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.”

    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 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?”
