Insane framing! What fixes?
All he's done is do what he always does. Claim he's addressing things & throw random nonsense at the wall with no actual plans.
With Moses Johnson shielding him from the Epstein files. Where in Politico's universe is Trump emerging as "anxious" to fix anything?

Trump insists the GOP won the affordability battle.
His sudden flurry of fixes says otherwise.

Trump’s affordability push is speaking louder than his words
In the wake of last week’s bruising off-year elections, the president has announced a bevy of policies that may ease the pressure on household budgets.

So Trump was vociferously booed yesterday. You could see it got his attention in the clips.
Today, he gets a cushy interview with the ever horrifying Laura I, and a ceremony in the Oval where he's lauded in creepy obscene speeches.
His $$$ycophants reassuring him. 🙄 Pathetic.

Insurance operates via risk pools to smooth out the cost of providing coverage. An individual "negotiating" with an insurance company will be assumed to be high risk, and premiums will be astronomically high. The reason why the marketplaces exist is to create risk pools that smooth out premium costs

Again, every year the wingnut "libertarian" survivalist nutjobs throw this nonsense out there.
Convincing themselves they have some sort of mandate, uh, they most certainly do not.
But, tantrums are much easier than legislating via ideas I spose.

Seriously, for their own good, Dems who voted for this need to not be saying “we did a good thing, this is why.”
The line needs to be “we fought like hell to get healthcare back, but Donald Trump was willing to burn the country to the ground.”

This is not the first time we've seen federal agents direct chemical agents indiscriminately at members of the public in Chicago. Not at people attacking them or even protestors, just people going on with their day.
