@Raymond Johansen. Like lying to us telling us we could keep our doctors and our health insurance plan. As soon as he implemented Obama care, I had to switch to another plan. They didn't offer mine any longer because of Obamacare rules. Then I find out that I can't keep the doctor I've had for 25 yrs. Then I was on a quest to find another doctor and it took me six months to get in. Even when I declared another doctor, every time I needed an appointment it took at least two months to get in. Then the premiums skyrocketed. I went from having to pay $800 a month to $1800 over the course of two years. Not only that buy my deductible raised from $500 to $3,000. I nearly had to declare bankruptcy.

[@davidsmith5704]

I also know of no one who lost their coverage or doctor. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Well that’s how anecdotal evidence goes anyway. If the worst thing he’s ever done as a President is say you can keep your doctor, which was true until insurance companies started to shift their plans, I’ll take it. At the current rate, we’re getting lied to every 1.3 seconds. Smh

That's why Trump hates Obama. Trump will NEVER be loved, admired or respected by the majority of the American people or the world. When he expires, I doubt many will care. Trump does NOT deserve to be called Sir or President. He deserves to be called Donald.

Amelia Wojnicz you just made me realize that Obama will probably outlive Trump, given that I’m pretty sure he’s younger and he’s CERTAINLY in much better health.

This country will never come together, as long as they're divided within our government... The government leads by example and whether that example is good, bad or indifferent, the American people will follow... It's impossible to resolve any issue this country has, when the country's split down the middle, every single election... Think about it, if within our government, they're always blaming the opposing parties and either past or current president, then so are the American people... Here you have a government, who's supposed to have our best interests in mind at all times, yet they never take responsibility and they're always blaming the opposing parties, past and current president's, they're always adding fuel to the fire and they stir the pot every chance they get.. It's just common sense, how could we ever Unite, if this is how they act within our own government and not to mention they've implemented A system that works against the American people. What, do you think the American people are just going to get on Facebook one day and say hey, let's disregard what the government does and unite. That will never happen, now if somebody can come along and Rally the American people, earning their trust, showing them that their government is incredibly corrupt and that there's a hundred better ways to run this country, where every American benefits in a positive way, then we might Unite... There's no reason every single American couldn't be living middle class at the very least, no one should live paycheck-to-paycheck, nobody should go hungry, nobody should be sacrificing their life short or not getting Medical Care, because of insurance or they couldn't make a first payment on their medical bill, everyone should have a roof over their head and shoes on their feet, that should be automatic.. Instead, we only know one way, what the government says, why do you think they always give you two options for President and at the same time, encourage you to vote Republican or Democrat, because no matter who you choose, we lose and they win..You can't make a difference voting red or blue, the only way voting works, is if everybody gets on the same page and we write in our own candidate, who will go in and actually make a difference for us, the American people.. The American people are voting for the Lesser evil 100% of the time, it just depends on what party you're affiliated with... Everything I'm saying is indisputable and provable Beyond A Reasonable Doubt... I mean we the people appoint the government, to watch us, protect us, guide us, lead us and to always have our best interest in mind, excetera... So if this is the case, why would they devise and Implement a system that works against us??

@@nishidas4120 someone not liking somebody else because of their skin color, has nothing to do with that persons skin color.. For instance, a cop doesn't pull another person over because he's, so called black.... It has nothing to do with that person's skin color and everything to do with the cop himself... We know skin color is learned or taught and technically is a complete illusion... It basically all comes down to the exact same thing, people who LACK certain TRAITS tend to HATE themselves WITHIN, for instance, if someone is not strong willed, mature, patient or thoughtful, loyal, reliable and caring and at the same time they lack courage, confidence, love and understanding, then throw in a very low self-esteem on top of it and you have a recipe for hate... When people don't wanna understand or recognize, why it is they hate themselves, they'll seek out others who are similar and these people will use skin color, religion, etc, as their excuse to hate... It's not the skin color though, religion, ethnic background or gender, that's the excuse... You see, 90% of the time, people will bully, get mad, or put the other person down, because that someone has something in which the other one lacks.... So let's say hypothetically I was someone who lacked all those traits I mentioned earlier and I saw somebody else who had all the traits that I lacked, I would try to bring them down to my level, anyway I could and then use skin color, religion or whatever it is, as the excuse of why I did it, because I'm not going to tell them about all the traits I lack and how weak minded I am because of it, so I make up an excuse, like it's their skin color or sexual preference, religion, excetera... You seem like a smart kid and I don't know how old you are or what grade you're in, but if you're still in school, ask your history or government teacher, how the American people are supposed to make a difference by voting, if the government's divided within themselves... Tell your teacher we follow the government's lead, because we trust in what they say and do... Tell him if the government's divided within themselves, between Democrat and Republican, then so are the American people, tell him that the American people are voting for the Lesser evil 100% of the time, just depends on what party they're affiliated with... Finally, ask him why a government, who's of, for and by the people, would encourage us to vote and on top of it, encourage us to vote Republican or Democrat, if you can't make a difference voting Republican or Democrat, why the hell would they encourage us to do it? He'll be speechless to say the least.. It all boils down to this, we follow the government's lead, because we trust what they do, we the people appointed the government to watch over us, lead us, guide us, protect us excetera, so why would they Implement a system that works against us??
