In the last blog we discussed how a non-politician became President. However, can someone with no political experience actually govern. The President of the
United States is the Leader of the Free World. We are not talking about Mayor, Governor or Senator of a city or state. During the campaign, President Trump talked about his skills as a negotiator which according to him was the basis of his tremendous wealth. Those skills were put to the test immediately when Republicans
tried to repeal the Affordable Care Act or what was more commonly known as Obama Care. Their proposed legislation did not even get out of Committee and the
President could not convince enough Republicans to vote for it. Where are those
Negotiation Skills when you need them. What a joke. I believe some sane Republicans if there are any left realized that you could not repeal Obama Care without something closely resembling it. Otherwise, the Republicans would have targets on their back in the next elections. It was estimated that nearly 30-50million people would lose their healthcare coverage under the proposed repeal. Many of them had voted for President Trump. I agree that Obama Care had problems and in my opinion not very well thought out. However, gutting it without a better plan was ludicrous. The President is next trying to tackle tax reform. Let's see if his so called superior Negotiation Skills finally work. Tax reform is probably one of the hardest areas to actually reform. Too many special interest groups
