off against President Joe Biden later this year in a likely rematch of the 2020 election, as each candidate has won enough delegates to secure their party’s presidential nomination.
Trump has repeatedly vowed to repeal the ACA, which was developed under former President Barack Obama and is more commonly known as “Obamacare,” since launching his political career with a successful 2016 presidential bid. He attempted to kill the program shortly after taking office, but was blocked by Republicans who resisted the move in the Senate.
However, in a late March Truth Social post, Trump seemingly reversed his position by endorsing the ACA, while promising to keep the program in place, but make it “much, much, much better” during a potential second term.
In general, it’s usually a good thing and indicates they’re responding to new information rather than digging in with entrenched beliefs based on outdated information.
However, with this guy, he just says whatever he thinks will make the ratings go up. He also lies and bullshits with impunity, and that’s when he knows what he’s saying at all.

I don’t know why it’s just occurring to me now but he’s the crypto currency of presidential candidates. Say or do anything, so long as line goes up.
