Trump ran on these as his main points, mainly "The wall" that was going to be paid by Mexico. Trump has had control of the senate/house, yet when when these issues came up, nothing happened.
Heck, the same GOP electives that were wasting countless hours of taxpayer funds under Obama trying to repeal his landmark healthcare plan, folded when they had the opportunity to actually do so to repeal it.
What's going on with the GOP?

Of course not. Mr. Trump has no power to order a separate, sovereign country (in this case, Mexico) to do what he or the United States wants. Neither does Congress, so Republican control of the House and Senate mean nothing.
Of course, the United States could negotiate with Mexico to divide costs somehow on the wall, or to encourage Mexico to provide some kind of help to those passing through from Central America, so they don't get to the US, but the US is not doing either. All of Mr. Trump's blather and bluster cannot force a country outside of his jurisdiction to do what he wants; and I am surprised that his supporters think that he can.
What I want to know is where is Trump's health care plan that will cover more people at more affordable rates. Haven't heard much about that in a while.

The wall would already be built, or at least large sections of it -- if congress had authorized the funds.
And as for mexico paying for it -- for the 10,000th time on these boards, he didn't say that Mexico was going to directly pay for it by writing a check.

No mention of health care at all.
It really is telling.
The Republicans don't know how to fix it - or can't agree about it. Trump has no clue ...he doesn't know what's wrong with it,so he can't even offer up how to fix it.
I don't blame him -- it is a complicated issue....but he can't even manage to find folks that may know and who might work to fix it.
Obama ran on closing Guantanamo....that's closed, right?
Obama didn't fix healthcare, he kicked the can down the road. Even he admitted it wouldn't be sustainable without changes. He also said if you liked your doctor, you could keep them, turned out to be not true in a lot of cases. They issued so many waivers since a lot of institutions and insurers were planning to opt out of serving the obamacare demographic.

Healthcare is pretty much unfixable -- the only thing we could try at this point is single payer. Might improve things - might not. The root of the healthcare problems are sky high medical school costs. Do you know a way to get those costs down?
