I read this as a sign that his lack of action during COVID was in fact intentional. He also confirmed his intent for the 25% tariffs on Mexico (which will raise food prices) and on Canada (continuing the problem with new housing being unaffordable). Plus he signed another bill today demanding that US history taught in schools be white-washed of those "troublesome" notions like slavery. Taken all together, it's obvious that the oligarchy wants the working class to be broke, hungry, homeless, and stupid enough to vote for his type again.

Your king has spoken. Long live the king.

[Edit] More news on the health care front... He's blaming WHO for his own gross mismanagement of the COVID-19 pandemic, and he has pretty much gutted every program that aims to keep health care and medication prices manageable. Isn't it funny how someone who ran for office on the idea of making things more affordable for everyone has already in his first day made costs skyrocket? https://www.statnews.com/2025/01/20/trump-executive-orders-health-care-drug-pricing-aca-covid-gender-discrimination/
