Today in Trump Stupid on Twitter:

The Democrat Governor.of Minnesota said “The Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) is no longer affordable!” – And, it is lousy healthcare.

Democratic Governor. Democrat is the noun, Democratic is the adjective.

But that’s not the stupid. The stupid is “And, it is lousy healthcare.” It’s not healthcare at all you imbecile! It’s a system for distributing and financing healthcare, it’s not healthcare itself. College loans are not “lousy education” because they’re not education at all, they’re a (bad) system for distributing and financing higher education.

Plus of course there’s the fact that health care was not affordable before the ACA and it won’t be affordable after Trump and the Republicans trash it.

Other than that, right on the money.

    Don’t Republicans call it the Democrat Party as a snub? But yes…

    Acolyte – it would appear so, yes.

    If you can’t reduce foreign or domestic policy to 140 characters, forget it.

    How is it even a snub? It sounds simply, willfully, aggressively ignorant, though I suppose it also signals membership in the American political right. (Those two features may not be accidentally conjoined.)
