Weren't there literally dozens of official attempts to repeal Obamacare when the Republicans only had the House(like 5 years ago). Now that they have the power they barely try. lol

They've been trying. They don't have a big majority so as few as three Republican Senators, traitor McCain being one can stop it, and have each time.

Many sites name Trump as having gotten $1M-1.5M for speeches but I guess you're fine with that, right?

If that had been the case than Gary Johnson would have been elected.

True, & this is the other thing, Mr. Trump, the Reality Show Entertainer & POTUS is much more in sync with the Actor playing a POTUS (Comacho) in the dystopian, however simultaneously darkly comedic film, Idiocracy than he is with any other POTUS in real life.
