I disagree over which side that is. There’s no question that MFA would be disruptive, and in the short-term, it might led to some economic perturbations, but what happens over time is that the market absorbs the changes. The problem is that most people in DC probably don’t have the stomach to deal with the disruption in the private healthcare market that would take place in the short term. ---

Dotard has tweeted 25 times in the last hour, lending credence to my theory that the increased tweeting indicates a WH staff which would prefer he yell at his phone instead of them. ---

> [@Fair\_Rarity](#): > > The MAGA people are losing their shit too. Turning against FOX, not Trump. They’re talking about switching to OANN and how FOX is in Paul Ryan’s pocket and he’s a RINO, a Democrat shill. It’s stunning in its derangement. A few days after Trump tweeted about his dissatisfaction with Fox and touted OANN, I saw Trumpsters on Facebook wondering what Fox’s agenda had become and how they were becoming as fake as CNN, MSNBC, etc, and how OANN was now one of the only sources to get “the truth”. > [@raventhief](#): > > I made the mistake of reading some of the MAGAts’ comments on his tweets about let the Turks/Kurds fight and how he is using economic force to bring world peace- my god, people are posting supportive, “love you Mr president” fawning insanity. > Why did I do that? I’ve perused through some of the comments on Trump’s twitter feed on occasion and noticed that also. I wonder how many are real, and I’m sure many are, but how many might be faked to boost Trump’s ego? Didn’t he need a twice-daily briefing with press clippings and screenshots from sources saying how great and presidential he is? And, didn’t he throw a hissy fit when Twitter deleted a ton of his follower accounts that were fake. With Trump’s fragile ego, it’s still about ratings and crowd/follower size. ---

Don’t forget that Trump thinks Article II gives him the absolute right to do anything he wants.
