But that was history. I’m more interested in him on the platform in Paris receiving the gold medal, singing the Star Spangled Banner. He of course has won the most medals so far.

In 2014, Trump was fervently working 24/7 non-stop to unearth the "birther" goods. Amazing that he somehow found the time (and reverse time machine) to sign this landmark legislation into law. One final observation, that he has mutated into some ungodly shade of orange since then, and has literally doubled his body mass! And what's with his hair these days??

I belong to a Disabled Veterans organization. Many of my white fellow members there are just elderly, right wing dumbasses. They think that Trump started Community Care. I doubt that the truth would convince any of them to vote Democratic but they should be called out for using this argument to vote for Trump to hide their latent racism. It needs to be spelled out. E.G., why do they believe this lie?

It's a twofer

1) Trump did NOT sign the bill into law, Obama did - a fact regularly fact checked.
2) Walz was the ranking member on this bill in the House and Bernie was the chair of the Senate committee.

They believe the lie because he has repeated it many many times ... and was fact checked ... but his people never hear (or believe) the fact check.

I belong to the same group. Most come to the monthly meeting for the free hoagies, pizza and beer dinners that are paid for by church groups and others who donate money to them. Its really pathetic that they support the party that only wants their votes and does nothing for their welfare.
President Obama signed the Community Care bill into law in 2014, two years before Trump got into the White House. Trump actually wants to cut their benefits to help pay for lower income taxes for the wealthy.

Emperor Nero participated in the Olympics of his time. (the Greeks were conquered by Rome by then) The judges of the time awarded him some laurels out of fear. Tyrants always have some kind of similiar story.
