On 60 Minutes Last Night, Leslie Stahl Showed Us Trump's Healthcare Plan

After Kayleigh MAGAninny gave her a huge, thick book that purported to contain that health plan, Stahl opened it, revealing that it was just thousands of blank pages. See the video here, on Twitter.

The blank page looks like the normal "intentionally left blank" page you often find.

and smoothed the wrinkles out from pages in the trash cans and bound it.

That's pretty much how the tRump admin handles everything.

not a healthcare plan - it was a very heavy book and she probably was hoping Stahl couldn't lift it!

Nobody could ever read it they said --blah, blah, blah........

so I guess they thought they could baffle 60 minutes with a big stack of blank paper.

Yet another reason to be disgusted with Trump. The guy belongs in a prison cell sitting on a stainless steel toilet, and not in the Oval Office, sitting at the Resolute Desk.

By now to mask their bullshit gimmicks. But they are not even smart enough to do that to obfuscate the question for the time being.
