Maybe it runs in the family?

During a chat on Rush Limbaugh’s radio show, a listener asked President Trump if he could clarify what he’s been saying about the GOP’s pending health care plan. She (the caller) wasn’t entirely sure that pre-existing conditions would be covered.

Here’s what the president had to say, in a Raw Story article about the Limbaugh show:

“Now pre-existing conditions, I’m totally for, but I’m against Obamacare because Obamacare is too expensive. I already got rid of the individual mandate, which is the worst part of Obamacare, that we had to pay a fortune for the privilege of not paying for bad health insurance. You understand that… I got rid of it under our tax decrease, the biggest tax decrease in the history of our country. We would have never been able to build up the economy if we didn’t get that, but one of the things I got in, I got rid of the individual mandate and what I want to do is, and we’re fighting to terminate, I sort of have terminated Obamacare, because once you get rid of the individual mandate it’s no longer Obamacare, but I had a choice to make… Do I maintain Obamacare, the remnants of Obamacare, after that the, you know, the mandate. Do I maintain it well, or do I run it badly? I could have done it either way.”

And, here, we have the president’s son, Eric Trump, “discussing his father’s recovery from Covid-19 during an appearance on ABCs ‘This Week’ on Sunday with host Jonathan Karl:

Eric Trump: Yes. Listen, that first day he got hit hard, first day Friday. And I can tell you as son, it’s never fun watching your father fly off to Walter Reed on Marine One, right? I mean, that’s something that — it’s a day that no son wants to, again, remember. It’s — that’s no fun to watch. But I’m telling you I spoke to him three times that next Saturday. The guy sounded 100%. It was amazing. It actually probably goes to speak to how good some of these vaccines that are being created are and what my father’s done on the vaccine front, no one could have done.”

ABCs Karl then asks Eric Trump: “Can you clarify that? You said your father just took a vaccine?”

Putting the Trump’s syntax aside, for the moment, what Eric Trump said about his father having taken a vaccine is interesting, since vaccine testing is underway, but nothing, as yet, has been finalized and approved. Right? Various therapeutic meds were administered to the president, maybe that’s what Eric had in mind?
