whether you like it or not Why would you insert hostility that appears to be a response to something that doesn't exist in the parent comment?

Probably because any even implicit support for trump is dangerous on the internet, hence the qualifier.

I saw no hostility. Are you sure you're not hostile hourself?

  "Trump will do this, whether you like it or not". No-one said anything about Trump's ability, or lack thereof, to do this, or their perspective on such abilities. So yeah, hostility.

  I wouldn't call it hostile. Defensive seems a better word. In any case let's see him follow through on that. But I would like to see some real steps and not just discussions with some business leaders, maybe some nasty tweets, declaring victory and then forgetting about it.

No hostility intended. Trump literally doesn't care if someone likes it or not. He promised it, it's happening, end of story.

  What happened with the "wonderful" health plan he promised? Did that happen?

    It will: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/01/trump-clears-way-for-health-plans-to-compete-with-obamacare.html https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/01/trump-clears-way-for-health-.... Downvote brigade has arrived, so I can't respond. This is not what he was talking about, but you gotta start somewhere. I'm on an Obamacare plan myself, and I agree that it's a "total disaster". $13k+/yr for barely any coverage at all.

      I don't think that's what he was talking about when he tweeted this: https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/839086723552411648?lang=en https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/83908672355241164...

      Hm. I'd like to understand more. Why not just go back to your other health care plan? (or, I suppose, why not just pay the penalty?) Also, what circumstances lead to $13K a year? -- I'm only familiar with folks at the lower wage spectrum that are definitely not paying that and are getting much better coverage (read: any) than they would've 5 years ago. Thanks in advance.
