Is it the dark malevolence of Hillary or the Kenyan Muslim socialism of Obama that's to blame for Trump's utter lack of leadership ability?

It is a cabal of many things. George Soros (shhh!. Do not speak that name too loudly) and the Rothchilds keep coming up.
Now that I think about it, the Rothschilds were implicated during the last wave of fascism, as well.
Oh, right, I forgot the Dark Lord, and of course the ever-present evil of the Red Shield of Jewry.
Walter, you haven't been keeping up. The only ones in the US that get good health care are the elite, period. The most vaccinated nation in the world also has the worst health. Russian healthcare is based on phage medicine, the same kind El-lily is suppressing. Educate yourself.
Surprising Facts about United States Health Care | Meritage Medical Network
- The United States spends over $8,250 per capita on health care every year – that’s over 22% higher than the next highest country in the world and over 170% higher than the average of the highest-spending 50 countries in the world!
- In 1960, the per capita cost of health care was $147 per person in America; adjusted for inflation, it would be $1,082 today; that means our current per capita cost has grown over 660% above and beyond normal inflation.
- As a portion of the gross domestic product (GDP), health care spending accounts for 17.7 percent; the U.S. is second in the world and first among developed nations for the highest health care spending as a percentage of GDP.
- The total amount of money spent on health care each year in the United States is $2.6 trillion, and it is expected to continue rising. By 2021, spending on health care each year is expected to be $4.8 trillion.
- It is estimated that 30% (about $750 billion) of health care spending each year is wasted.
- Life expectancy in the United States is 77.4 years for men and 82.2 years for women; overall, America has the 34th highest life expectancy in the 195 countries of the world.
- The United States ranks 47th for infant mortality in the world.
- The World Health Organization has ranked the United States health care system as 37th in the world.
- America is the only wealthy, industrialized nation that does not have a universal health care system.
- About 75% of all health care dollars are spent on patients with one or more chronic conditions, many of which are preventable, such as diabetes, obesity, heart disease, lung disease, and others.
- Paying for health care is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy filing every year in the U.S. Almost 2 million people need to file bankruptcy because they cannot pay their medical bills each year, and outside of bankruptcy, over 20 percent of the population (about 56 million adults) between the ages of 19 and 64 struggle with health-care related bills each year.
- A recent study found that lack of insurance coverage can be tied to 45,000 deaths per year in the United States and that people without health insurance have a 40% higher risk of death than those with private health insurance.
In the Soviet Union, western antibiotics couldn't make it past the Iron Curtain. So Eastern Bloc doctors figured out how to use viruses to kill infectious bacteria. Now, with antibiotic-resistant bugs vexing doctors, that eerie yet effective method might come our way. In post-antibiotic world, infection cures you!
The technique actually dates back thousands of years, in a very rudimentary form: people observed that the water from certain rivers could cure infectious diseases like leprosy and cholera. In the early 20th century, scientists figured out that these waters contained very specific types of viruses, which killed the bacteria that caused the infections. No bacteria, no infection.
Soviet-era treatment could be the new weapon in the war against antibiotic resistance
Every year an increasing number of health tourists are travelling to Eastern bloc countries to receive an old Soviet medical treatment, which could be the answer to the West’s crisis in antibiotics.
Receiving life saving medical treatment a long way from home is never ideal, but for many of these patients phage therapy is the last in a long line of previously unsuccessful remedies used in the fight against chronic bacterial infections – which conventional Western antibiotics have been unable to shift.
Phage therapy – the use of bacteria-specific parasitic viruses to kill pathogens could offer a viable alternative to deal with multi-drug resistant infections.
Viruses that kill bacteria may sound like something out of a sci-fi film but phages have been used in this way for decades in Russia and Georgia – neither of which have the same issues surrounding antibiotic resistance that we do.
It is this rapid rise of antibiotic resistance that has led the Western world to look to Georgia in a bid to find new ways to control bacterial infections.
That's a very good way to describe it.
Half of them seem to be trying to figure out how to avoid being held responsible for whatever happens next.
You would think that it's the ideal time to move forward with a plan, but even in the GOP, there are those dead set against any form of health care on a federal legislated level, and those who do want some sort of coverage.
I think this what Trump thinks would make America great again.... the slobbering moron.. and his slobbering moronic followers.
Even the Boy Scouts are having to apologize for Trump, the guy is so vile.
Boy Scouts apologise for Trump's speech - BBC News
I felt embarrassed for Trump. About the only thing worse than engaging in partisan politics in a speech in front of a scout troupe would be in a speech at a religious meeting.
The scout leaders probably expected Trump to avoid partisan politics at the meeting, then didn't know how to react when their worst nightmare suddenly came to life in front of them.
The Scouting movement needs good role models ... astronauts ... philanthropists ... naturalists ...
Lying Con-men who have to turn Jamboree speeches into rants that are ALL ABOUT THEM does not fit the bill.
They sure don't need people like Walter hanging about them, either.

I'm sure that for all of Trump's gaffes, the Scout leaders who invited him to speak still expected him to have the wherewithal to at least know not to engage in partisan politics at a scout meeting. Did they ever overestimate him! But I don't blame them. I believe even Palin would have known better than to engage in partisan politics at a scout meeting.
A few of them probably firmly believed that Trump is going to drain the swamp and make America great again. They must have learned that it's all a con after he went on and on about how much we all need to love HIM. It seems to take some of us a little longer to work it out.
From the article you linked to:
'On Wednesday, BSA president Randall Stephenson, told AP News that the group had been concerned that Mr Trump may say something controversial during his speech.
But they felt obliged to issue an invitation to him, as they have done previously for every sitting US president, he said.
"If I suggested I was surprised by the president's comments, I would be disingenuous," said Mr Stephenson.'
Seems they feared he'd say something stupid but they invited him out of customary respect anyway hoping against all hope that their fears were misplaced.
I guess they were right after all, to their regret.
Two parents against vs. thousands for. Trump wins again. What's even funnier is that the left hates the Scouts except when Trump is involved.
