Obamacare. Tapper cites the interview with Leslie Stahl, and focuses on the preexisting conditions aspect. Tapper wants to know where the 25 billion dollars to pay for preexisting conditions is to come from (Tapper, you moron, it comes from the people in one form or another - either taxes or insurance premiums). Ryan points to bettergov.gop (or better.gop), No. 5 for details.
Tapper is fixated on Obamacare, what about Medicaid? What about birth control at no cost to the consumer? Ryan says the legislation hasn't been drafted yet. Trump is going to perpetrate a warn on women.
Next question is on the border, deportation, etc. CNN plays a old clip of Trump, rather than the clip where he lays out his deportation priorities. Ryan says securing the border is top priority.
Tapper invokes the popular vote as a signal that the public is not really in favor of Trump's proposed policies. Ryan says Trump overperformed, and should not be underestimated. Trump aims to help Americans, grow the economy, etc.
Tapper says you are not mentioning, and he understands why, is the difference between Ryan and Trump on trade, specifically tariffs on imports. Ryan says see #6 on betterway.gop, which is a better way to encourage companies to situate in the US, which is mostly tax code. Tapper wants to know what Ryan will do if Trump proposes tariffs. Ryan says they will discuss, in particular tax reform making America more competitive.
Tapper says many conservatives are concerned about Trump's use of Steve Bannon, as mainstreaming white supremacist and racist views. Do you have any concerns about Bannon being in the Trump administration? Ryan has no concerns, does not know Bannon, but trusts Trump's judgment. Trump is successful, surrounds himself with capable people.
Tapper, with a straight and serious face, insists that Trump is surrounding himself with racists. Tapper is a disgrace to humanity.
Tapper next puts Giuliani on the hot seat.
First question is on the potential conflict of interest between the presidency and Trump businesses. Tapper suggests that Trump industries should be transferred to a blind trust. Rudy says that would essentially put Trump's children out of work.
Jake Tapper, the dumbest political talk show host on the planet.
MSM elite attempting to drive policy again. LOL
I’m willing to pay to sterilize everyone on welfare, has kids on welfare, or are rioting.
Maybe Trump should wrap a Global Charitable Initiative around his business empire.
Trump could buy the CGI, on the cheap
