Remember when Trump said he doesn't want to release the Epstein files?
This is how Trump operates. He takes the position opposite to the one he wants. Then he allows his opponents to "beat him" on the issue.
In this case, the thing WE need to do is to loudly proclaim our disagreement with Trump on this issue, and bring forward facts and evidence and most importantly -- persuade EVERYONE to get on the right side of this issue so that Trump is "forced" to acquiesce.

Trust the plan! See he DOESN'T want to support israel so he just gives them billions and billions. He DOESN'T support war with Iran, so he attacks Iran. He DOESN'T support Hillary, Biden or Obama, that's why he doesn't have them arrested.
> you just don't understand Trump and his politics
Yes, just like campaigning to drain the swamp, then not prosecuting the swamp, in particular Hillary Clinton. Trumps 5D chess now has them all rotting in prison. I love this timeline!

That's how parliamentary democracy works. They pretend to be in two factions in competition with each other, but in reality they agree what issues each faction should take and agree on losing, so that they can then alternate to give the NPCs the feeling that an alternative is possible.
In fact, if democracy was real, a party would win all the votes by simply proposing two things:
1) closed borders
2) universal healthcare
Right wing voters care more about 1 than left wing voters, and viceversa for 2.
The reason why the US medical system is so horrible is because the government got involved. Once the government started writing checks, things got way worse. Things were bad before obamacare but I guarantee you everyone alive in the US today would prefer to go back to the previous system because of how bad it is now.
America is a third world country.
Any civilized country provides healthcare to all its citizens; it may not be great, but it is a safety net. In Europe private healthcare also exists for those who want to pay for better healthcare.
What Americans cannot grasp is that national healthcare means that *the government builds and runs hospitals as non-profit organizations*, with the hospital providing services and charging the government only for what those services actually cost.
The Democrats in America on the other hand want to do something absolutely retarded: they want the government to pay money to the for-profit hospitals or to insurance companies. Even a fucking communist would understand that this cannot work because the hospitals or insurance companies would charge whatever they want.
In fact, the American government spends more for healthcare than all European governments, per capita. Look it up.
I had NO IDEA the H1B problem was as big as it is. I had no idea that there were other visas people were getting. I had NO IDEA that indians were lying about their nationality to cheat the system. I had an inkling that there were diploma mills but I had NO IDEA how prevalent the problem was even in the Western world.
Trump exposed all this just by flipping on the issue. The people who were passionate about it flipped a lid and now they are flipping the script in public opinion.

He's followed this pattern so many times...
Oh, right. 5D chess. 🙄

Socialism performed by the government NEVER works.
