The following thread is an actual clip from Trump's speech in Las Vegas Friday night depicting a discussion he had with an imaginary man discussing health care.

People wait in line to listen to this soft-headed, ignorant, bone-spurred buffoon.

And they vote.

👇🏽
"We’re fighting to stop surprise medical bills and Barron’s is going to be very happy. I signed an executive order imposing price transparency because ..."

👇🏽
"... when providers are required to show their prices, those same prices fall very fast. You know, a man that does this very professionally is great, into the healthcare business and you have to be careful when you say it, but you know it was just a very strong statement."

👇🏽
"But he said, 'Sir, price transparency in hospitals. Where you can bid it out and you can look at the prices. Right now you can’t see. If you go to a hospital, they won’t even tell you how much it’s going to cost.'

👇🏽
'They operate and then they’ll give you a bill and you’ll say, “Oh my god, I had no idea it could be.” They take blood. We have one person, blood $39."

👇🏽
"Another place, the exact same thing, $2500. Take blood, a blood test. One is $39, one is $2500. The same test. Maybe the $39 test is better. Who the hell knows?"

👇🏽
"But it’s crazy. Price transparency and he looks at me. He goes, and he’s a real pro. One of the top in the country."

👇🏽
He said, “Sir,” and nobody wanted to do it because it’s a little bit controversial and a lot of the drug companies don’t exactly love it. The hospitals don’t love it, but I got to do what’s right for you. The people, I don’t care, I’m not. I got to do it."

👇🏽
"But he looked at me. And this is why I did it. It was one phrase. You know, do you ever do where you’re not going to do something? And then somebody hits you with a perfect phrase. He said, “Sir, price transparency is bigger than healthcare.”

👇🏽
"What the hell difference does that make? I don’t want them. I don’t want them. I got to do what’s right. You know, we’re here for a short period of time. Even if it’s a long period, it’s still a short period and we’ve got to do so. Price transparency is a big deal."

👇🏽
"He said it’s bigger than healthcare. Think of that. Bigger than healthcare. So let’s see what happens. But that’ll kick in. Unfortunately, that kicks in after the election because we’re going through the final stages. We going through a statutory process, unfortunately."

👇🏽
"So think of it, we’re going to win. But let’s say the fake news could give me enough phony stories, enough bad stuff that we don’t make it. The new president will get all the credit for price transparency and he won’t even know what the hell it is. And I took the heat."

👇🏽
"Isn’t that something?????"

👇🏽
ME: Yes it is something ...
Now I am going to got get seriously drunk.
