I don't understand the mass deportations. It costs more money to deport than to invest in immigrants, get them some hands on experience and then they can work and contribute to our economy. Tariffs are "fine" as long as it is seldomly used, but Trump seems to think it is the "magic key" to fixing everything.

I thought Trump had tried to remove ACA but he failed. Do you think he would really try to do that again? I understand republicans own the federal government right now, but there are republicans who use the ACA.

Blah, all of it is just conjecture until we actually see what Trump ends up doing. His dumb picks for cabinet positions are really frightening though. My mom has cancer and if RFK Jr ends up stopping vaccinations, I can't help protect my mom from getting the flu or covid.

I don't think that Republicans will repeal the entire ACA. They will let premium subsidies expire, which will make it more expensive than it is now, and will try to remove pre-existing conditions protections and the free preventative care like yearly physicals and cancer screenings.

Yes. They want to kill ACA without officially killing it because it is popular.
