The guy's a f'ing idiot. Surely someone at the WH has plugged various numbers in the ACA calculator to see results.
It's insane: Earn under salary cap, you can get policies as low as $0/mo.
Go over, and lowest-cost policies are in the $2,000 to $3,000/mo range for a couple, depending on age.

A health care executive collapsed in the Oval Office during a press briefing today. After peering briefly at those giving aid, our very stable genius assumed his customary put-upon pose.
The man who collapsed is reportedly doing OK. Trump, not so much.

Damn. Looks like I grabbed a bogus photo from Wikimedia Commons. There are an unbelievable number of variations, many of which are apparently conception drawings and not the real thing.

Will update.

From Trump's favorite newspaper, the New York Post, under the headline, "Dow plunges over 950 points after Trump calls Fed’s Powell ‘a major loser’ for not lowering rates."

If there are any congressional staffers here, maybe they can help us out: Is this posted anywhere in the Capitol? Maybe outside House Speaker Mike Johnson's office?
