“Trump spent a decade telling everybody who would listen how easy it was. And he ought to know, right? He’s a billionaire. Billionaires got money. Right? That makes him smarter than the professionals. Sure it does. Just ask him.
Except that simplistic view was wrong – as evidenced by Trump’s own words, even if he doesn’t have the moral courage to admit it.
And being wrong on this scale has consequences.
Trump was stunned by how difficult it was to come up with a better health care plan than Obamacare.
“Nobody knew health care could be this complicated,” he lamented.
Nobody.
But the thing is, the professionals did know. The people with the most experience knew. And they said so, over and over and over again. It was only the ignorant and the foolish and the howling mob who didn’t know. Who didn’t want to know.”
