Donald Trump tried to sidestep giving a policy position on health care, and walked straight off of a rhetorical cliff.
During the presidential debate Tuesday night, Trump struggled to answer a question about his healthcare plan, accidentally revealing that he didn’t have one at all.
After his particularly lackluster response criticizing Obamacare but giving no alternatives, ABC moderate Linsey Davis asked Trump outright if he knew what he was talking about. “Yes or no, you still do not have a plan?” she said.
“I have concepts of a plan,” Trump replied. “I’m not president right now.”
Gee, if people had just realized he has no idea what he’s doing 8+ years ago we all would’ve been better off.
I distinctly remember that being a selling point of his first campaign.
He was advertised as a Washington outsider, who had no connections and would drain the swamp.
And now it’s vote for the senile felon.
He just needs two more weeks, then we’ll have the most beautiful plan this country has ever seen.
Had concepts of a plan for how to prepare for this debate
At the end of the debate he accused her of having 4 years in the White House to do the things she said in her closing arguments, and why hadn’t she done them already? Yet he has a “concept” of a health care plan AND he claimed earlier he had so much proof that he won the 2020 election. So, Fat Donnie, where is all the fucking proof you have? And why is your lazy con man ass not providing us with a health care plan, or any other plan? It’s because you are nothing more than a traitor, rapist, criminal, child molesting, con man liar.
She’s had 4 years as VP. He’s had 4 years AS PRESIDENT. And he only has the concept of a plan. He’s fucking been there and his remarks are all about her not doing things when she wasn’t even in that role.
Exactly, he’s a hypocrite con man.
I was so mad she didn’t get to respond to that, it would have been the perfect ending to make a point and to potentially energize people to vote.
GIVE HER A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS AND SHE CAN!
The whole goddamn reason they can’t do what they want to is because we have a Republican lead House.
We need to win all 3 to be able to have nice things again.
“I’ll reveal my beautiful, beautiful healthcare plan for the millions and billions of Americans in two weeks… right after the crooked IRS finishes up my perfect audit.” ~tRump
It will be the best audit, like you’ve never seen before. Probably the best audit in the world.
Do you have the down payment to purchase this home?
We have the concept of a down payment.
I am going to print this out and hand it out to everyone I know

Its like when you fail a dialogue check in disco elysium, except this guy was president and not a hungover party cop
“I’m not president right now.”
Neither is she, dumbass.
MF was pres for 4 years and we’re still joking about “infrastructure week”.
Moreover the entire republican party has been screeching “repeal and replace” and not once put up a plan or alternative to ACA.
They are all mentally bankrupt.
*Morally bankrupt
These aren’t the actions of idiots, they’re the actions of a group playing a bunch of idiots. Might seem like a distinction without a difference, but it’s there.
Exactly.
This is all going according to some plan.
Capitalism seeks to optimize the use of resources.
Things are not optimized for you, they are optimized for the people that made the plan.
They are all mentally defective.
T: “She has no plan!”
Mod: “Do you have a plan?”
T: “Oh, well I’m not president yet so of course not yet!”
Imagine thinking that’s a great way to convince people you’re the right person for the job…
“I haven’t looked into any potential solutions, but vote for me and I promise I’ll try to find time to think about it!”
If you were perpetually “two weeks away” from releasing your “beautiful” healthcare plan 6 years ago then wtf are you doing now with nothing?
everytime he’s out golfing he’s conceptualizing a plan.
Imagine thinking that’s a great way to convince people you’re the right person for the job…
Worse, imagine how stupid you’d have to be to actually be convinced that he’s the right person for the job. And then despair, because half the voters are that fucking stupid.
His plan is project 2025 which he can’t say when he’s tried claiming he has nothing to do with it. But project 2025 has healthcare changes
Honestly I suspect he was vaguely aware of it, vaguely on board with it but once he was informed of how unpopular it was he started distancing himself
Edit: I don’t think he saw how unpopular it was, I think he was correctly informed of that by his campaign staff
It’s taken him 8 years to form concepts. 🤣
For someone who lies all the time, you’d think he could come up with a better one than, “I forgot my homework, but I promise I did the outline!”
It’s nice to see that at least some people have finally figured that out.
It’s depressing it took this long, though.
Give me a raise first, then I’ll do my job ahhh reply
Given that the MAGA talking point for the last few weeks has been “but KaMaLa DoEsNt HaVe AnY pOliCies!!!”, I legitimately expected that they would have at least prepped him on some kind of policy response. Alas, the floor was wiped with an orange mop.
He doesn’t need a plan. Half the voters don’t care if he has a plan. Plans are for Democrats.
Nah, there was never a plan. That’s the whole idea. Remember he was president. He tried to kill ACA without a replacement, always promising a replacement is coming before during and now after his 4 years.
He’s been saying he has a plan for almost a decade without ever providing anything.
I swear microplastics or lead have mentally disabled like 40% of the global adult population. Too many people remember nothing.
He’s been saying he has a plan for almost a decade without ever providing anything.
He said he was gonna build a wall that Mexico would pay for, but weeks after he lost in 2020 every dipshit was talking about the huge border again.
That one kills me. They elected a guy who promised to “Build the wall”. I had a neighbor who was in construction and was bragging about how much wall they were building.
Then Trump gets fired and they’re back to “our borders are wide open!” Wtf people? I thought you built a wall.
An coworker at my previous job was parroting the border crisis about 6 months ago. I snarkingly mentioned the orange turd’s wall and then he hits back
“But Biden welded doors open in certain parts. So fighting age men from China and Middle East are just walking in”
I sat back and was kiiinda dumbfounded, didn’t look it up because he’s one of those “I ReAd BoTh SiDeS” people who claims they’re the most well informed. I immediately dismissed his statement when an even more blatant right-wing knob-slobber repeates the exact same “fighting age men” comment
Imo that literally should be the only response to trump and his followers in any situation for any answer:
“Where is ya wall Donny? 4 years and no wall?”
Also why did he pardon Steve Bannon for his “We Build the Wall” scam?
Projection. They have no policies, ergo accuse the other side of having no policies.
