🧵2/3 It Takes #TACOTrump 2 Weeks to Do Nothing

🧵3/3 Trump Mulls Another Distraction & Favorability Boost

🧵2/3 Trump Mulls Another Distraction & Favorability Boost
Personally, I think his Military Parade making him appear impotent & weak instead of strong & controlling probably has had the most impact because, this being Trump, it's always about him & his insecurities.

Why? Why is health care dependent on employment? Poor people have a right to a public education or a lawyer to defend them in Court; just like those, healthcare should be a Right every American is entitled to. That's what every other civilized country does but us.
