Donald Trump has started talking again about scrapping Obamacare, and MSNBC's Joe Scarborough mocked him for going out of his way to pick the wrong side of an issue.
President Joe Biden's campaign is already planning television ads highlighting the former president's threats to health insurance coverage for millions of Americans, and the "Morning Joe" host said Trump's longstanding grudge against Barack Obama has come back to bite him again.
"For a decade, they talked about repealing and replace," Scarborough said. "They've never once — think about this. If you want to talk about a party that is intellectually bankrupt, they've never had an alternative to the Affordable Care Act, never had an alternative, never one put out there that the party got behind. That's just the opposite when, in the 1990s, there was a debate about the Clintons and health care. Hillary Clinton was a champion of universal health care, Republicans came out and had about five, six different plans that they were debating, Democrats had their own alternatives — there was actually a real debate."
"You know, one of the bigger problems right now for Donald Trump is, again, you know, you've got to — it's like a boxer past his prime," Scarborough added. "He thinks he is running against Barack Obama. He thinks that we may enter World War II soon. I can't figure out whether he is in 2011 or 1941, the summer of '41, but he's now talking about repealing the Affordable Care Act again. I think, yeah, his aides need to explain to him, we're in 2023, about to get into 2024. The Kaiser Foundation took the most recent poll I've seen, showing something like 55 percent, 56 percent of Americans support the Affordable Care Act. Those who oppose it are in the low 40s. This has become an extremely popular law on the books and, once again, Donald Trump going back in time with his wayback machine, picking the wrong side on yet another issue."
