Trump when told the biggest losers under 'Trumpcare' would be his own voters: 'Oh, I know'

President Donald Trump nodded in agreement during a Wednesday interview with Fox News' Tucker Carlson when told the American Health Care Act, the bill to repeal and replace Obamacare, would cause the most damage to people who voted for him in November.
During the interview, Carlson mentioned an analysis by Bloomberg that showed that counties that voted more heavily for Trump in the election would see their tax credits to purchase insurance fall dramatically and likely see the number of people without insurance increase.
"Oh, I know. I know," Trump responded. "It's very preliminary, Tucker."
According to the analysis, people in counties that voted for Trump would see $6.6 billion in annual tax cuts, while people living in counties that supported Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton would get a tax break of $21.9 billion.
Additionally, since the AHCA's tax credits would be flat totals based on age instead of income and cost of living, some states would see a sharper decrease in their average premiums.

Trump appears to be dumb enough that he won't even lie about it. Does it even count as a farce anymore if you're completely open about it?
if its preliminary then why are you insisting the repeal bill gets passed exactly as it is without any change?
answer, because your a fucking idiot.
The people who voted for him are too dumb to give a shit that it affects them. Besides, they'll just blame Obama to make themselves feel better anyway.
I think trump would be more successful if he realized words actually matter and you can't bullshit forever

As long as those gosh-darned liburls are also affected negatively by it, they will happily accept any negative fallout out of pure spite for left-leaning people.

He's president of the US, the only more powerful positions are PM of Russia, Pres of china, and CEO of Google and Apple

Shit, the bill already got passed? I must not have noticed. We're really just fucked in that case.

Apparently you haven't either. Half my family is still blaming Obama for shit.
I guess not all republicans are the same then.

Cool, good to know that your family is representative of all Republicans. Case closed! Republicans are morons!

Guy said a Republican, singular. He didn't say, "you haven't taken an accurate poll of the entire Republican party."

He was using his experiences with his family as an indicator of how Republicans feel as a whole. He was answering more than just the direct question asked.
"I have; my family is Republican" would've been a sufficient answer. He added more.

I never said they were representative of all Republicans. But to say "you've never talked to a Republican in 10 years" makes it sound like one is implying no Republicans act like this.

How was I using that as an indicator of Republicans as whole? I just said half my family still blames Obama for shit. Not "every republican I've ever met thinks this way"
[QUOTE=geel9;51972613]He was answering more than just the direct question asked.[/QUOTE]
There was no direct question asked, he just posted a shitpost that was implying the people he quoted have never spoken to an actual Republican.
