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.
Oh yeah. I remember how he had this secret better replacement all ready and it never materialized.
It was always two weeks away from being revealed/voted on.
I remember the ghouls celebrating with beer (Bud Light, prior to their trans freakout) over the House voting to repeal.
